This was such a quick and read and so much fun. I loved it!! I think this would make such a nice Summer read.

Oh Rae! Her friends try to convince her she can find love and she's not so sure but that's before she gets tech-y. This is a light fun novel of a woman coming into her own as well as a romance.

Thanks for the opportunity to read and review Mr. Right-Swipe. I've struggled to get into it so far, so I won't be reviewing at this time. If I do get to it in the future, I will review at that time.

This was so much fun! Ricki's writing is fun and easy, making you feel like you really know the characters. I am so happy I had a chance to read and review this!

I found the female lead annoying and wanted to send her to therapy. The book and I were not friends and I just could not connect.

You guys! I can't tell you how excited I am to have Ms. Schultz on the blog today. I read her new novel - Mr. Right-Swipe and was filled with giggles throughout the book. It was funny and refreshing because it has an amazing take on modern dating. I, myself, have not tried the whole online dating that's all the rage these days. I've been married since I was nineteen! So, it's nice to live vicariously through a book. Weird? Maybe.
Rae is a *ray* of sunshine and smartassery. I liked her outlook on life, but what really made me love her, was the passion she had for teaching. My favorite part in the book surprsingly was when she read her class The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It may have seem like a small part in the book but to me, it really opened up my mind to the type of person she was.
The romance aspect and the dates were fun. It was so, so entertaining. If you're looking for something light, funny, and an all around good book, this one will not disappoint!
I'd also like to point out the interview down below. The last question about what book boyfriend Ms. Schultz would swipe right on...I just have to say, I agree. I would totally choose him too! Harry Potter nerd for the win!
Thank you so much Ricki for taking the time out and letting us know you a little better. I hope you have an amazing release day!

If you ever want me to be instantly attracted to a book, compare it to a movie that I liked. Bridesmaids and Trainwreck? Yes, please! I loved every snarky, sarcastic, and laugh out loud moments in Mr. Right-Swipe. Throughout the book Rae observes relationships in different stages. There is Rae's stage - the very beginning when you either swipe left or right depending on your mood that day. Then there are the stages her two friends are in - the committed, but not yet married and the married with kids. From the outside, she's able to see all the ups and downs in the various stages and she wants nothing more than to avoid it at all costs. The fact that her friends constantly push her to settling down frustrates her, but she can't say no. So, she goes with it and {reluctantly} dives in. What follows is a bunch of bumps and dumps as Rae wades her way through assholes and creeps until she finally finds a guy that makes it all worth it.

While it seemed like it took me forever to read Mr. Right-Swipe, I had a blast reading it. The author's writing was smooth and the plot had a good flow. There weren't moments that seemed too fast or slow. The characters were well developed, especially Rae. I felt her frustration jump off my Kindle. I did want a little bit more time with her and Nick, but I wouldn't change anything. Excellent debut for Ricki. She's an author to keep an eye on if you're a fan of women's fiction with romance, snark, and lots of laughs.

I am so happy to be able to recommend Ricki Shultz's novel, Mr. Right Swipe. What a fun escape read. I was thinking it would be a light chick lit story, but it was so much more. The characters are complex and layered with really clear voices and I so appreciated their maturity and believeability. The story itself is paced evenly, written well, and has sharp, witty dialogue. I never felt a disconnect between cgaracter and behavior or dialogue. I will definitely read more from Ricki Shultz!

Perfect Summer Read
Not only does Ricki Schultz write great characters and romance she throws humor into Mr. Right Swipe. She creates a story that will make you keep turning the pages because you have no idea what is coming next. I undeniably enjoyed this read. It was like I was with a group of friends and where are discussing the mishaps of dating. Perfect Summertime Read and I want More.

This book started out really good. I was finding my footing. There was comedic relief that had me laughing. So what went wrong? Well, if you strip away the jokes, I find myself not that intrigued to really get to know Rae better. Additionally, it seems that at times Rae and her friends are picking on the selection of guys. Although, don't get me wrong as a lot of them are losers. Yet, I am left with not a lot to hold onto with this book. In fact, I found myself walking away from it after nine chapters. I did come back to it with the intent to finishing this book but realized that I did not remember anything of what I had read in the first nine chapters. The next couple of chapters did not improve for me. Therefore, I put the book down for good.

Okay, I admit that I did not finish this book. I will also admit that this book was probably NOT geared towards anyone of my age, so I probably shouldn't be so harsh in my condemnation of it. However I found the premise to be smarmy, the language difficult to understand, the character's unlikable and the idea of it all to be cliched.
ARC

The plot and characters were fun and interesting, although rather predictable, but the constant slang was increasingly annoying. This was a fun book, but nothing spectacular.

Short and not always sweet, Ricki Shultz's debut is a light-hearted and snarky contemporary romance. There's no denying that Mr. Right-Swipe is culturally recognizable and fun fluff. It's enjoyable in the way of a chic flick on a Wednesday during summer. It's entertainment you can turn your brain off and just sink into. There's nothing revelatory going on in the way of its plot or narrative -- we all know where and how Mr. Right-Swipe will end by the time the love interest is introduced. The fun with this romance and these characters is in the getting there of the Happily Ever After.

