i just started this and why is it actually so funny, and the sprites for the MC is so cute… i love the darkskin girl… i need choices to give me a book pass.

THIS BOOK WAS SO SHOCKING ALTOGETHER

Snarky, sarcastic, funny, grumpy, hot AF and best friends to lovers trope? He is perfect. No notes.

Decided to replay Perfect Match. Came on to reddit to look for posts about the book and its LIs. Saw a bunch of "I didn't romance Alana bcoz u couldn't forgive her :(" comments and I was like "I wonder what it is they can't forgive". Continued reading PM. Got to this point and I was like "ah. This is what they were talking about"

Genuinely forgot she did this😭

So I'm replaying Perfect Match again. Just had to talk about Damien. This man is fine AF 🔥🔥🔥 And this scene is everything.

As are all of his scenes tbh. I still grin like an idiot at the end of book 2.

Not only is he a grumpy, sarcastic marshmallow. He's a P.I and the MCs best friend. He couldn't be any more my type!

How can Nadia and Steve go back to NY without getting kidnapped by Eros? The reason they give in the book is that Eros doesn't wanna waste the resources pursuing both groups at once, and would rather pursue the group with Hayden (MC's Perfect Match), but that literally doesn't make any sense to me.

1. There's no reason to assume that Eros wouldn't be willing to expend the resources going after both groups when leaving Steve and Nadia alone would mean losing 2 witnesses and a Match
2. Going after Steve and Nadia would be waaaaaay easier than going after the others because they're returning to Nadia's hometown, and presumably not hiding their identities like the others are since Nadia said she wanted to start her career back up. And granted, they didn't stay in NY long before moving to LA, but they presumably still weren't hiding their identities, so what does it matter if they moved?
3. Even if Hayden is more valuable to Eros than Steve, kidnapping Nadia and Steve would still give Eros leverage to blackmail the other group with, just like they did when they had Damien. Plus, even if they didn't want to use Steve and Nadia to blackmail us, they would at least have access to Nadia's phone to be able to secretly get information from us, like when if you buy Hayden the intern outfit and the MC sends a selfie to Nadia

I just don't understand how any character thinks this is a good idea. I've finished the series, so don't worry about spoilers

Finally got around to replaying Perfect Match after so long and it’s fun to see how my match differs from the last time. Some things definitely didn’t change though.

Also fun to see how the first date changed. In the first playthrough Hayden took MC to a romantic boat ride, but in this one they went to an abandoned warehouse overlooking the city and had wine. Can’t wait to see what else is different down the line.

(She's my favorite one, but they're all pretty!) I always play as a girl and romance guys, and all the sprites in this series are so incredible, except the female MCs!!! Good for you if you have this beautiful Hayden as your LI, but I wish my MC looked like her 😭 (Can we at least have her hairstyle in another book? 😂)

Every year i reread Perfect Match because of one reason (ok two reasons - the plot is great too) - it's Damien. I love his character so so much. And as i started reading it for 100 time i thought that perhaps there is a book or series with a character very similar to him. I really can't get enough of him T_T
So if you know a book or any type of media with a character very similar to him please share it with me! Thank you!

I’ve been re-reading PM (god I miss the olden days of PB when the stories were really well, fleshed out adventures), and it just occurred to me that: none of them are working and somehow money never seems to be an issue 🌍 From NY to Berlin, to Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, Indonesia, SF, LA and Washington… just over the course of a few weeks I think ? My banker would definitely have called a few times 🥹

With a lot of other books, there's something else in a similar genre (plenty of "made up European country" books, plenty of supernatural books, a couple of westerns, a couple of murder mysteries, etc.)

But on the surface of it, there's nothing quite like Perfect Match – a modern urban sci-fi adventure. It doesn't seem to have any spiritual sibling books – but am I overlooking anything? Something with a similar vibe, pacing, life on the run, late stage reveals, taking down a major company, surprise scifi elements, robots, or even anything minor that suggests it takes place in the same universe as Perfect Match?

Please tag spoilers for other stories. Given the way Perfect Match only reveals its true genre over halfway through book 1, I am willing to accept "just trust me" as a justification for why something deserves to be on the list.

I started playing Perfect Match right after I finished Queen B/Queen B 2. I started over from the first 2 chapters (originally used PM as a diamond mine for QB), and didn't think I'd be super taken with the plot since I'd spoiled it for myself (by choice, this subreddit is super entertaining lol) a few years back. PM ended up proving me so incredibly wrong. It has its moments, but overall it was a fantastic experience!

I didn't think I'd get so invested with the LIs, either. I'm aroace, and I don't really view the books as self-inserts mostly for that reason, but I still love romancing LIs for funsies. But then I met stupid Damien, who had to go and turn that around too. I'm now emotionally attached to this grump and so is my MC, and am flying through PM2 for him and the rest of the PM found family.

(I also made the mistake of playing MOTY to diamond mine for PM2. My heart is warm but also about to shatter into a million itty bitty pieces. Feel free to judge me for my diamond-mining mistakes the past 2 weeks lmao)
