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.

"This book goes back and forth with Phronsie’s childhood to the present. This was a very quick read. Her best friend since Kindergarten proposes to her since they are mid 30s and tired of the online dating scene. She and her twin was conceived at Woodstock and her mom remained a hippy, while her dad moved back to his farm and married the small town girl. <br/><br/>The storylines didn’t mesh up well for me. Her mother who she barely ever saw, was all about love. Her stepmom was about practicality. <br/><br/>This was a book about different types of love. Will Phronsie go through with the wedding to her best friend? Read it and find out<br/><br/>"

"<strong>The Universe always has your back</strong><br/><br/>I read this book in one day. I was completely wrapped up in the story! Great characters, flaws and all. Good reminders about the magic of the universe and the importance of loving one another.<br/><br/>4/5 stars because the ending was predictable about halfway through the story."
