Matchmaking for Beginners
by Maddie Dawson
Review contains spoilers!
I found myself skimming this book. I didn't really like the character of Blix and I thought there were too many guys. Also, I would have been totally happy with her ending up with Jeremy and living a nice white picket-fence life in the same area as her sister and parents. Instead, this character I didn't like totally ruined that for me. Also, Blix kept saying that Marnie was supposed to "do great and big things" with her life. Where are those great and big things? I felt that part was also slightly cliche: she gets almost stood up by her fiance, gets her heart broken two weeks later and some old woman with "magical powers" is telling her that she is destined for a great life. No. Too cliche for me. And yes I know the whole white picket-fence thing is cliche too but, it doesn't involve magic. I guess I just wasn't a fan. I gave it two stars though because it did keep me interested for the first half of the book.
