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 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 poignant story about Maddie, a young woman from Florida who reluctantly moves into the ramshackle Brooklyn house she has inherited from her great-aunt-in-law matchmaker Blix, where she comes to peace with living in the North, and begins to embrace the power of the witch inside. Along the way, Maddie meets a group of assorted misfits who were her aged benefactor's friends and fans, who teach her how to be true to her witchy legacy. Although it deals with big life changes like death, loss and betrayal, there is nothing sentimental about this story. That it starts with its heroine being stood up at the altar is an added bonus. Joyce Bean is lovely in her role as the elderly Blix, and Amy McFadden as Maddie makes the story shine.
