Matchmaker

Summary

Emerson “Em” sees no problem with her matchmaking business at her Christian college. She successfully helps couples to find their forever spouses, and she can pay off her student debt on the side—despite her best friend Noah’s objections.

But when an unmatchable girl, Harmony, enrolls in her senior year on campus, Em is determined to find a match for her, and prove to Noah that what she does is good and helpful.

Meanwhile, a bitter apartment mate heightens the stakes by enlisting Em in a five-figure bet to see if Em is willing to put herself through what she subjects her clients to. If Em can find a fiancé in two semesters, she’ll win enough money to pay off the rest of her student debt.

With many nods to Jane Austen’s Emma, Matchmaker is a funny—and often scathingly satirical—look at the world of dating for young adults, especially amongst Christians.
