I loved the characters - their banter, their depth, their hurts and joys and how beautifully the author brought them to life. From the start, I was laughing (I mean, how relatable is a book nerd stalking a dog-earer of pages, convinced they're a criminal :) Or justifying why she's a side character rather...Read MoreRead more about Loved this book.

than the heroine. So much fun. ), and while there were also times when I cried, I finished it with a big smile on my face. It was also really intriguing learning about alopecia and how it affects people. It was a disease I had a vague understanding of before but now feel as if I could relate better, especially having an autoimmune disease myself. That part of the story - the emotions and doubts and second-guessing that goes with that - was so well written.
I finished this one and instantly added book two to my TBR. Cannot wait. Absolutely beautiful writing, fun characters, brilliant banter, deep themes, and books?? My kind of perfection. Read LessRead less about Loved this book. Easy five stars.

to a small town where no one knows she wears a wig. She’s a romantic at heart and puts in motion a crazy plan to match-make library patrons according to their reading preferences.
Tai is a tattoo artist who has an undeserved bad boy reputation. A dare from his librarian cousin, who works with Evangeline, creates a fun and memorable library meet cute for him and Evangeline. Tai is intrigued by Evangeline, and she’s convinced that no one would love her if they knew about her alopecia.
It takes a while for Evangeline to believe that Tai is the real deal and his feelings are genuine. She has preconceived ideas and a lot of emotional baggage to process. I loved how Tai is patient with Evangeline and is uniquely qualified to understand and help her overcome past hurts. Their romance is sweet and I wanted to see how Evangeline and Tai would navigate various obstacles and discover they belong together.
There are many lighthearted romcom moments in the story and I totally related to the antics of Evangeline’s cat, Kitty Purry. It was interesting to learn more about the artistic side of Tai’s work and how it impacted his clients. I was glad to see Evangeline’s ex-fiancé reap some consequences before the story ended.
I recommend An Overdue Match to contemporary romance readers who like fun matchmaking romances with depth that explore health issues and include a relevant faith element in the story.
