They (whoever “they” are) said this was “an engaging novel about a group of single women who come up with a plan to try and meet Mr. Right” and holy man, they were right! I was a little sad there were no “bad date” stories involved (they were always my favourite part of my teen magazines) but I know that was not the story Ray was trying to tell. I am here for the one she did tell and look forward to grabbing a physical copy of The Referral Program by Shamara Ray!
Meet Dylan, Ivy, and Brooke. They’re best friends in their 30’s decide they want to find Mr. Right and all have male friends who they’re close to, but they’re just not the right fit (you know the ones?). So these women have a very enlightened idea: what is they introduced the men to their friends and see if any sparks fly? The adventure really kicks into high-gear once the ladies each refer men who they think will be matches for their besties. The women will each setup the date and if it’s not a good fit, move on to the next man on the list hoping to find that perfect match.
I loved the plot, characters, even the various POV’s! I found the multiple perspectives helped the story, never confused me, and added to the beautiful tale. Each character had their own unique personality and each complimented the other (gotta love besties, amirite?). It’s been said by other reviewers, but I felt like I was watching a movie versus reading a book. Such a treat! This isn’t just a beach read, it’s a year-round read my friends.
Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Strebor Books for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
