Fans of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones's Diary, and anyone who loves to date vicariously, will fall in love with Matchbook. In this irresistible read, America's hippest Matchmaker borrows from her real-life experiences to create an urban love story about searching for "The One."

When people learn what Samantha Daniels does for a living, they have to know more: How did she become a Match-maker? How many matches have led to marriage? How does it work? Who's her craziest client? And most of all, how can a Matchmaker be single?

Samantha Daniels is unlike any Matchmaker you've ever heard of. Young, ambitious, and, yes, single, she's the founder of Samantha's Table, an introduction service that caters to singles in New York and Los Angeles who are ready to invest seriously in the task of finding The One. After handpicking their matches, Daniels works with her clients as their cheerleader, part-time therapist, dating coach, voice of reason, and closest confidante as she helps them down the road to happily ever after.

Readers learn how Daniels started her Matchmaking business (How much do you charge for finding the love of someone's life? How do you screen out the Undatables?) and get to know the colorful cast of characters whom she fondly refers to as her "Desperados." There's Mr. Cheapskate, Miss Manhunt, and Looks Good from Afar Guy. There's the 39-year-old female corporate exec who wants a husband yesterday; there's the guy who will only date women worthy of Brad Pitt; there's the gazillionaire who offers a $60,000 bonus if Samantha can find him a supermodel wife; there's the very well endowed woman who's having trouble finding men attracted to her mind; and a host of others. Will Samantha be able to make them a match?

And more importantly, will this Matchmaker find herself a match? You would think that meeting hundreds of single men would make dating a snap, but not even a Matchmaker can avoid the pitfalls of single life. Readers are introduced to another livel

Sobre o Livro

Na narrativa, a fundadora de um serviço de matchmaking em Nova York e Los Angeles relata como seleciona candidatos e acompanha clientes durante o processo de encontros; o contexto urbano e profissional é contínuo ao longo do relato. A autora mostra procedimentos práticos de triagem e as funções que assume com seus clientes, como coach e confidente.

Entre os personagens surgem perfis concretos — Mr. Cheapskate, a executiva de 39 anos e um cliente que oferece um bônus para encontrar uma esposa supermodelo — que ilustram desafios variados na busca por um parceiro. A presença desses casos permite observar dinâmicas sociais e preferências de paquera em ambientes de alto investimento emocional.

Ao mesmo tempo, a obra acompanha a vida pessoal da própria matchmaker, que convive com as contradições de conhecer muitos solteiros e ainda não ter encontrado seu par. O tom combina relatos de casos reais com reflexões sobre as dificuldades do namoro contemporâneo nas grandes cidades.
