Book Description

Publication Date: 3 Jun 2002
For drama teacher Kathryn Lamb, being thirty-five and single means an endless run on the dating wheel. Everyone from her happily married sister to her meddling neighbor thinks it’s time for Kitty to take drastic action to find herself a wonderful man. So she enrolls in New York’s premier matchmaking service, which guarantees five potential mates or her money back. And if Walker Hart, the gorgeous entrepreneur of the company, is any example of the men who will be parading to her apartment, then Kitty will definitely be a satisfied customer.

But as each promising encounter turns into a disaster, Kitty realizes that the only guy who has captured her romantic heart is the one who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Sexy and sassy, Miss Match is a hilarious first novel that delves into the anxieties of the mating game, where every now and then one has to bend the rules. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Insightful, Smart and Funny! 14 Aug 2002
By "royanab" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am not a reader of this genre in particular, but I saw this book and it seemed different from the standard "romance". Which it is. I found this book to be a delightful read. It's hilarious (i.e. the VFA - Very Famous Actor- chapter is hysterical. And I live in LA, I should know!) and really intelligent. Not many authors can successfully get away with lines from "Taming of the Shrew" in a lighthearted comedic bok. But Ms. Carroll does it. And very well. I have already recommended this to many of my friends who will get a kick out of the many bad dates (haven't we all dated a Glen?). GET THIS BOOK! It's the perfect summer read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like A Movie in My Mind 28 Mar 2002
By RavenclawAlumni - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Wow, what fun...I couldn't put this book down! Now, let's be realistic-I'm not saying that I couldn't put it down because I thought it was an important novel that will now belong to the Ages...I just couldn't put it down because it was just so breezy and fun. I'd liken it to having a good, witty friend telling you all about her misadventures in the dating world over a pint or two of Haagan Dazs. I swear, I could picture the entire story and characters immediately jumping out of the book and onto a movie screen...it was like having my own, personal Nora Ephron movie playing in my head. Each and every one of Kitty's dates was like a little novella within a novel; as they unfolded I kept holding my breath wondering how they would (inevitably) end in disaster. I also appreciated how we also get to see the perspective from the man's point of view as well-rare in a "Chick" book...and even rarer still is the fact that he isn't portrayed as an ignorant Neanderthal; just a good guy with flaws.

Again-let me be clear: DON'T do your doctoral disseratation on this work, DO take it with you to the beach this summer. I also suspect it will get a lot of single girls (and guys) through some long, lonely Saturday nights (along with the aforementioned Haagan Dazs). I won't be suprised if I wind up reviewing the movie version of this story on DVD/VHS here on Amazon in a year or two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated banter makes this one refreshing 2 Jun 2005
By Tracy Vest - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Miss Match" is a funny romantic comedy about the lengths some people will go to find a significant other. Kitty has just been dumped by her fiance who'd rather look in the mirror than at her. She reluctantly signs up for a dating service owned by her neighbor after much cajoling, and feels an immediate connection to the person running the agency, Walker Hart (the owners millionaire son).

Walker is also intrigued by her, but because of the many, many marriages of his eccentric mother, he doesn't believe in a happily ever after that includes in matrimony. True to his commitment to his new client, he sets her up on five dates. He has conveniently ensconced himself in her apartment when his roof leaks due to a storm. Sure he could have gone to a hotel, but instead he crashes with her.

Each is a disaster in its own right - whether she is fending off the advances of a married man, or mistaken as a hooker; at the end of each date, Walker is there to lend an ear. Feeling guilty about one date, he offers a sixth date free.

He has a strong attraction to her, and the story never makes it clear if he's purposely picking all the wrong men for her. I loved his klutzyness too. He was always banging into stuff and breaking things. The story is chock full of sophisticated banter, show tunes, and literary quotes, not something you see everyday, thus making it a refreshing change of pace. A great beach read of escape from mundane office work.
