Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson:
When her marriage ends after two miserable weeks, Marnie is understandably shocked. She’s even more astonished to find that she’s inherited a Brooklyn brownstone from her ex-husband’s matchmaking great-aunt Blix, along with all her unfinished “projects”: the heartbroken, oddball friends and neighbors running from happiness. Marnie doesn’t believe she’s anything special, but Blix somehow knew she was the perfect person to follow in her matchmaker footsteps.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern:
The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose: a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite themselves, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
