Match Me If You Can by Tiana Smith

4.0

This book grabbed me from the very first page. It was cute and funny, and in a lot of ways, very realistic for teenagers. There was a point late in the book when I was thinking how much drama the characters were adding to the whole thing, but I can't complain about a teen book having teens acting like teens. I do feel like Mia should have caught on to the fact that Vince was probably meant to be with her friend Elena, but sometimes teens are pretty self-absorbed and her not seeing past what she wanted and all the trauma that was happening to her totally makes sense. On the one hand, Logan was totally what people say about how the boys tease the girls they like and pick on them. But on the other hand, he was definitely so much fun and I don't know how Mia hadn't gotten any little inkling of interest in him before. I understand too when there is that perfect guy you're dreaming of, Vince, that it is often hard to see anyone else, especially if it seems like what you've been wishing for is finally coming true. I get helping her friend Robyn out, but in a way I hate that Robyn didn't tell Mia about the competition to try for. One thing I did wonder about though, with her dad having a way for her to get some journalism experience, wasn't there anything else to help her that way with her goals of becoming a journalist? I was a bit surprised her dad had never thought of that before. While I know it was teenagers and I mentioned before the extra drama is normal, I have to wonder if guys would be like Logan was at the end. Their pride and all that. Anyway, it was a page-turner, so hard to put it down, and another that I was lucky enough to have lots of extra time and almost read in a day!
