Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

“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

Find Me I’m Yours is a highly entertaining, unconventional virtual page-turner. Become immersed in Mags’s world through original artwork, hand-written lists, graphics, and Instagram photos within the book. You can go even deeper into the Find Me I’m Yours universe by clicking on embedded links leading to interactive content that’s expertly woven through the novel, including:

• Original rom-com style VIDEOS that star the handsome stranger Mags dubs “Mr. WTF,” who gives clues to the hunt. • Thirty-three unique, custom-designed WEBSITES that further the narrative, blur the lines between fiction and reality, and offer endless ways for you to enjoy additional original content, including reality and comedy series featuring A-list talent. • OPPORTUNITIES for you to share your own content (artwork, stories, songs, apologies, wishes, etc.), interact, connect, and personally engage with the story.
