Description
Kat Simon’s life revolves around stories: the ones she gets paid to chronicle on the radio every weekday morning, those embedded within the treasures she finds at her favorite antique shop, Whimsy and Wu, and the ones in her head that tell her she’s not good enough. But when she thrifts a gorgeous vase that turns out to be an urn occupied by the spirit of former southern socialite, Marjorie Lockwood, Kat gets a bigger story than she bargained for.
Marjorie is bold, confident, and self-assured—everything Kat isn’t. Unable to keep her judgments to herself, Marjorie decides to help Kat understand why her dating life is a disaster. Meanwhile, Kat is determined to help Marjorie figure out what unfinished business is keeping her from going into the light, so they can both finally rest in peace. What ensues is a journey of hilarious hijinks (how does one excuse bringing an urn everywhere they go without raising suspicion?) and profound self discovery. Marjorie & Me is a delightfully funny and heartwarming story about the magical bonds that exist between women and the transcendent power of unconditional love.

Five bright shining stars!!
This book took me apart and sewed me back together again. I really have no bad things to say about this book. The friends to lovers were perfect, the growth we see in both Kat and Marjorie is so well done. Jude is just the perfect friend turned lover. I finished this book in one day! I was in such a reading slump, and it pulled me right out. It's such a cozy good read, I will be telling all my girlfriends to pick this one up and give it a try.
