Marilyn gets sent to her great-aunt Ada for the summer after a mortifying event in front of their whole congregation. Hi jinx ensue. Ada is a matchmaker, but Marilyn doesn’t want a marriage, at least not now. She has dreams and wants freedom, not to be caged in by society and her father. 

Sara Goodman Confino writes snark well. And I loved the writing scenes. Her characters are wonderful and I will miss them. I turn the corners of pages where I cry or smile or love the words, and so many page corners are turned in this novel. 

So grateful to the friend who recommended this title to me, wish I could remember who it was so I could properly thank her. And I am paying it forward. This is a great read about connection, choices, and creativity. I loved this book! And I hope you will too.
