Do you wish that someone was: Looking for You

A Novel

by Alexander McCall Smith

#LookingforYou #NetGalley

For me a title by Alexander McCall Smith is a comfort read. Currently, that is the kind of read that I really need so I was delighted to pick up Looking for You.

This title is another in the Perfect Passion Company series about a matchmaker in Edinburgh. For those who don’t know (though there are probably not many), McCall Smith has written several other series. I especially love the Scotland set Dalhousie ones but another favorite is The Number One Ladies Detective Agency. These are worth searching out.

This book speaks to the common wish to find the right relationship, the one where a person feels understood and loved for exactly who they are. Follow Katie Donald as she tries to help any number of people.

With Valentine’s Day upcoming, this book that reminds us of the wonder of love, would make a perfect gift for yourself or a person in your life. McCall Smith writes in a lovely style that displays warmth, understanding and humor.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor | Vintage for this title. All opinions are my own.
