Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
At first, things were slow and weren't catching my interest. I wasn't immediately drawn into the story. As I read more and saw more of Jia, she really started to frustrate me. I quit because I could see where the story was going and knew it'd be an annoying, unenjoyable ride to get there.
This reads like a modern version of Emma set in India. That could be fantastic if done well! Unfortunately, this story focuses and highlights all of Emma's worst qualities. When you combine that with a predictable plot and "best friends" who come off more as indifferent or annoyed forced friends, everything falls apart.
The synopsis promised a story that we didn't get. The cover is much cuter than any interaction between Jia and Jaiman. I'm incredibly disappointed -- I would've loved to read the story I thought this was.
I didn't see the point in continuing. I don't see myself recommending this one.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Dell, and the author for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.
