Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Berkley for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Roselle Lim - 4.5 stars!
Sophie Go is a matchmaker - she sees those red threads between potential perfect matches. She went to Singapore to matchmaking school and has come back to Toronto to start her business. But she never really got her certification - something she is trying to keep secret until she can get recertified. She finally moves out of her parents' home and meets a group of seniors in her apartments, affectionately known as the Old Ducks. They become her first clients.
This is a wonderful mix of magical realism, romance and a heartfelt story - I loved it! The thought of those thick, tangled glowing red threads between a perfect pair is a wonderful image. Sophie's confidence and backbone have been tested throughout her life by a mean and domineering mother and she struggles to get move forward. This book showcases the power of a wonderful, honest friend as well as those new friends that become like family. I loved the nicknames of the Old Ducks and how their different personalities really came through but in a true way, not demeaning or stereotypical. Just a great read!
