Sweet and adorable. Normally, I am not a huge friends to lovers fan because it can feel forced or unrealistic, but not this book. It's swoony and cute, and I loved their relationship and banter. I liked how both of them struggled with the "should we or shouldn't we" aspect of changing their friendship into more.
The only part I struggled with in this book, is I think Reid gets over the issues dooming their relationship too quickly; it seems a little unrealistic. He is all gung-ho about never marrying or having children and then I understand why they needed a quick turnaround with Willow wanting to start the fertility treatments asap. So this might just be a "me" thing, but I just found it unrealistic that he was able to completely shift his convictions that quickly without therapy or any meaningful conversations, and it is the only reason I deducted a star.
However, the writing and the plot for the rest of the book was superb and worthy of 5 stars. A great read I recommend to anyone who loves friends to lovers.

Imperfect Match was a funny, cute, sweet and sexy read filled with great banter. I loved it. It had me sighing happily and swooning. I devoured it in a few hours. I loved Willow and Reid and the way there relationship transitioned from friends to lovers. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

A lighthearted and quick best friends to lovers story co-written by Corrine Michaels and Melanie Harlow. I loved the foundation of their friendship, how they lived just across the hall from one another (all the forced proximity) and how they always knew how the other was feeling without words. Now that I read all of Corrine's books, I definitely have to dive into Melanie's backlist.

Melanie and Corinne make beautiful books when they come together. I really loved the first half and the ending of this book. I did waver in my liking during part of the second half. When I closed this book, I was left with the happy feeling you get at the end of a good book. I can’t wait to read what they write next.
I voluntarily read an early copy.

When I first heard that this story was about a matchmaker, I was gone for it. The part of the book where Willow tries to find the perfect girl for Reid was my favourite, and the most hilarious! I am not usually a fan of friends-to-lover books, but this one felt so natural. Everyone should be envious of their friendship at the beginning, they know everything about each other, they almost live together, what better start for a love story?
This book made me laugh and smile so many times! Even though the story was not super elaborated, I really enjoyed it.

Willow and Reid are neighbors and best friends, purely platonic. Willow has pretty much accepted she won't find herself a perfect match and is planning on artificial insemination because she so dearly wants to be a mom. Meanwhile, Reid, thanks to the lack of parental figures in his life, doesn't believe in love or marriage and refuses to be a father, for fear of turning out like his own father. All is fine and dandy until the two realize they are indeed in love with the other. Which one is going to be making a sacrifice? The majority of the book is fun and light hearted, but there is that chunk that is filled with all the emotions. While these two characters are great in their own right, several of the side characters bring a little life (and comedic timing) into the book. The sexual content isn't too graphic. It is a fairly quick read. Story flows nicely. It alternates between POVs.
