I'm not really sure where the title comes from because I didn't recognize any wrong matches throughout the storyline. As the synopsis (I hate accidentally providing spoilers) mentions the female lead has a crush on her best friend's brother. Maybe the fact that she feels the brother is forbidden territory is why it's a wrong match, however the interactions and overall arching romance definitely felt right the entire way.

There were a lot of characters and development throughout the entire story and I truly feel that the author could write a sequel, turning this into a series, with each couple being featured. I really enjoyed the small town connection where everyone seems to know everyone's business.

The only part of the entire book that I did not like, was switching back and forth between point of views. While both narrators of the audiobook were really good I felt it was a little awkward because it wasn't every other chapter and sometimes it was two chapters and then one chapter.

A cute, sweet, and sometimes funny little romance. It did feel like he fell for her pretty quickly once all the secrets came out but they did basically online date before then so I guess I can buy it.

🌀Synopsis

Luke happens to be part of said event and gets volunteered to help Daisy. The two of them are raising money to save the community center. As they spend more time with each other their attraction grows. Turns out they had been talking on the app and the message that got Daisy in trouble was only intended for Luke.
They start a cute little romance until Luke’s ex shows up. He’s determined that Daisy is the one though and willing to prove it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ALC of this book.

This book book is quick, fun, light and sweet. I came from reading a romance book that felt like it dragged. When everything was happening here and so quickly I was relieved.

There's female friendships, which I always appreciate in a romance (sometimes the FMCs can get too wrapped up into the love interest) and there's communication. From the MMC no less - which feels doesn't happen often. There's one little blip that could be misconstrued as miscommunication, but not in the sense that I would consider it a major trope.

There's no spice. In fact, the FMC refers to "passionately making out" as something inappropriate, which was I think a bit much. But if that's what you're looking for in your romance. Go for it.

That being said - i think this would make for a good romance book in middle school and high schools, even though it's not "YA," but vary tame.

Also - they said the thing "The Right Wrong Match." I've learned to embrace when the name of the book finds it's way in the book itself. It's so cheesy and I have fun with it.

Oh my goodness this book was so adorable I squealed. If you’re looking for a quick and super cute read, check this out!

Daisy is on a mission to go through romance tropes until she finds the one and Luke is her best friend's older brother, who got dumped on his wedding day and is her childhood crush.
Both Daisy and Luke are on a dating app disguised with other names, not knowing that they've been talking to each other.

I didn't like the trope list aspect of the story it felt a bit corny for my taste, but besides that Luke and daisy's love story was cute and overall book was lighthearted and enjoyable
I loved the audiobook and the narration made it a fun listen.

I'll say it. I really did try with this one but the audiobook narrator wasn't for me.

Thank you so much netgalley for the audiobook version of this book.

The Right Wrong Match is a delightful romance novel that will have you smiling while reading it. The storyline is original and the characters are sweet. The story is told with a dual POV and both of them are pleasant and interesting. I listened to this book and the narration was awesome. The beginning starts out really strong and tapers off a bit, it is still a good story but definitely has a stronger start than finish. The MC Daisy is quirky and fun and has a good sense of humor. Daisy’s love interest is a slightly grumpy sweetheart who is a great guy. The supporting characters are likable and the story has a great flow. 4 solid stars.

The Right Wrong Match is the second full-length novel in the Love in Mirror Valley series. In each novel, one couple finds their way to love, so they seem to be okay to read as standalones. I did not read the first novel nor the novella and understood everything without issue. This story contains the usual grumpy/sunshine trope along with the crush on your friend’s brother but does it in a way that keeps you interested. The story begins with Daisy and Luke attending Ivy and James’ (from the first novel), wedding. After deciding to move on from her secret crush on Luke, Daisy jumps into the dating world and through a series of events, she ends up planning a singles event for the town. The event ends up being a great way to raise funds for the failing community center and soon Luke ends up assisting. This sets up the two characters spending more time together.

