Summary (from the publisher):As the creator and CEO of the popular Jewish dating app J-Mate, matchmaker Dara Rabinowitz knows the formula for lasting love—at least, for everyone else. When it comes to her own love life, she’s been idling indefinitely. Until her beloved bubbe shares Dara’s checklist for “The Perfect Jewish Husband” on national television and charming news anchor Chris Steadfast proposes they turn Dara’s search into must-see TV.
As a non-Jewish single dad, Chris doesn’t check any of Dara’s boxes. But her hunt for Mr. Perfect is the ratings boost his show desperately needs. If only Chris could ignore his own pesky attraction to Dara—a task much easier said than done when Dara starts questioning if “perfect on paper” can compete with how hard she’s falling for Chris…
My Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
My Thoughts:
I loved reading Jean Meltzer’s debut, The Matzah Ball, last December, & so many of my book reviewer friends have loved her 2022 release, Mr. Perfect on Paper — and I am so happy to say that I am now one of them!
Set during the Jewish high holidays & Hanukkah, Mr. Perfect on Paper follows Jewish dating app creator, Dara, who gets so much media attention when her beloved grandmother describes Dara’s ideal man during a TV interview with Chris, a daytime news anchor. To help improve his show’s ratings and to satisfy Dara’s grandmother, the two team-up and create a mini series where Dara dates guys based on her list, with plenty of mishaps and some feelings between Dara & Chris involved.
