A perfect fluffy beach read.

Nice quirky characters, familiar rom-com plot, enjoyable banter. 99% wholesome.

Oh gosh but this rom com was SO CUTE. It felt like a mash up between “Hitch” and “You’ve Got Mail.” The main characters were darkly funny, rather anti-social and fighting over the same coffee table in their favorite NYC coffee bar where they both wanted to sit during the day and pretend to be other people for work as ghostwriters who worked on dating sites chatting and making profiles for people who aren’t good at small talk.

The dialogue is SO FUNNY. And the scenes where these two literally melt down over three-day old free biscotti and can’t seem to pull themselves together and be the adult in the situation (either of them) are so comedic and perfectly timed. I loved the barista! When Miles and Zoey are both assigned to ghostwrite profiles (basically chat with each other pretending to be the other’s matches), things get hilarious. Their clients may be slow to warm to each other at first, requiring some even more intense pseudo-flirting, but between date stakeouts, some YUMMY food descriptions and a lot of I hate you but really I don’t, these two were completely cute together. Will definitely be waiting to see what this author duo pens next.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. (

Zoey and Miles work for different dating match services. Their jobs are to coach a person to a match (like Will Smith in the movie Hitch). They work out of the same coffee shop, but neither knows what the other does for work. They also don't like each other. Miles is coming off a bad breakup and Zoey hates New York City.
As others have noted, the book is a bit slow but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There's a lot of references to pop culture (I had to look up some mentions) and the characters are mostly fun and interesting. Evelynn needs her own book. Zoey and Miles are a good match though it's a very slow burn romance. I liked the alternate POVs a lot as it gave both sides of their attraction. Fun read. (

I picked this up because of the cute premise of two different people ghost writing client profiles while working for two different online dating sites. Miles and Zoey connect better than two of their clients online and then of course, accidentally become nemeses in real life. Staking out the prime coffee shop table for days' work becomes an Olympic event for the two of them. It was a cute story, a fun spin on things like You've Got Mail, Cyrano de Bergerac and fandom. (