For me, there was nothing super ground-breaking for the relationship build-up in this novel, but it was still sweet and worth the read. Daisy is an outgoing people pleaser as she does tons of jobs around the town while Luke is the jaded talk of the town who has a complicated past with his ex, Eleanor. The dating app part of the story was a great way to bring the characters together in a forced proximity-type situation. While the two may be connected at the start of the novel, the app helped the two of them spend time together, which helped build their relationship. While I felt their connection was genuine, I did not feel that intense attraction that I was expecting. It was still there, but I felt it needed to be a bit more where I could believe they would potentially make that leap from friends to romance.

The story is a very cozy romance where it is simple in nature, but perfect to warm your heart. The characters in the story have a great logical way of thinking as it is not a simple transition for either of them to freely admit their feelings. There are multiple factors involved and I like how they were aware of them. Since Luke has a past with Eleanor a year ago, it would have been nice to have a little more elaboration on this just to give a little more feeling. The same can be said for some of the other gaps in the story as it would help readers feel the characters become more well-rounded. It was a sweet read and I look forward to not only going back and trying the first novel, but to reading the third when it becomes available.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to read this enjoyable novel. The opinions expressed are completely my own.**

Thank you to the author, narrators, publisher, and Net Galley for providing a free e-audio version of this book in exchange for my review.

This was a cute rom-com-ish story set in a small town. While I didn't feel close to or identify with any of the characters, and at times they felt a bit flat, overall I enjoyed the story and was happy for the characters at the end of the book. I believe this is book 2 in a series, but I read it as a stand alone and I think it worked well. I would consider another book by this author.

I would recommend this for anyone who likes light, rom-com style books.

Book 2 in the Love In Mirror Valley series. Works as a stand alone. Clean romance.

Daisy has been in love with her best friend's brother, Luke, for most of her life. He was in a committed relationship for virtually his entire adulthood. A year after he was left at the alter, he is thinking about dating again. He uses a new app. When his match, Cece wants to meet, he is shocked to find it is Daisy. She doesn't know he is Aaron though.

When I finished this book, I was "it was cute and I liked both characters". Which is true. When I went to write this review 15 minutes later and started thinking about the book, I realized that nothing really happened. It is supposed to be a romance, but there is virtually no romance (even for a clean book). I have a feeling that if you ask me about this next week, I will remember none of it.

The audiobook has dual narrators for the two POVs. Justis Bolding narrates for Daisy. I was frustrated with the Daisy chapters because she takes a lot of pauses- it is hard to speed up too much because it isn't the actual speech that is slow. David Bendena did a good job. No complaints there.

I received an audio copy in exchange for an honest review.

Daisy is a hopeless romantic and Luke is very much not after he was left at the alter by his longtime girlfriend. Daisy accidentally messages all the guys she has matched with on the dating app and calls Luke for help on managing the night when she turns it into a singles event and tries to set all the single ladies in her town up. As the story goes on, they spend lots of more time with each other and start to recognize the feelings they both have.

I loved this story and thought that the dating app was a cute addition. I love sunshine/grumpy troupes so this was perfect. It was a clean romance with no spice, but I loved that for their story.

First of all...I will never understand the boldness of some people. How in the world do you think that you can just ghost someone on your wedding day and then just show back up a year later acting like the person you left behind OWES you their time? How about friggin' no!

I did not know that this was a series when I requested The Right Wrong Match from NetGalley but thankfully it's a series that can be read stand alone. This is a BFF older brother, friends to lovers, and grumpy/sunshine and these are three of my favorite things. Luke and Daisy are ADORABLE!

The internet says Sara Jane Woodley is a YA Sweet Romance author but I'd call this more Clean Romance than YA. The characters are solidly adults.

I liked this book. It’s the second in a series but I didn’t read the first one. You get plenty of context and explanations from the story to know what you need to know. It’s a very low spice, slow burn, grumpy sunshine romance. I enjoyed Daisy a lot. She was fun and funny. Luke was ok but honestly he’s not nearly good enough for her. Lol. But overall it is a Hallmark-esque small town sweet romance.

The narrators were really good, they both did a really nice job.

Such a sweet, fun read.

I didn't read book 1 (yet!) but still very much enjoyed this. I love a sibling's best friend story.

Daisy and Luke were cute and fun. Definitely some grumpy/sunshine. I liked their long history.
And how they slowly slid into dating/relationship after her injury.

