A review by anna4
The Matchmaker's List by Sonya Lalli
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
No. No. No.
All I wanted to do is to throw this book at every character.
Is this about an almost 30year old grown ass woman (Raina) not being able to stand up to her grandma about having no interest in going on blind dates and getting married? Maybe.
Every time said almost 30year old woman tries to explain why there’s not going to be a second date with a guy from a list her grandma composed, the grandma either „snaps“ and shuts her grand daughter down or says that her granddaughter has very high expectations.
As she should have tbh.
The main and probably only reason why Raina even started to go on dates with those dudes is because her grandma wants to see her getting married as this will provide „status“. Raina is supposed to be this modern woman but apparently completely fails to make it understandable to her grandma that marriage isn’t needed for a woman (in 2019 Canada) like it used to be.
After 81 pages I was just left annoyed and confused and most of all frustrated.
