Miss Match by Wendy Toliver

[description from Amazon]

Sasha Finnegan has always had a knack for setting people up, and at sixteen, she's turned her talent into an online business, molding high school crushes into true love. But Sasha finds her toughest match yet when hottie Derek Urban asks her to set him up with Sasha's gorgeous sister, Maddie. It's not that Derek isn't a good catch. In fact, after spending so much time with him, Sasha can't help but think he's perfect -- for her, that is. Can Sasha push her feelings aside for the sake of her business? Or has this miss finally found her match?

Review:

I've never read many of the Pulse RoComs- including this one, I've read three- but after reading this one, I think I need to read more. I'm not usually big on "cute" things, but after reading this, I may have to reconsider my stance on "cute" things.

This book was so adorable. I already knew what would happen in the end after reading the summary- it's a romantic comedy, those things are often predictable- but that didn't make me enjoy the book any less. I could relate so well to Sasha's concerns and insecurities, and I loved watching her get into bizarre Miss Match related situations, and then try to get out them.

I also loved some of the more uncommon traits some of the characters possess. (Well, uncommon compared to many other book characters) Sasha is concerned about her weight, but not to the point of being crazy obsessive about it, Sasha's dad's new girlfriend isn't evil, and Maddie, Sasha's sister, isn't a stereotypical mean cheerleader; she actually somewhat cares about her sister.

Miss Match is a super fun, super cute, super light, super great read. Recommended!

8/10

  3. This one sounds good. I haven't read RoComs in a looooooong time. Maybe I should get some from my library? Oh, wait I have enough books in my room already. Nevermind. Maybe later. I'll be sure to pick this one up though. Great review!
