Marrying Myself

By: Christine Melanie Benson

Narrated by: Kay Webster

It's a fairy tale come true for Julia Jones, a stalled artist living in Boston's Old World Italian neighborhood, the North End. She's engaged to marry the impossibly wonderful (and impossibly wealthy) Asher Bartlett—in a Swiss castle, no less. And after the wedding, she'll get to ditch her dead-end job and go from being a sometime painter to a full-time artist.

But when the wedding plans take a turn for the worse, in a flash, Julia's life goes from fairy tale to second-rate soap opera. Determined as she is not to again lose track of her art, she's got to pay the rent—and deal with her diabolical coworker. She does her best to hold it together as brief flickers of romantic hope are followed by repeated rejection. All the while, she's haunted by the biggest mystery of all: what went wrong with Asher?

Looking for a fun, often funny listen with substance and a jolt of self-love? Pick up Marrying Myself and fall in love with Julia, with Boston—and, most of all, with yourself.

Best Romance novel I have read.

Ok, to be honest I haven't read many, but as a heterosexual male I have experienced a few which is probably more than normal. lol The unusual nature of this novel which have the protagonist ultimately finding happiness by learning to love herself is very well thought out, amd the story keeps your attention. If this book was written from someone already famous, it would be a best seller. I look forward to future books from Christine Benson and hope she gets the fame she deserves.

This book gave me a gift!!

Remarkable when a life story can strengthen one’s resolve to be faithful to oneself. This meaningful narrative had me vowing to think and act carefully in love and work. Also, I found solace in the wonderful friendship between main character Julia and her best friend, Cat. These two touched my heart!
