Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Random House, and Dell for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts <3

Match Me If You Can is friend to lovers gold! Jia and Jaiman have been friends forever, so they're not gonna let one little (meant: life changing) kiss get in the way. They want each other so bad! I freaking love it! I also like that their beliefs about matchmaking were completely different, but Jaiman still supported Jia's blog. 

The whole story is set in Mumbai, and I really got a feel for the city because of Swati Hedge's writing. I want Jaiman to make me a special matchmaking drink! I loved the various settings throughout the story, especially the pub. I'm a sucker for descriptions and Hedge certainly delivered. 

This is only her debut!!! Can't wait to see what comes next! If you like Jane Austen retellings, friends to lovers, and a good slow burn, I definitely recommend picking up Match Me If You Can. It's a quick, fun, romantic read!
