~ CLOSED ~ Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker by Marla Martenson - Review & Giveaway

If you're anything at all like me you always have a book on your night stand.  This time of the year do you enjoy a book that's light, entertaining and a great read so you can curl up before bedtime and escape from all the holiday stress!! 

Well, I'm going to save you one more stressor,  because I have found for you a book that fits that "wish list" perfectly!!

"In Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker, Marla takes you on a hilarious romp through her days as an L.A. matchmaker and her daily struggles to keep her self-esteem from imploding in a town where looks are everything and money talks. From juggling the demands of her out-of-touch clients to trying her best to meet the capricious demands of an insensitive boss to the ups and downs of her own marriage to a Latin husband who doesn't think that she is 'domestic' enough, Marla writes with charm and self-effacement about the universal struggles that all women face in their lives. 
You will laugh, cringe, and cry as you journey with her through outrageous stories about the indignities of dating in Los Angeles, dealing with overblown egos, vicariously hobnobbing with celebrities, and navigating the wannabe-land of Beverly Hills. In a city where perfection is almost a prerequisite, even Marla can't help but run for the Botox every once in a while."  (From book jacket)

This is a fun and quirky read, it's based on the authors own personal journey and you get an inside, behind the scenes look at what actually happens in the life of a Beverly Hills matchmaker.  You're privy to e-mails, conversations with clients, handling of sticky situations and happily ever afters! 

And, if that's not enough to keep you entertained, you'll also read all about Marla's marriage to her Latin lover and her everyday struggles with her job, home, friendships and relationships.

I thought, Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker was charming; the perfect book for the holidays or for any time you just want to escape your "real" world!
