I really loved this book. I felt so attached to the characters and couldn’t wait to see how their lives turned out. What a beautiful, sad and hopeful book about love.

I usually love these books but this book is absolutely an offensive waste of time. It is the most disgustingly stereotypical white supremacy bunch of drivel. Every one in the book went to Ivy League schools and having affairs. It is really in poor taste.

I had just read The Blue Bistro and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hoping for the same with The Matchmaker. I was so disappointed. The book is slow and much too wordy. I have been to Nantucket and appreciate the descriptions of the island and the lifestyle, but the actual story is just dull. I’ll attempt another of Ms Hilenbrand’s books and hope it holds my interest as much as the Bistro.

UGH - boring. The dialog, the repetition. The best thing about this whole story was having what’s-her-name (I forgot already, main character) die of cancer. How sad is that?! This is the third Elin Hilderbrand book I picked up thinking there must be something I am missing ... but nope, I’m done!

I was 100% unprepared for how sad this book was, having not read any of the reviews before purchasing and being familiar only with other books by Elin that feature happy endings. So while I wouldn't characterize this as her standard beach read, unless you want to be crying behind your sunnies and into your margarita, I do think it's a good book that features characters I felt for and enjoyed getting to know.

And big waste of my time

Absolutely wonderful story--so real I cried a couple of times!

Great summer book especially with the Nantucket setting. Plot a bit far-fetched, but a good read.

I enjoyed this book,as much as do all of Elin's books. Sad but satisfying.

Two words: Depression Session While her books are beach candy with just enough current food and fashion trends inserted to feel a bit more upscale than the average beach book, this is a disappointment. Too much bummer for my summer with the abandoning Mother, life long anxieties, and the all time buzz kill.....cancer. I want my money back. And an ice cream cone.

Was not one of my favorites but grew on me the more I read it.

I love to read, but this story just didn't hold my attention nor sound plausible enough to identify with. Found myself skimming to the end.

Elin Hildebrand just keeps getting better. I loved this book.. Loved the characters. When I read the descriptions I wasn't sure I even wanted to spend the money. But she didn't let me down! Great book !

Fred rubbed my arm so sweetly as I neared the finish line of The Matchmaker. Interesting characters, a bit of mystic magic, and love's perspectives from unexpected angles. Erin is a new author for me, and I'll enjoy more of her talent. She CAN tell a story. Enjoy it before you breathe your next.

Must get to Nantucket. Beautiful, well-written, all about love and forgiveness. Another excellent book by Hilderbrand - she does not disappoint.

At first I was put off by the characters and their names, but the book grew on me and I ended up loving it and crying at the end. The only thing I don't like about Ms. Hilderbrand's books is that she injects her political beliefs, albeit in a subtle way, into every single book. It is not necessary to any of the stories, and she does it every time.

What a lovely book. I don’t pay this much on a book but this is worth it.

Loved it! I've read all of Elin's books and I loved them all. The Matchmaker is my new favorite :)

My heart is FULL!!! Once again you have outdone yourself. A beautiful story about love and family.
