More tightly written and thought out than her later and more recent novles. Yet, same type of vibe...

Loved the characters and the story line! Kept me interested until the last page.

I truly liked this book. It was a bit predicatable, but proved itself to be a good summer read. Nothing deep, but I was drawn to the story through the author's writing. Exactly what I was looking for in a vacation/summer read.

Tagged as a great beach read, disagree. Who wants to be mad at a girl for blindly being in an abusive relationship? And then cry buckets at a sad ending? Not me.

A good beach read. Easy and predictable. Even had me crying at the end.

I loved this book. It kept me up all night reading. It was sad, but still a very good read.

Vintage Hildebrand. This was a lovely story and although you knew heartache was pending, the author eased into a very emotional ending, which lingers with the reader. A wonderful read

It's an "ok" read, not elin's best book by far. Somewhat predictable. 3/5

I loved this book! It seemed a bit "frivolous" at times, however, as you get closer to the ending, it knocks you over! As another reviewer said, "I love books that make me cry." This was a real tear jerker!! Can't remember the last…

In THE MATCHMAKER, Hilderbrand returns to the elements that made her earlier books so special: a clear love for the people who live (as oppose to play) on Nantucket; food; family; and relationships and mistakes. A nearly perfect read.

What a great summer read. I love a book that makes me cry. And I really felt that I got to know the main characters. I highly recommend!

A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "Great descriptions of Nantucket, as are common in this author's books, but a complete tearjerker. Definitely keep tissue on hand!"

This is a wonderfully emotional story about lost love. I love Elin's books. This story is anything but predictable. Be prepared to cry and I mean really cry. I can't remember the last time a book made me cry like this. You will not be…
