The Matchmaker's List by Sonya LalliMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Synopsis:One devoted modern girl + a meddlesome, traditional grandmother = a heartwarming multicultural romantic comedy about finding love where you least expect it
Raina Anand may have finally given in to family pressure and agreed to let her grandmother play matchmaker, but that doesn't mean she has to like it--or that she has to play by the rules. Nani always took Raina's side when she tried to push past the traditional expectations of their tight-knit Indian-immigrant community, but now she's ambushing Raina with a list of suitable bachelors. Is it too much to ask for a little space? Besides, what Nani doesn't know won't hurt her...
As Raina's life spirals into a parade of Nani-approved bachelors and disastrous blind dates, she must find a way out of this modern-day arranged-marriage trap without shattering her beloved grandmother's dreams.
My Thoughts:
Raina's life is a disaster. Her family says she needs to be married and have kids to be happy. Her grandmother has a list of all the men she should date and to pick one to marry. But Raina is in love with someone else, who isn't around and never seems to commit to her. She also has a mother who has never been around for her. Then she lies to her grandmother and that lie tears her community apart. She has 2 best friends. 1 from work who she does confide in and one from her childhood who she doesn't confide in. Her lie may destroy everything and she needs to come clean. She should have sat down with her grandmother and her 2 best friends all throughout the book to come clean on her feelings and why. I liked the storyline but Raina I really wanted to slap upside the head and her grandmother was to pushy and needed to be told nicely what Raina wanted.
