Julia loves matchmaking. Her first success happened with two teachers at her eighth birthday party. Unfortunately that was her last success too and now her friends tremble with fear when she gets a new match in mind. Because she is so unrelentingly optimistic (everything in her life is pretty perfect - beautiful husband, beautiful daughter, beautiful face) she can't understand why people would ever give up on the idea of finding love.When Sylvia moves in next door, Julia can sense she's never been kissed - not really, leg-tremblingly kissed. In fact Sylvia only ever gets crushes on totally unavailable men, such as the handsome priest from her church. But Julia knows the perfect man for her - socially awkward but cute work colleague Ted. So why is everyone telling her to stop playing God?M C Lesh clearly understands love. She balances super confident Julia with painfully shy Sylvia perfectly so we can really see how love affects its victims. All the other characters in Julia's life - from Alpha female Lisa to patient husband Javier, are all strong personalities and it is they who make this book a real pleasure to read. If you like to know how romance makes people tick, this is the book for you.Reviewed by Nikki Mason on behalf of BestChickLit.com
