Four and a Half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒
Mr. Perfect on Paper by Jean Meltzer is a wonderful story about a lonely matchmaker, who is the CEO of a huge matchmaking service for the Jewish community. I enjoyed this book very much.
Dara Rabinowitz is the CEO, and creator of J-Mate, a very successful Jewish dating service. She comes from a long line of Jewish matchmakers, but she’s different as she uses science, algorithms, and technology for her matches, instead of instinct, as her grandmother, Miriam, always used.
She goes on a mid-morning news show called Good News New York that highlights good news. The host, Chris Steadfast, recently transferred from a hard news show in Virginia. He’s a single dad, and not Jewish. His producer invited Dara and her beloved bubbe, Miriam, to discuss generations of matchmakers as part of the good news program.
During the show, Dara is embarrassed when her bubbe shares her checklist for “The Perfect Jewish Husband” on air. She made that list years ago, and it was never supposed to be public. Chris is charmed by Dara and Miriam and proposes they do an on-air segment to search for Dara’s Perfect Jewish Husband. Knowing it would help her business as well as Chris’s ratings, Dara reluctantly agrees. Will Dara find The Perfect Jewish Husband? Or is Dara’s perfect match right in front of her the whole time?
This was fun and very enjoyable. I liked all the information on Jewish holidays and Jewish culture. I always learn so much from a Jean Meltzer book! Yet I never felt bombarded by the information as she sprinkles it throughout the book, without a big info dump. I enjoyed Dara’s dedication to her religion and culture and admired her reluctance to compromise.
The romance was a slow burn romance and I couldn’t figure out how they would be able to resolve their differences. That’s my favorite kind of romance when I can’t figure out how they will eventually get together. Chris is an absolute sweetheart, and such a wonderful dad to his 11-year-old daughter, Lacey. He is patient with Dara and understands her anxiety issues as well.
I recommend Mr. Perfect on Paper to anyone who enjoys romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
