In 1960, a young woman named Marilyn Kleinman embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery in this captivating, humorous, and heartfelt novel by the acclaimed author of "Shes Up to No Good." When Marilyn's scandalous encounter with the rabbi's son in front of the entire congregation leads to her being sent to her great-aunt Ada's home for the summer, she believes that her reputation is beyond saving. However, to her surprise, Ada turns out to be far more than the humorless septuagenarian her mother had portrayed. With her striking platinum-blonde hair, luxurious Hermès scarf, and stylish Cadillac convertible, Ada exudes confidence, wit, and a fierce determination to succeed in her profession as a premier matchmaker in Philadelphia.

As the summer unfolds, Ada and Marilyn venture to the Jersey shore, where Marilyn assists Ada in her search for eligible matches—for everyone except herself. Through their adventures, Marilyn learns valuable lessons from Ada about the importance of self-respect, independence, and embracing the unknown. She realizes that she doesn't have to settle for a life that is comfortable but unfulfilling. With the school year approaching and her father threatening to disinherit her, Marilyn faces a critical decision. Should she return to the familiar path she knows, or take a risk and pursue her own dreams and aspirations?

Through her journey with Ada, Marilyn discovers the strength and courage to make her own choices and chart her course in life. She learns that true happiness comes from pursuing one's passions and living authentically, even if it means going against societal expectations. "Ada and Marilyn's Summer Adventure" is a testament to the power of self-discovery, friendship, and the courage to follow one's heart. It is a story that will resonate with readers of all ages, reminding them that life is a journey of exploration and that it is never too late to embrace the freedom to be who you truly are.
