Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde

4.0

how i read 98% of this book without realizing it’s an Emma retelling is beyond me and, quite frankly, a humbling experience.

I absolutely adored Match Me If You Can! It was fun, flirty with a great amount of pining, a vibrant cast of characters and an amazing use of dual POV.

Jaiman was the perfect book boyfriend, while still being a real person with flaws and depth. Jia was a touch annoying (which makes sense, given the Emma retelling and Emma's overall low-key annoying traits) while still being a baddie with a clear vision and actual self worth (something I've found to be lacking with many FMCs so loved that).

This book was perfectly paced, such a blast and genuinely so much fun. I haven't read any books that are set in Mumbai, so I was enthralled with the culture and overall vibe of the setting. Overall: I adored this book. It is a wonderful debut from the author, Swati Hegde, and I am so looking forward to reading more of their work!

A huge thank you to Netgalley, Random House Publishing, and Swati Hegde for the ARC!
