The search for happiness turns a woman’s life upside down in a warm, quirky, and bighearted novel about the joys and chaos of finding love by the bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners.
Thirtysomething Mimi Perkins is still single, unmoored, and longing for love despite enduring countless dates. When Ren Yardley—a handsome, divorced drama teacher and single father—falls in love with her and proposes, she believes this is the good news her psychic predicted.
However, Ren soon receives devastating news: his ex-wife has been in a debilitating car accident. Ren decides to move back into his former home to care for her and his daughters temporarily. Ever loyal, Ren wants Mimi to stay close, so she uproots her life in New York City and follows him to New Haven, Connecticut. There, Mimi finds a job and an unexpected community at a quirky local daycare.
