“A delightful, light-as-air romance that successfully straddles the line between sweet and smart without ever being silly…The novel is simply captivating from beginning to end.” ―Associated Press
Marnie MacGraw wants an ordinary life―a husband, kids, and a minivan in the suburbs. Now that she’s marrying the man of her dreams, she’s sure this is the life she’ll get. Then Marnie meets Blix Holliday, her fiancé’s irascible matchmaking great-aunt who’s dying, and everything changes―just as Blix told her it would.
When her marriage ends after two miserable weeks, Marnie is understandably shocked. She’s even more astonished to find that she’s inherited Blix’s Brooklyn brownstone along with all of Blix’s unfinished “projects”: the heartbroken, oddball friends and neighbors running from happiness. Marnie doesn’t believe she’s anything special, but Blix somehow knew she was the perfect person to follow in her matchmaker footsteps.
And Blix was also right about some things Marnie must learn the hard way: love is hard to recognize, and the ones who push love away often are the ones who need it most.

A nice light read for in between
Got this book recommended by Amazon. And I needed something light in between the heavier ones I have read and will be reading. And this was it. I felt that the end was too rushed. Not sure where the focus was, too many things were happening all at once. I was weirded out by the fact that the story between Marnie and Patrick happened too quickly. Maybe Patrick's POV would have helped. Anyways, on to the next book in this series.
What a whimsical story with a lovely cast of distinct characters. Marnie was a bit doormat-ey at times, and it was made the recurring theme of her life. It's okay for characters not to be likeable, but oh, how I wanted her to punch Noah in the face. Several times. Blix was an amazing second MC. So excentric, but wise. I really enjoyed it overall!
