Thank you to NetGalley, Aisha Saeed, and Random House Publishing for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review (Unpaid).

The Matchmaker is an incredible story about family, work-life balance, and love (in all shapes and forms). The mystery had me on edge the entire time I was reading (and every time I had to set the book down), and while I caught the big twist pretty early, I still loved watching everything unravel.  The backstory about Nura's parents felt a little unnecessary since nothing came out of it.
