The Magic of Found Objects

This book is so sweet. Sweet in a good way. I love how Maddie Dawson writes… her books are all so magical. (her other book, Matchmaking For Beginners, is still one of my all-time favorite books.) Phronsie and Judd have been best friends forever, bonding over their (many) bad dates in New York (relatable!!!). One day, Judd hatches a plan… they should get married! They are above all of that love stuff… and since they have the foundation of friendship, they’ll be able to spend the rest of their lives together, raise children, and so on and so forth. Phronsie’s father and stepmother couldn’t be more delighted. The wedding is moving forward. Meanwhile, her capricious and free-spirited semi-estranged birth mother keeps telling Phronsie to STOP, that the universe is sending her signs not to do it. When Phronsie meets someone who she could (maybe?) really love, she has to make a decision. Does she move forward with a life that will give her stability and babies and certainty… or should she give that up and hold out for true love?! I really enjoyed this book and am excited that we’re going to have it as our September book club pick! Order on Bookshop.org or Amazon.
