What a beautiful heartwarming story!  This was exactly the book I needed to read right now and I loved every minute.  

Sara Glikman has known since she was just a child the gift she has been given.  She can spot love, even between the most unlikely couples.  Growing up in New York in the early 1900s, matchmaking is a lucrative business for those men in control of it, and a young girl is not welcome in their field.  Sara must be cautious, but she can't deny the pull she feels to bring soulmates together.  

Two generations later, Sara's granddaughter Abby is working as a divorce lawyer representing famous and wealthy clients, but with her grandmother gone now, Abby feels adrift and begins to search for answers by reading through the journals that her grandmother left her.  As she turns the pages and begins to look more closely at some of her own clients, she wonders if true soul mates do exist.  

I truly loved this book and I think it makes a wonderful book to gift.  The characters are all so well written and it was an uplifting positive read.

The It Girl by Ruth Ware

I've come to count on Ruth Ware to deliver a suspenseful twisty thriller and The It Girl fulfilled every expectation.  

Roommates April and Hannah became fast friends during their first term at Oxford.  With Will, Ryan, Emily and Hugh, they all  grew close over those weeks, until Hannah discovered April's body in their dorm room.  Now a decade later, the man convicted of the murder dies in prison and a journalist reaches out to Hannah with some questions about what Hannah saw that night.  Hannah and Will are expecting their first child together and should be putting the past behind them, but Hannah can't dismiss her doubts.  As she begins to search for answers, the path is full of twists and turns.

The It Girl definitely kept me guessing and was the perfect suspenseful read.  When I thought I had a suspect, another twist would be thrown in and I'd be left perplexed all over again.
