An Overdue Match by Sarah Monzon

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.

Poor and creepy premise that makes it seem like this girl doesn't understand the basic privacy inherent in a role as a librarian. Using borrowing history to matchmake without the patrons permission? Yuck. Would have dnfd earlier but I was on a plane and even a saltine is a feast in a desert.

3.5

I found the main character annoying and by the end was literally like come on lady just stop this is dumb. But it was a good book to listen to while crocheting a baby blanket and that's all it needed to be.
