Matchmaking for Beginners

By Maddie Dawson

Book Overview

A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.

"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 fianc '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.

Customer Reviews

Simply a beautiful book...

This book is for anyone that is in hopes of finding love and or simply need to see that love can be anywhere, if you just stop and look. I hate to admit that I had not read a book that I truly enjoyed until I came across Matchmaking for Beginners. The characters were so real and in some strange way all relatable to people that you cross paths with in life. You will ride a rollercoaster of emotions, you will catch yourself smiling when characters get together and furious at the thought of others. Truly a beautiful story.