Mr. Right-Swipe's Rae Wallace has been dating forever. She's been married, divorced, and lied to. Rae is #overit. Enter in two long-time best friends with reasons of their own for meddling in a singleton's lovelife and an obvious Tinder-standin and voila, you have the plot of Mr. Right-Swipe. Thanks to Rae's standards (surprisingly reasonable when she explains, see: bandshirts/intruments in profile pics.) and her strong voice it's often a funny read. Watching Rae try to relax and listen to her friends is basically watching Monica from Friends be breeezy. It's a bit too try-hard and a bit overacted but it makes for a good story.

It also must be said: there are too many #hashtags in the narrative.

I was very excited to start this book! Humour, a workplace romance and the woes of modern romance--it was calling to me!

Unfortunately, I think I am about 5 years too young to be reading this. While I could sympathize with Rae's frustrations at dating in this technological world (meeting people and relationships aren't like they used to be), I had a hard time understanding with her character.

She's quirky which is fine, but I often struggle with the humour of these leads and I definitely did here. I also though she was a little rude (I can overlook the fat shaming she does with one of her dates but that was the last straw and it made me not want to root for her). It doesn't help that Rae talks like a teenager either, dropping hashtags into her narration and lacking the maturity I would expect someone to have at her age. Maybe that's why she's still single?

As for the romance, this was very much a slow burn. And that would have worked supremely well for me if the plot wasn't moving so slowly otherwise. I found myself getting bored with Rae's "bad dates", flashbacks to her last boyfriend and just chilling with her friends. I needed a little more.

However, I think a lot of people will enjoy this book! If you enjoy a heroine who slowly finds herself, this is the perfect read for you. Or if you are a little tired of the dating scene while it seems like everyone around you is having babies and getting married, you'll more than likely connected with Rae in a way I never could.

A good story about friendship, love and life and the struggle to balance it all.

Rae is a bit snarky about life and a whole lot jaded about love. With the help of her friends she sets out into the world of app dating. Along the way she'll learn a lot about friendship, growing up and moving on.

In the beginning I struggled to like Rae because she was a bit to sarcastic for me (I know, I didn't think it was possible), but by the end I was totally cheering her on. Val and Quinn actually kind of annoyed me. The way they treated Rae was not cool. At least there was Nick. I loved hot sub guy!

Overall I enjoyed this story a lot. If you're looking for a light read that's not heavily focused on romance and/or angst I think this is a great option.

*I received an ARC from NetGalley for voluntary review

Mr. Right-Swipe is a funny take on dating by means of modern technology. Rae is a full of wit main character and she will take the readers on her hilarious adventure in the online dating world. She appears to be selfish at times, what with her issues with men, but it doesn’t mean you can’t relate to her. Aside from Rae, the supporting characters, such as Sarah, Rae’s friend at work, Valerie, Quinn and also Nick, are also fun to read. The easy banter between the characters will show what kind of relationship they have, and their friendships are like #squadgoals. Though, I am not so sold on the romance on this. I don’t really ship them, as they say. I didn’t see enough interaction between Nick and Rae to establish such strong connection. But that is just me.

I don’t like how Rae was so judgmental on the guys he saw and met on the online app. I know when you put up yourself online, you are subjecting yourself to scrutiny, but to judge people so easily like that is a bit off. Also, there’s too much hashtags and slangs. It started out cute but it gets tiring when every page you see it. I can understand if the main character is in her teens or early twenties, but she is clearly in her thirties. And though, throwing out those hashtags once in a while is okay, I haven’t met or seen anyone just yet who do that so often as Rae.

Despite all that, the plot for Mr. Right-Swipe is intriguing and I’d say the author delivered the story quite well. It is a romantic comedy but it mostly dwells on the blunder and convenience of an online dating world, and how a single woman deals with finding someone after her failed relationships. It also shows different relationship scenarios, the problems they go through and how the characters managed to fix it. I enjoyed reading Mr. Right-Swipe. It is a light and fun read that chick lit lovers will surely like. If you can ignore the hashtags and slang, that is.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Rae is on a journey to find her self and her friends are all to eager to help. Can she find "mr right" in time for her best friends wedding?
I will say this I like the main characters dog and I liked the ending in this book. I was not a fan of this book, but that being said it could be a good book for the right person. The bases of the books seems to be a group of friends who have known each other forever and wants whats best for each other. They set out to find one of them a man and the main characters doesn't seem to want to take it serious and she been there done that and is not in a hurry to go back. The women in the book are in there 30's but the way they talk and act they seem to be more in there early 20s. It was hard to take them or the story seriously at all. I found the jargon more or less annoy and they came off very immature and high schoolish. This book has adult language and scenes and is not suitable for all ages.

Unfortunately, this title didn't work for me. I wanted to like it, and it was funny...but the humor of it, at least for me, outweighed the emotion and I never felt a connection to the characters. I wanted to, and I did end up skimming and finishing the book, but I don't feel that this is a review I will be able to post on the blog, as I skimmed and didn't read the title.
