Mia's best friend Robyn is known for her matchmaking skills, which is perfect, because homecoming is just around the corner. But Robyn refuses to set Mia up with the guy of her dreams, which forces Mia to take matters into her own hands. She uses Robyn's matchmaking service to make sure popular Vince Demetrius falls for her.



Vince asks her out, but Mia doesn't count on Logan, the persistent school newspaper photographer who seems to like her out of the blue. Now she has to choose between Vince - the guy she knows is right for her - and Logan, who insists that she give him a chance. And she needs to make sure Robyn doesn't find out that Mia's been matchmaking behind her back.



Mia has two weeks before homecoming. Can she fix the mess she made or will she have to kiss her perfect match goodbye forever?

How have I not read this book earlier? It did not take me long to fall in love with this book. MATCH ME IF YOU CAN is everything that I love about Young Adult books. One of the reasons why I finished the book so fast, I couldn’t put down, I needed to see how it would end. I had a feeling when Mia responded to Vince’s email that something would go wrong, and I knew that Robyn wouldn’t be happy about when she found out and I had feeling that she would at some point. I saw from start that there was connection and attraction between Mia and Logan than there was between Mia and Vince, but Mia seemed stubborn about that there was something between her and Logan. It was awkward between Vince and Mia from the moment that Vince asked her out, and I feel as only reason he did was because of the email. When the two of them were hanging out, it seemed awkward, but at least Vince tried but Mia, it was as if she didn’t want to try from the moment that the two of them started dating. I feel as if Mia was more herself around Logan then she was when she was with Vince. In my opinion, she wasn’t being fair to either of them. I was hoping that she would figure out who she wanted to be with, before someone got hurt.



Elena, she was one character that I had conflicted feelings about. One minute I liked her and then she did something and then I didn’t like her as much. I liked her in beginning, up until she wrote that article about Mia. I know that she was jealous, but what she did because she was jealous was not okay. Then assuming Mia was lying afterwards. Their fighting got to the point where I wondered if the two of them would ever be friends again. I was glad when Elena finally apologize to Mia, I understand why she did it but I felt that she should talked to her about how she was feeling, not writing article about her and then picking fights with her. Of course I cannot help but wonder if their friendship would ever be the same again. There was a lot of drama in MATCH ME IF YOU CAN but that’s what I loved about it, there wasn’t a single chapter, page when it didn’t have your attention. Even as I reach the end of the book, I was still thinking about the story, the characters. All of the characters felt real to me and the story in general felt realistic to me.



I was rooting for Logan and Mia from beginning. From start it was clear that there was something between the two of them, and I hoped that Mia would realize that it was Logan that she belonged with. This book is filled with emotions and you will go through all the emotions that Mia went in this book, I did. Plus it’s inspiring, once I read it, it had me wanting to work on the book that I am writing. If you love young adult, romance with some drama, be sure to check out MATCH ME IF YOU CAN. I already have feeling that TIANA SMITH will be an author I will read for years to come, I am eager to read her next book already.



Breathtaking, beautifully written debut.