The fun little dating app stuff was a nice bonus.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC in exchange for my honest review.

In the Love in Mirror Valley series, the second book titled "The Right Wrong Match" features Daisy and Luke as the main characters. Their love story is a heartwarming and romantic tale of two people who have always been in close proximity to each other, but their timing was never right.

However, they have now reached a point where they can finally make things work between them. And just in time, as Daisy was about to give up on what she thought was an unrequited crush. Because even when his engagement ended, Luke avoided dating and being set up with anyone.

Nonetheless, it seems that fate has finally intervened, and Daisy and Luke may have a chance at a happily ever after. What we get is this sweet, feel-good romance with maybe a few too many tropes in my opinion, but that’s just me.

I listened The Right Wrong Match as an audiobook, and I liked both narrators.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for providing me with an audio ARC of The Right Wrong Match by Sara Jane Woodley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute, clean romance. It is an enjoyable best-friend’s-brother romance in a small town. I enjoyed the storytelling and plot and really loved the ensemble. Overall, I think the relationship was portrayed as being too perfect and the main characters just had flawless (in a forced way) communication and chemistry. I enjoyed their story, but I knew how it was going to go way before the author got there. So much foreshadowing took place that I was just waiting for when the author would reveal the plot twist as opposed to what the plot twist was. Overall, a nice read, but as the book constantly says “curses” for just being too forced. 3.75⭐️, 0.5🌶

I read this book awhile ago and when I saw the audiobook I had to listen to it! The narrators do a fantastic job capturing the personality of the characters and add depth to the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Small town, best friend’s brother, 2nd in series

Kissing on page, otherwise clean; sex was never inferred

After not loving the first book in this series, I was actually excited for Daisy and Luke’s story. Unfortunately, I was disappointed again. There is so much “conflict” that isn’t actually conflict. I had no emotional connection to the characters, and I didn’t feel any chemistry between them. Everything felt resolved at around the 70% mark, but there was still 2 hours left in the audiobook. I probably would have DNF’d this at 75% if I didn’t need to write this review. At 60% I sped the audio up to 1.25x, and at 75% I sped it up again to 1.5x. Really just wanted it to be over.

Also noticed an editing oversight that pulled me out of the story. “Luke’s voice startled me out of my thoughts and I peek up at him. I’m laying on top of him on my couch, my back to his front and our legs tangled together.” “…his heartbeat against my cheek.” Who lays back to front on top of someone? On your sides? Definitely. Not on top of each other. And by the context you can tell the author meant front to front.

Definitely underwhelmed by this book and have no intention of continuing the series.

Thank you netgalley, dreamscape Media, publisher and the author for the #gifted ALC in exchange for my honest review. I loved this closed door romance childhood crush, best friends older rother and forced proximity. The narration was done so well kept me engaged with the story and highly recommend it to romance readers.

My only small issue is that it would be nice for it mention book 2 in series.

This is a book of romance book clichés teeming with romance book clichés. If you're okay with Gilmore Girls without the daughter, but Lorelay and Luke on steroids, this is your book, if not, better stay away.

Daisy has recently decided that she will find the love of her life by trying out all the dates known from rom/coms and romance novels - rivals at work, enemies, blind dates, neighbors, travel companions... She can strike off the blind date from her list now and she has already tried some other things, but he still has hope.
Luke's long-term partner ran away the night before the wedding, and since then he's been bombarded with phone numbers and names so he can get over it quickly. But Luke doesn't want someone new, he doesn't want to make himself vulnerable again. And when he talks to someone new, the conversation quickly turns to the fact that accounting is a boring job, how can you do it.

Daisy's sister Dee is involved with a new dating app and has recruited her as a test subject. Luke's friends have forced him to join a dating app. Neither of them is there with their own name and their own face, but they have gotten together and started talking and the conversation is flowing.

It's such a story that when I listened to it on a walk, I was glad that I had a puff over my nose because of the wind and no one was walking nearby, because every little while I wanted to scream, because this story is sooooo stupid and sooo bad, that if I had a paper book in my hand, it would have flown across the room quite a few times.
