Firstly, I’d like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free e-arc of The Moment We Met.

The day Tiwanda Harris turns 30 marks a significant turning point. Tiwanda is now able to see her mother as an adult after receiving her late mother's notebook as a gift. Soon later, the aspiring businessperson is awarded a grant to help launch a tempting business prospect, but her sweet aspirations don't stop there. A dating app called Met has been provided to Tiwanda and claims to have four matches, one of whom is her soul mate. Tiwanda just needs to select "Yes" once.

She may not think she can fit romance into her life, but she has a choice. Tiwanda is shocked to see that perhaps there is some hope for the future there after all as the matches start to appear. But which of these may result in true love? Time will only tell. If she can just find the time.

Tiwanda is exhausted from pursuing so many goals, as her attention is split between starting her job, mending old family rifts, retaining friendships while forming new ones, and also attempting to open her heart to romantic love. But who can say? There may be a possibility for all those aspirations to come true if fate is on her side.

The plot seemed quite flat, despite how fantastic the blurb seems. I struggled to keep up since there were too many characters and storylines. The relationship is a major component of the plot even if it isn't the book's primary emphasis, however it was so underdeveloped.

I believe you will enjoy this book if you enjoyed The Love Hypothesis. I didn't necessarily love this one as much as I didn't enjoy The Love Hypothesis. The major characters, notably the love interest, are similar to Adam and Olive. Even if thematically, it resembles an Emily Henry novel, I still couldn’t get myself to love this book.
