Claire kann makes even mg good <3
also i loved that they were clearly setting up a poly triad, even if it was never explicit
Gosh this was such a cute read and I can absolutely see the reader for this! Yes, it's weird that 12 year olds (12/13? I lost track, sorry) are matchmakers, but whatever, who cares, if that age can save the world they can also make some love happen.
Started this book for a look at middle grade romance books. While this stars two matchmaking cousins, it was more fantasy than I was looking for at the moment. May check out again later.
WOWZA. This took me a minute to get started, but once I got through the setup, I was INVESTED. It does fill a romance gap for books and there’s a bit of fantasy here , too. The characters really grow and come into themselves by the end though and I like the message that love is not only platonic. My only beef is that all the couples are straight, but Liz mentioned that the author does dabble in aromantic/queer lit and this is only the first book, so we will see.
I want to pick this up again because I love Claire Kann’s writing. Right now, I’m slumping and want to focus on other books

I recieved a free eARC so I could read this book.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Rose and Cora are cousins, and are magical matchmakers in training, with the ability to see into the hearts of others, and help nudge them into a path that connects them with those who will love them, in this book, Rose and Cora each need to show that they are qualified to move on, and have a special set challenge. For Rose, it means finding someone for the prickly barista who won't let anyone in. For Cora, it's even harder,,,
This is a sweet, light read that will appeal to tween/teen girls who love the idea of romance and magic. While it's not a "change the world" book, it is a fun book that will make the reader smile. I am sure we will be hearing more of Rose and Cora in the future.

DNF because the target audience is waaaay younger than I realised and it’s not my jam right now.
But it’s fun and well written, probably would have finished if my library loan hadn’t expired before I remembered to come back to it.

A matchmaker’s paradise!
SuiteHearts: Harmony and Heartbreak by Claire Kann is the first in the Suitehearts Series and was a love filled match made in heaven. Rose and her cousin Cora are newly teenage matchlings. They are in the process of becoming matchmakers. They have to complete a task to become full matchmakers, but if they fail, they will have to wait a whole year to try again.
I loved that the two main characters, Rose and Cora were matchmakers in training. This gave them a very interesting problem or task to resolve. Although they had magic, they couldn’t access it to its fullest potential until they become full matchmakers. That allows them to push harder at fulfilling the task. On top of that, they are only thirteen. Not only are they dealing with trying to become matchmakers, but also everyday teen life. Between the magic, teen life, and just the struggle of being a teenage girl, this coming of age is magically amazing.
I’d highly recommend this to readers 11 and up. It can also be read with assistance to younger audiences.
I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.
