Mr. Perfect on Paper

Mr. Perfect on Paper by Jean Meltzer (2022) 399 pages

Dara is a matchmaker: she has spent the better part of her 34 years coding matchmaking programs to help Jewish singles who want to marry other Jews. Dara, who is quite wealthy, would love to find and marry a Jewish man herself, but she has spent most of her life dealing with generalized anxiety disorder. She has strategies for handling it during work, but dating is another story.

Meanwhile, Chris is the host of a daytime television program that hasn't been doing so well. He already uprooted his 11-year-old daughter to move her to New York two years ago when his wife died, and he's feeling stressed about the prospect of another move if his show fails.

When Chris (who is not Jewish) and Dara meet, it's for a segment of his television program showcasing her successful matchmaking business. She has brought her grandmother Miriam along, and Miriam steals the show when she produces a sheet of paper on which Dara once wrote the qualities of a man she would like to find. Chris - who finds himself attracted to Dara - pitches the idea of his team finding her dates and filming them. It's a win-win, helping his television program and helping Dara, while also promoting her matchmaking business. Will Chris be able to find the perfect Jewish date for Dara, and will he hate it if he succeeds? Read this and find out!
