The thought that all it takes is one interaction with the right person to know if they’re the one is very interesting when in such a large city as New York and that there could be so many missed opportunities every day

Lynda Cohen Loigman has quickly become one of my very favorite authors! And this new book did not disappoint. I loved the dual timeline stories equally, which isn’t always the case for me. Highly recommend preordering this one! And I hope Lynda will hurry and write another!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this fantastic audio! This story goes back and forth between the past where we eat Sara, a matchmaker and and the present with her granddaughter Abby. A delightful tale about love and soulmates, and the people who bring them together. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, endearing tale.
