Bio
Next to my 3 kids I love books. I would read by the beach all day every day but #adulthood I am down for trying anything but I gravitate to contemporary fiction, historical fiction, mysteries and YA. Just started to dip into Fantasy with A Curse so Dark and Lonely and may have found myself a new genre. Give me all the book recommendations

KatieI received a copy of this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I’m speechless. This ARC is not only getting 5 stars but it’s being filed into my “favorites” shelf, which I don’t often do. My mind is still blown from this incredible story. These characters are going to be with me forever. If this doesn’t get turned into a movie I will be truly shocked. The story centers around Marilyn, a 20 something New Yorker, home from college, who decides to make out with her rabbi’s son in the middle of service…until their hormones send them flying through a stained glass window, landing them at the feet of the entire congregation. As would be expected by the reader, Marilyn is sent off to spend the summer with her grumpy matchmaking aunt for the summer in hopes of setting her on the straight and narrow path of marriage and motherhood. But after this point you can toss any plot expectations you might have for this story out your car window because this book is anything but your usual plot. It’s so so so much more. Expertly written and laid out, Mrs. Confino introduces you to characters who are so real you’d swear they’ve been over to your own home at some point. The fast talking and witty Aunt Ada steals the show with her zinger one liners. The interactions between her, Marilyn and Ada’s housekeeper, Frannie are very reminiscent of the characters in The Marvelous Mrs. Mazel. I can’t say much else without spoiling this story except for this: Sara Goodman Confino I need a prequel ASAP. I need more Ada!!!!! Get yourself on whatever pre order list you need to because this book is going to be all over your feed once it releases on September 1. I’m now off to deal with my severe book hangover because I’m not sure what I could possibly read that will be as good as this. I’m still grinning after that ending. Sooooooo good. I’m so jealous of everyone that gets to enjoy this story for the first time.
