If you are a fan of romantic comedies, this is one you will want to read. It's fast, clean and full of funny situations and sweet moments. This is the story of Greer and her best friend, a guy named Ri, who lives right next door. When a matching program is introduced in the singles ward, Greer is sure the matches she makes for her friends are better than the ones designed by the computer. Despite her strengths, Greer is also very insecure about her own worth. She likes to interfere with things around her but is too close to see what is more important. The threat of losing what she already has becomes the catalyst for her to realize that the alternative is much worse.I liked the character development of the main characters, they are flawed but they are also trying. The secondary characters add the right touch to the quirky cast and the quick pace keeps the story moving along. The witty humor is a constant throughout the book and the romantic situations were a delight to read, especially the very sweet ending. The religious theme is subtle and not the main focus, it just comes up naturally to what the characters do. All in all, it's a light read that will keep the reader engaged until the end. It's also appropriate for a YA audience.
