Maggie Marclay is living in L.A. with a roomy she can't
stand. Mags is an
artist
and has a website, Collage A Week. Breaking off with her
unfaithful
boyfriend, Jason, Mags is searching for her soul mate.
She and her
brother,
Cooper, were brought up without their father, leaving
them both insecure,
and Mags believing in the family "Newman Curse". Her
normal paying job
is
as a graphic designer at Bridalville, an online humor mag
start-up.
Her best friend Coco coerces her into making a video
for a creative
dating
site. This is the start of Mags journey into finding
herself when she
answers
an ad to purchase a used camera on Craigslist. The ad
"You want my
camera?
Careful, destiny included" captures her attention.
Purchasing the video
camera brings with it instructions for a treasure hunt to
"find" her destiny
and
one true soul mate.
Using her own ingenuity and friend's abilities, Mags is
taken from one end of L.A. to the other, from one statue
to another, from
one
food trailer to another, all in the attempt to follow her
"destiny" and perhaps,
herself. Along the way she finds clues and helpful hints
on websites to
guide
her and meets the most interesting people along the way.
Searching for
the
dog with the spotted tongue is her obsession in finding
that "one true man"
that can change her life.
This is a most unusual way to read a book when
written as a click lit with
multiple sources along the journey as references. Taking
this jaunt along
life
with the funny but desperate young woman is a trip you
won't likely forget.
It's amazing what can happen if we believe in our destiny
or are even
willing
to take that leap of faith.
Hillary Carlip has built an amazing tale out of the
loneliness and confusion of a young woman to bring the
reader an amazing
insight into finding the "one" for this girl. FIND ME
I'M YOURS is certainly
a different
approach to the books I have read and reviewed
previously, but definitely a
most interesting concept.
“If you believe in destiny like I do, and you think there’s
even a remote possibility we’re meant to be together, then
find me I’m yours.” —Mr. WTF
In one sentence—one serendipitous moment—everything Mags
Marclay, an offbeat, wry, 24-year-old struggling artist
living in L.A., has ever known is forever changed as she is
led on a treasure hunt to find her soul mate.
