A Happy Catastrophe
A Happy Catastrophe | Maddie Dawson
8 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
From the bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners comes a novel about love, loss, and the beautiful mess of family. 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?

Sweet, heartfelt, sequel to Matchmaking for Beginners, set four years later.

Another very satisfying read by Maddie Dawson filled with the magic & pain of human relationships. Marnie continues with the life Blix foresaw for her, but now she wants a baby and Patrick is dead set against it. A new adventure hits them in the form of Fritzie, but it is the beginning of a deep anguish for Marnie. Was Blix actually right and she‘ll live a big life?

Finally getting around to blogging about and reviewing the books I read last month...This novel is adorable and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While the first in the series will always be my favorite, I loved diving deeper into the characters and learning more about why they are the way they are.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I didn‘t particularly engage well with this one. I felt like the main character‘s boyfriend was beyond awful, even while dealing with his own demons. And the story felt weak.

When I finished this book, I did not realize this was a sequel to another book, but this stands completely on its own. This book is about life and all it‘s messiness, and I just loved it.
