Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson
This book made me want to change my whole life around and listen to my gut more. It’s free right now for Kindle if you have Prime, which you probably have at least for this month so you can buy Prime Day goodies.
Marnie is just recently engaged to the perfect man who is going to give her the suburban life she dreamed of. This is, until she met Blix whose predictions of her life keep coming true. Blix is fatally ill and leaves Marnie her brownstone in Brooklyn for her to take care of. Marnie discovers the charm and wisdom of Blix while taking care of her estate after her death and her whole life changes.
5/5
I started a couple other books, but I couldn’t get into them so I didn’t force myself to. I think that August I will have a lot more time to read, and hopefully will have a longer list!
