Mr. Perfect on Paper

By: Jean Meltzer

Narrated by: Dara Rosenberg

From the author of The Matzah Ball comes a pitch-perfect romcom following a third-generation Jewish matchmaker who unwittingly finds her own search for love thrust into the spotlight...

The perfect Jewish husband should be:

• A doctor or lawyer (preferably a doctor)
• Baggage-free (no previous marriages, no children)
• And of course—he must be Jewish

As the creator and CEO of the popular Jewish dating app J-Mate, matchmaker Dara Rabinowitz knows the formula for lasting love—at least, for everyone else. When it comes to her own love life, she’s been idling indefinitely. Until her beloved bubbe shares Dara’s checklist for “The Perfect Jewish Husband” on national television and charming news anchor Chris Steadfast proposes they turn Dara’s search into must-see TV.

As a non-Jewish single dad, Chris doesn’t check any of Dara’s boxes. But her hunt for Mr. Perfect is the ratings boost his show desperately needs. If only Chris could ignore his own pesky attraction to Dara—a task much easier said than done when Dara starts questioning if “perfect on paper” can compete with how hard she’s falling for Chris…

"A warm, heartfelt ode to self-acceptance, honesty, and tight-knit Jewish communities…a true pleasure to read."—Olivia Dade, author of Spoiler Alert, on The Matzah Ball

Excellent!

I loved this book! I really enjoyed Chris and Dara's story. They were nice people, and I wish they were my friends. I loved Lacey, Chris's daughter, and Dara's bubbe, Miriam. This author writes the best bubbes. I enjoyed learning some things about Judaism that I didn't know.
I can't wait to read the next book from Jean Meltzer!

4.5 stars!

Really wish I could give 4.5 stars! I loved the narrator and the story was super cute, I wish there would have been an epilogue though.
How did it turn out for them? Did they get married? Did they have children?

Fun book

Really enjoyed this book. The character development kept me pinned every page I would recommend it to anybody class. The love story is universe.

Wholesome

This was such a wholesome read with themes of grief, religion, and family. I don’t usually read romance, but this really “converted” me!

Heartwarming

Such a cute story that, as a hopeless romantic, had me feeling all the feels. I particularly loved the MC’s devotion to her faith. It was inspiring!
Loved how the characters complemented each other and made both compromises and sacrifices for each other. Great read!
