Marnie MacGraw and Patrick Delaney have been in love for a few years now, enough to realize that they are imperfectly perfect together. Still, there are some things that maybe need a little attention. Marnie’s ebullient; he’s brooding. She thrives on change; he prefers stability. She sees marriage and parenthood in their future, but he can’t see beyond the shadow of an earlier tragedy.

Then an eight-year-old surprise from Patrick’s past shows up on their doorstep, cartwheeling into their lives and spinning things in all directions. While it’s not exactly the change she envisioned, it looks like instant family to Marnie. But Patrick, afraid of being hurt again, retreats further into himself. Suddenly, two very different pieces of a beautiful puzzle find it harder and harder to fit. How can Marnie trust in the magic of the universe when it seems to be doing its best to knock her off her feet?

But some love stories are worth waiting for. And what’s love without a little chaos anyway?

I confess I was expecting more from this second book. I really liked the first one, but here the story doesn't seem to develop much. It drags on and on without anything exciting. It seems that the two main characters are too lazy to be themselves. Talking and resolving issues. Fritzie is the character who brought the book to life and yet it seems strange to me that she's only eight years old. Anyway... I was happy that the ending was nice, but the reading didn't flow very well for me. I often found myself bored. 🥲
