Summary
It's finally time for The Magic of Found Objects Book Club! This Book felt totally different than others we've read recently and we're so excited to talk about it!
The story follows Phronsie, who was conceived at Woodstock by a free-spirited hippie mother and a practical farmer father. All her life she's been torn between the two. After trying her hand at the NYC dating scene, her childhood best friend proposes that they give up on romance and marry each other. After Phronsie agrees, she meets someone who makes a case for revisiting romance. While her stepmother argues for the safety of the engagement, her birth mother relays messages from the universe to hold out for true love, and Phronsie must look to her own heart to find the answers.
In addition to talking all about the book, we also talk about Becca's trip to Palm Beach, Grace's birthday party prep, and the struggle of being a beginner again at something you used to be great at.
