An Overdue Match is as a lovely and very sweet read! Faith is super important to both Evangeline and Tai, and it plays a key role in their relationship. I loved how Tai, a tattoo artist, is very much seen as a bad boy around town but is actually a sweetheart. There was so much to love about this book and its gentle sweetness. 

One of the things that was so entertaining about this read was Evangeline’s obsession with creating a perfect match for others while ignoring her own love life. She’s so disappointed when her staged meet-cutes don’t work out, but she fails to see why she cares so deeply. 

Evangeline’s journey with her alopecia is so powerful. It’s clearly something truly painful to her at the onset of the book, but the more she shares her story, the more she grows in comfort and love for herself- with or without hair. Reading stories like An Overdue Match are so powerful and I know that Evangeline is a character who will resonate with me long after I’ve finished this book. 

Thank you to Bethany House Publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
