As someone who has been on my fair share of disastrous online dates, I felt like I had found a literary kindred spirit in Sophia. She is funny, caring and down to earth, and I really enjoyed getting to know her. I loved the way that even when it was difficult, she never forgot her roots. The supporting characters are also a joy to spend time with: from Lyn, the eccentric old lady who Sophia does shopping for, and her son, Tom, to Sandra, her quirky colleague with a love of knitting, and Ted, her boss with a chronic case of dandruff. I quickly became immersed in their lives and wanted them all to be happy.
When Sophia's ideal multi-millionaire comes along, she is whisked into a world of opera, exclusive restaurants and luxury apartments. It's a far cry from what Sophia (or I!) am used to, but I loved being part of it, imagining the delicious food and beautiful views.
May uses Perfect Match to explore some interesting themes, which are very relevant to modern society. The topics include coming out, controlling behaviour and self-esteem. I was pleased to see Sophia learn some valuable life lessons as the plot developed, and finished the book with a fuzzy feeling inside.

Finding the perfect match is not easy for a lot of people. This is something Sophia has been having a great deal of problems with as well.  But why? Has she been looking in the wrong places or has she been focussing on the wrong things?

Of course you are always rating the looks of the person in front of you first and when there is not that zing straight away you often discard him/her almost as soon as you lay eyes on them. 

Is this the right approach? Or you better off with a beautiful empty box or with a more plain looking one filled with heaps of things you dream of but you don't take the time to unpack? They say 'Don't judge a book by it's cover'. I think this does apply to more matters than books alone. 

This story is about learning about yourself and changing your views on your future. It's romantic, funny and a bit sad at the same time. The author has a lovely writing style that makes you fly through the story.

I really loved it and I am looking forward to read more books by this wonderful author. 5 stars.

Thank you, Zoe May and RachelsRandomResources.

This is so much more than your average rom-com. It truly has a heartwarming tale of life in amongst the pages. Sophia is on around 10 dating sites. To date , to coin a phrase she has had geeks, misfits and anything but what she is looking for and she really isn’t that fussy.just normal would be good. Her last date wasa “noodle nerd” who bored her to tears over  a meal, of , you guessed it noodles. Her friend Kate suggests that she join another site- Dream dates, so for a laugh she put on a ridiculous profile for what she is asking. When the dream man actually appears Sophia is a little suspicious but has the time of her life. Not only does he look like Robert Pattinson but is a multi millionaire as well. Both of these qualities  were on her profile of must haves albeit tongue in cheek. She keeps seeing things about scammers and catfish being around on dating sites and does wonder if Daniel has a hidden agenda. He lives in the Shard. She is soooo impressed and he treats her well and other than buying some rather sexy lingerie and short skirts  which unsettle her a little, he appears to be a normal red blooded male. I loved this and winced and smiled at some of the things Sophia went through. Her kind and generous heart and eventually seeing the light (I won’t spoil anything ) along with her friendship of Lyn and Tom. A book that made me reflect a little. A book that perhaps makes you realise life is for living and not saving your best for a rainy day. A fun read, a memorable read. One to make you smile.

You know they say 'be careful what you wish for'? Sophia isn't at all careful, but she does apparently get her wish. 

This story is funny, yet quite profound in the end, and the message it carries is relatable. I surged ahead with the book, and although I got the ending I expected (it's romance, so of course I did) there were a few things which happened along the way that I didn't anticipate. I really enjoyed sharing Sophia's journey with her and loved the way her character grew and developed throughout the book. Ms May's writing style is lively and quick, and a pleasure to read.

Perfect Match is lighthearted and fun chic lit with a premise that feels like it should be the plot of a rom-com movie.

Hysterically funny story of a woman trying to find the "perfect" guy as she thinks of him.  Especially after disastrous dates with guys who were not "the one".  Definitely thinking this should be a Lifetime or Hallmark RomCom movie!  I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I had never heard of Zoe May but the blurb of this book was too cute and too intriguing for me to not pick it up. And I'm very glad that I did because this was such a fun and engaging story to read. This is the perfect book if you want something light and entertaining.

This was a very funny read which had me desperate to keep reading. A great read for ladies looking to lose themselves for a few hours in a book.

DNF.

This main character and beginning was just a little too silly for me. It didn't feel like she was actually 28.

This is an absolute GEM for anybody who loves a good Chick-Lit!

I could not put this book down and found Zoe's writing so authentic and warm. 

Sophia Jones is unlucky in love but as lucky may have it, she may just have finally found her perfect match!

