New Adult | Coming of Age | Romance Chick-Lit
In the tradition of Good in Bed and The
Assistants comes a funny and smart comedy about a young
matchmaker balancing her messy personal life and the demands
of her eccentric clients. Sasha Goldberg has a lot going for her: a recent journalism
degree from NYU, an apartment with her best friend Caroline,
and a relationship that would be amazing if her finance-bro
boyfriend Jonathan would ever look up from his BlackBerry.
But when her dream career falls through, she uses her
family’s darkest secret to land a job as a matchmaker for
New York City’s elite at the dating service Bliss. Despite her inexperience, Sasha throws herself into her new
career, trolling for catches on Tinder, coaching her clients
through rejection, and dishing out dating advice to people
twice her age. She sets up a TV exec who wanted kids five
years ago, a forty-year-old baseball-loving virgin, and a
consultant with a rigorous five-page checklist for her ideal
match. Sasha hopes to find her clients The One, like she did. But
when Jonathan betrays her, she spirals out of control—and
right into the arms of a writer with a charming Southern
drawl, who she had previously set up with one of her
clients. He’s strictly off-limits, but with her relationship
on the rocks, all bets are off. Fresh, sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny, Playing with
Matches is the addictive story about dating in today’s
swipe-heavy society, and a young woman trying to find her
own place in the world.
