Let's face it: even at $.99, some stories are overpriced. This definitely isn't one of them. I borrowed this one, and will buy my own copy once I'm done with this review. Matchmakers 2.0 is a sweet novelette (novella?) with likeable characters. (I'd say it's less a romance and more women's fiction, for those that make the distinction.)My chief complaint with the story is that there's no plot to speak of. Mick's friends want her to date, so she does which leads her to meeting a nice guy. The story ends abruptly - once Mick recognizes that she likes him, there's nothing more to be resolved. It's to Geary's credit that she had the confidence to keep the scale of the story manageable by not devising a larger plot beyond the boy-meets-girl. That might have overwhelmed some of the charm she displays so amply here.