Sophia is a wonderful protagonist and had me laughing out loud multiple times throughout the novel.

Not only is it full of fun and laugh out loud moments, it is also incredibly moving. 

It's everything I look for in a chick-lit and more!! I couldn't recommend enough!

Reading books like this one always help to give me a break from the more serious books I read and they are so refreshing. 
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and I’m so glad I did. 
This was a light romantic comedy geared towards modern online dating. Some of those dating one liners were hilarious and so relatable. I really enjoyed Sophia’s character and you get to see her evolve over time and really mature. Her entourage of friends and dates stole the show, especially the ferret guy. References to him always made me chuckle. 
Nice, refreshing little romantic comedy that one can easily breeze through in no time. I’d recommend and would read more from this author

I enjoyed this book, didn't take me long to read with laugh out loud moments. I was weary of Daniel and his intentions, I did wonder if he was doing it for a dare or something but felt sorry for Sophia when he didn't want to know about her life and where she lived. I was surprised Sophia and Chris ended up together and I loved Sandra's character with her hamster! I'd look out for Zoe's next book. Thank you for letting me read and review this book, would recommend it.

I enjoyed this book but I wish I would have been able to connect more with the two main characters.

Easy Entertaining read! I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Hi Readers,

I’ve just finished another contemporary book called Perfect Match by Zoe May, and I enjoyed it. 

3 Stars!

The story follows Sophia, who lives with her best friend Kate. At the beginning of the book, Kate sets Sophia up on a dating website with a fake profile, because she can’t seem to find a date who’s worth it. Sophia has had 71 dates, all of which haven’t worked out for one reason or another. She gets a lot of responses to the fake profile but one sticks out, among the rest. The response is from a guy called Daniel. Sophia thinks she’s found her “perfect match” but has she? You’ll have to read to find out! 

I would say it’s more for over 18 year olds as there are a couple of sex scenes and some bad language involved. 

I’m not including a spoiler section (apart from the brief summary, I’ve given above) because at the beginning of the arc it says that I’m not allowed to reproduce, transmit or store any information from it. 

What did I like about “Perfect Match”?

I liked the characters. Sophia seemed very human, as did Daniel. 

I liked how the novel is a standalone - I know, shocker! It just seemed to wrap up nicely,  🙂.

What didn’t I like about “Perfect Match”?

I didn’t think “Perfect Match” was “a laugh out loud, romantic comedy” as it claimed to be at the start. I don’t think I laughed, once. It was entertaining but not funny. 

The novel dragged in a few places. I thought some of the scenes could have been made a lot shorter. 

I thought it was kind of predictable what happens at the end.

Overall, I didn’t hate “Perfect Match” but I didn’t love it either. It was a light hearted story that I found entertaining, rather than groundbreaking. That’s why I’m giving it a 3 star rating!

True to it's title! It was my perfect valentine read....I am little late in posting this but loved the book! it took little longer to finish (due to holiday). Characters are fun and gripping!

This is a great romantic comedy about the dating trouble in today's world. Sophie has been on so many dates an all of them are fail. She has researched all the "right ways" to write an online dating profile but no one can live up to her expectations. She decides to throw all of her research out the window and sarcastically list the characteristics of her dream man. What will she do when she meets her Perfect Match. Will it be everything she hoped for? 

I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me on my favorite author Sophie Kinsella and reminded me of the book The Rosie Project as they both are searching for the perfect person and learning what is really important in a relationship. 

I highly recommend this book.

Perfect Match was a quick, light-hearted read. I enjoyed it and would read another book by the author. 

The main character, Sophia, was very entertaining as she scoured the internet dating sites for her Mr. Right. Needless to say, it didn't go so smoothly. I found the story to flow well and it definitely kept my interest.

The premise of the book sounded really great, but for some reason, the book didn't grab me. I had to start at the beginning several times because I couldn't really get into it. Maybe this just wasn't for me, but it could be great for someone else.

This was a fun and very quick read. I did have a difficult time connecting with the main character, Sophia. She was so particular about every guy she dated, never giving second chances or trying to work at anything. She thought that it would just be love at first sight. That is what she wanted. As he book went on though, I grew to like her as she realized that what she wanted was a fantasy, and the reality of love was actually so much better.

Her goofy bunch of friends were a great side act. I especially liked Lyn and her son Tom. They were so loving and real. Sophia had a wonderful support system, even though her family was out of the country for the majority of the novel.

I would definitely recommend this book to all romance fans. It is a great beach read or escape novel. Lots of fun here!
