The Magic of Found Objects
The Magic of Found Objects: A Novel | Maddie Dawson
12 posts | 13 read | 10 to read
From the bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners comes a feel-good story about becoming who you were meant to be all along. Phronsie Linnelle was conceived at Woodstock in a serendipitous liaison between a free-spirited hippie and a farmer's son and was born with magical wonder flickering in her DNA and rationality knit into her bones. All her life she's been torn between the two. But now that she's been betrayed by both love and the mother she once idolized, her rational side is winning. So when her best friend from childhood proposes that they give up on romance and marry each other, Phronsie agrees. Who better to spend your life with than your best friend? Maybe the connection they already have is love. Maybe there's no falling to be done. But immediately after they announce their engagement, she encounters someone who makes a very charming and compelling argument for revisiting romance. While her even-keeled stepmother argues for the safety that comes with her new engagement and her mother relays messages from the universe to hold out for true love, Phronsie must look to her own heart to find the answers that have been there all along.

Couldn‘t stay away. I put off reading this because others said it was not as magical as “Matchmaking for Beginners.” It is, it‘s just not quite the same kind of magic. Phronsie is giving up on love and going to marry her best friend…and then a possible love interest is thrown her way. I just had to keep reading to find out which relationship she was going to devote herself to keeping. Attitude is what makes life magical.

I finally read July's free Prime read. I was excited to read it but I didn't love it. I didn't love the characters or the execution of the story. It's got all the right vibes and meet cutes. So much of the story feels forced together and "made", not authentic. The whole "magic of found objects" theme that whole story rides on is without purpose in the end and it makes you wonder why the heck it's been so prominent the whole time.

⭐⭐⭐

peanutnine I picked this for July as well but haven't had a chance to read yet 3y
nichollinlove @peanutnine I hope it flows better for you! I think that sometimes a book just doesn't work for me because I'm not in the mood for it. 3y
peanutnine @nichollinlove I totally get that! 3y

This book ended exactly how I wanted it to and provided hope in a way that only a book can do. In a world where everyone has flaws, it was lovely to see that each character was so well written. Every character had depth, which only made me love them more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a more realistic rom-com in their life! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AmazonFirstReads

This was a cute, quickie read. I expected the ending, but getting there was a fun read. The main character, Phronsie, and her best friend, Judd, decide they‘re done with dating & are going to marry each other based on their great friendship. Even though they aren‘t in love. Phronsie‘s interesting upbringing, boho mom, farmer dad & stepmom…and all of life‘s moments coming up to this.
