Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde
3.75
funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A really sweet easy read! This book was set in Mumbai which was a nice change compared to a typical rom-com, although I often forgot it wasn't set in the US or something tbh, but I love Bollywood movies so I did enjoy all the Indian references.

Jia is the main character and she works at a magazine but runs a secret blog and dreams of becoming a matchmaker. She's in love with her family friend and he feels the same but neither will admit it until near the end of the book, it's definitely a slow burn but not in a frustrating way like is sometimes the case. 

There were a lot of sweet moments and funny banter, I loved the side characters too and would definitely enjoy it if the author decided to write a book for one of them. Either way I'll definitely be looking to see what she does next.

Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy!
