Match Me If You Can by Sandy Barker

4.0

3.5 ⭐️ Typically a 4 star book for me is one that I LOVED, but probably won’t reread. I loved aspects of this one, but I’m rating it down half a star because parts of it were a bit “skip worthy” IMO.

Falling for your matchmaker… such a fun, unique story. I loved Tristan and Poppy and it was so nice watching them go from strangers to friends to more. They didn’t start listing after each other right way, which is so often the case. Their relationship built organically as they got to know each other.

While I don’t mind a super slow burn (and often prefer it), there was quite a bit of plot/page time spent around Tristan and Poppy’s family, work and friend relationships. This was probably because this is the first in a series so there were a lot of other characters to introduce. I didn’t find these pages and relationships as interesting or necessary as the times where Poppy and Tristan spent time together. Honestly, their relationship could have used some more build up and it felt rushed at the end because too much time was spent elsewhere.
