Matchmaking for Beginners
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.

Marnie is the MOST unlikable character that's ever existed.I think the author meant for readers to like Marnie, but she's the worst. Let me count the ways:1) No agency. Life happens to Marnie, she doesn't make many decisions and all the action comes from stuff just showing up in her path.2) She's basic. Marnie spends half the book talking about how all she wants is a "normal life." She has no interests or hobbies or things she loves. I couldn't even tell you if she has a favorite food, or if sheSo here's the thing....sometimes you want a book that is sweet and lighthearted and with a happy ever after.
