Download As PDF : Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker eBook Marla Martenson 
In Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker, Marla takes her readers for 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 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.
Readers will laugh, cringe and cry as they 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.
Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker eBook Marla Martenson
What am amazing story. Part autobiography, part day by day story of her high level matchmaking job, part expose on the vapid values of southern California rich and old vs young and beautiful, and the rest, good clean, hysterical fun! It brought back a lot of memories for me of life in La La Land. Loved the affirmations at the end of each chapter. Glad the author has a real, grounded, loving, supportive marriage as well as friends and family to balance the craziness of her profession. Who said matchmaking was easy. And yet, for all the problems and fussy clients, there are the happy love matches that result. A roller coaster of a ride. And I especially liked the author's gratitude, in spite of her exhaustion and juggling too many balls for a mere one person. Well done. I didn't give the book a fifth star because of some sloppy editing at times.Product details

Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker eBook Marla Martenson Reviews
It was not easy to put this baby down each night! Whether you are in the Los Angeles dating scene or not, this is quite the read. As many of us know, dating in general can be dreadfully challenging these days, but dating in La La Land can be an absolute nightmare so the idea of a matchmaker makes more sense than one might imagine. And who is the perfect woman for the job? You guessed it! Marla sure knows her stuff and just how to please some of the most finicky, demanding clients in the world. Not to mention, she has years upon years of first-hand experience with the one essential criteria most would expect and assume any matchmaker to have...a genuine, loving, lasting relationship. As you get to know her through the pages of the book, you soon see how her demoralizing daily dealings at "Double D" only make her appreciate her own life, love, and relationships that much more. Bonus the end-of-chapter affirmations. )
Just started reading from this author and found her to be refreshing. Already started a 2nd book from her in this series and enjoying it as well.
Part way through reading I had to laugh at myself after re-examining the cover and synopsis of Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker. Marla says nothing about providing *insight* on matchmaking, though it was what I mostly expected. It was all in my imaginings however. She delivers EXACTLY what the back cover promises, and one big unplugged surplus more.
I mean, will all the Adolfo's in the world please stand and step forward!!! Marla does a wonderful job lavishing her diary with accounts of how she met and married her amazing husband Adolfo. Their relationship really made this book fizz and sparkle.
I loved the way Adolfo supports her, falling in love with the part when he has the premonition about Marla pursuing writing. And the bit in the car dealership, Marla and her mom waiting on Adolfo to select and finalized a car purchase, I fell out the chair laughing. Absolutely hilarious! Wished I could have been there to see (and hear) them two. The emails accompanied with Marla's tacit retorts were pretty comical too. Otherwise, GEESH! One would need all of the magical thujone green stuff there was to drink imbibing those rich grade D men on the dismal quest for companionship.
Really, really enjoyed this read.
In Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker, Author Marla Martenson mixes a little bit of insight about the matchmaking game together with a whole lot about her life. For the first quarter of the book it felt like the balance was leaning a little too heavily on Marla's life and not quite enough on her day to day work of connecting hearts. In fact, sometimes it felt more like I was reading Diary of a Beverly Hills Writer (who's a matchmaker to pay the rent).
However, once I got into the book and connected with Marla and her husband, her memoir became a lot more appealing. That was also when her balance between work life and home life seemed to even out.
This book is not hilarious, but it is an amusing look at one couple's life in Los Angeles. In the midst of a great deal of shallowness and superficiality, Marla and her husband definitely share a very real love, and that shines through her writing.
Although Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker at times felt like it had been written mainly to promote the author's two previous self-help books (but perhaps that was my somewhat cynical nature kicking into gear), it was still a quite enjoyable read. And without doubt, Marla definitely deserves high praise for having incredible tact and skill when dealing with some of her highly delusional, self-absorbed clients.
Although I've been busier than ever, once I started reading this book, I really could not stop. Marla Martenson is an extremely entertaining writer. Although I felt the urge to smack the faces of some of the men (and the women) Marla encountered while performing her matchmatching services, I became addicted to her well-written and enjoyable book. Who could ever imagine the audacity of an aging man to complain that a young woman's breasts are too small and her butt too big! On the other hand, I was saddened to see that little has changed with some women -- they don't try to make a success of their lives on their own, but instead, look for a wealthy man with a thick wallet to pay her bills and buy her trinkets. I wish this trait in some women would pass away from our culture. One of the joys of my life is my total independence and paying my own way for my entire adult life. There's a great satisfaction to being able to care for yourself, a satisfaction I wish all young women would embrace. I've been in love with men of few means and men with great means, and the $$$ never had one thing to do with the relationship. It's the quality of the man's character that draws me in... ANYHOW, Marla has written a really fine and entertaining book, and now I'm moving on to her other books. I recommend this book highly. Buy it, read it, enjoy the journey of a world I can little imagine. Thanks, Marla! American Chick in Saudi Arabia
