Publisher's summary
An Audible Best Fiction Audiobook of 2023
In 1960, a young woman discovers a freedom she never knew existed in this exhilarating, funny, and emotional novel by the bestselling author of She’s Up to No Good.
When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye.
To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly. As the summer unfolds, Ada and Marilyn head for the Jersey shore, where Marilyn helps Ada scope out eligible matches—for anyone but Marilyn, that is.
Because if there’s one thing Marilyn’s learned from Ada, it’s that she doesn’t have to settle. With the school year quickly approaching and her father threatening to disinherit her, Marilyn must make her choice for her future: return to the comfortable life she knows or embrace a risky, unknown path on her own.

Critic reviews
“It's fun listening to narrator Helen Laser depict 20-year-old Marilyn's adventures while visiting her Great-Aunt Ada in 1960s Philadelphia.… Laser is pitch-perfect in her characterizations of the formidable but empathetic Ada and the clever but not yet fully formed Marilyn. This listening treat is part coming-of-age story and part romance, with family secrets galore.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner
“Confino weaves humor into her novel that will delight readers. This is a historical tale that speaks to the choices women were starting to make on the road to greater independence.”—Booklist
“This is a funny but realistic look at the more restricted lives of women in the 1960s. It will instantly transport you to Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore, and to a time when a decade of change for women was just beginning.”—Historical Novels Review

New England, 2022. Three years ago, single mother Mallory Dunne received the telephone call every parent dreads—her ten-year-old son, Sam, had been airlifted from summer camp with acute poisoning from a toxic death cap mushroom, leaving him fighting for his life. Now, searching for the donor kidney that will give her son a chance for a normal life, Mallory’s forced to confront two harrowing secrets from her past: her mother’s adoption from an infamous Irish orphanage in 1952, and her own all-consuming summer romance fourteen years earlier with her childhood best friend, Monk Adams.

Pippa Jones is a fortyish former literary sensation who fears she will be a one-hit wonder. After the follow-up book she was almost done writing, Podlusters, had to be tossed (it ended up sharing a plot and title with superstar author Ella Rankin’s summer blockbuster!), she couldn’t write a thing. Months of staring at a blank page made her confidence vanish like a one-night stand. When she finds out that she has only five days left to finish (or rather, start) or repay an advance she’s already spent, Pippa has a brilliantly original idea.

Just enough details.
This read was quick and fun
the elements of foreshadowing kept you guessing and inferring. The author was still able to catch me off guard with some surprises.

What a great book and narration one of the best!
First thing I have to say about this audio book is that the narrator was wonderful. Second thing is I do so hope there is a sequel - heck - even a prequel to explore Ada's back story.
What a great, enjoyable book! Funny, witty, heartfelt. Everything good!
The Jersey shore in the 60's, how I wish I had not been so young at that time because all I remember about the place and time is playing in the sand and water. A great coming of age book for young women in the 60's.
All the characters were likable - even Ada, once you get to know her. Her and Marilyn's relationship is one to be jealous of.
Without spoiling anything one part of the story was predictable, IMO, and was no big surprise. The other part was surprising but, I want to know more! And that is why I really hope there is a sequel.
If you want a book that is thoroughly enjoyable, with not a lot a drama, this is it.
And I highly recommend the audio version. There will be no better way to get the wit and sarcasm, and love, in the conversations than through the wonderful narration.
One of the best, most enjoyable reads of the year. Off to find more of her books.
