This story is based on a real building.

Marnie Fairchild runs the family business Wish & Company where she services high end clientele who don't want the task of gift buying. Marnie is a meticulous person who keeps superb records to help her clients keep track of their gift giving to avoid embarrassing duplicates. Her business is particularly kept afloat by one particular client, Brian Charlesworth who not only needs to keep track of his presents to wife, Suzanne, but also to his mistress, Leona. This is a light, romantic story with humorous moments when the ever perfect Marnie becomes distracted and accidently gets some gifts mixed up. 

It's a story which makes you consider what a gift represents, is something a person needs or wants? Will it make the person happy? Can you really entrust this personal experience to someone else? It seems to lose it's precious value.
 
Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing for allowing me to read this book for review consideration. My honest review is my unbiased opinion.
