A wonderful story about coming of age in the sixties. Twenty-year-old Marilyn has trouble sticking to the strict rules of her orthodox Jewish family in 1960s New York City. As punishment for her shenanigans, she’s sent to a great Aunt in Philadelphia who is a matchmaker by profession, for the summer. Aunt Ada is nothing like what Marilyn assumes she will be, and she learns more about herself, love, and family than she ever bargained for. Sara Goodman Confino’s characters are abrasive, selfish, and completely lovable. Great for the beach, or anyone who struggles with accepting rules that just don’t seem to apply. Published September 1, 2023. Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for sharing this review copy with me.
