Unfortunately, this title didn't work for me. I wanted to like it, and it was funny...but the humor of it, at least for me, outweighed the emotion and I never felt a connection to the characters. I wanted to, and I did end up skimming and finishing the book, but I don't feel that this is a review I will be able to post on the blog, as I skimmed and didn't read the title.

I was initially so confused about how to feel about this book. The blurb indicated it would be right up my alley, and I enjoyed the writing quite a bit. It's casual and snarky (if a little "young" - with the frequent use of slang and hashtags) - which is basically a summary of my entire personality. So, it's safe to say that I connected with the style and had a hearty appreciation for the humor. This had so much promise. And then...

Ugh, I just didn't like Rae very much. Like, at all. She was sort of..."that girl". Judgy and picky in an occasionally (often) mean way. I cringed at her behavior sometimes. The things that came out of her mouth (or her brain, as the case may be). I also wasn't crazy about how...bleak everything felt. I mean, I've been there - I know that the pickings can be slim in online dating. But it wasn't only that. It was the way Rae related to her girlfriends (and the way her girlfriends related to their significant others). It didn't feel GOOD to me. I didn't find humor in it. It felt depressing and jaded and frankly - not something I can really deal with in my reading right now. The world is depressing and jaded enough, I need more positivity, which I just didn't find here.

This was rightfully billed as Women's Fiction, so it's really my own fault that I expected more...romance. When I had not encountered a single swoon by 55%, and in fact was feeling increasingly more unsettled, frustrated and depressed, I decided that this one maybe wasn't for me. I wasn't engaging or connecting with the story or the characters and so I chose not to finish.

Ms. Schultz does something unique with her love of romance. She masterfully pens a tale of girl power that is strongly inspired by chick flicks. Online dating, unwanted matchmaking and the goofiness that is friendship, are at the center of this feel good read. Rae is the friend you can't help but love quirks and all. Her snark may be frustrating but adds to her charm. Every word that needs to be said, but I could never say is what Rae could voice without a second thought. Get ready to LIVE OUT LOUD (vicariously through Rae) .

Mr Right Swipe by Ricki Schultz was a genre cleanser for me - gotta have something lighthearted mixed in with all the thrillers! This is definitely a book I can see people either loving or not - I don't really see a middle ground. If you don't want to read hashtags then I'd say move on (I know that can throw a lot of people or when texting abbreviations are used). But if you want to read about a snarky and funny heroine, then this is for you!

Rae Wallace is witty and sarcastic woman. She's too focused on molding the minds of 1st graders and potentially finishing her novel - she doesn't have any time or energy to waste on a man. However, when her friends decide enough is enough, they make her create a profile for an online dating app. While skeptical, she's out to prove her friends wrong that she's not too picky with men. She runs into a problem though, when Nick's profile pops up (the hot substitute teacher at her school) and she swipes right.

With some of the slang, abbreviations, and hashtags used I can definitely see this turning off some people. Typically I try not to read reviews before reading, but I'm a little glad that I glanced at some so that I knew to expect this. I know that if I hadn't, I probably would have been turned off by it and gone with more in the 3.5 star range. While Rae can come off as selfish at times, she ends up as a character you can relate to and like. Her use of the app is great and how she interacts with some of the profiles on there - if you've used it then you'll appreciate it! Some great secondary characters and friendships thrown in made for a good light, quick, and genre cleansing read.

If you want something more contemporary and can handle the hashtags and text speak, then I'd recommend this!

I give this 4/5 stars! I enjoyed it for what it was.

A big thanks to Grand Central Publishing for the copy in exchange for my honest review.

I wanted to love this book! The description sounded super fun and I was so excited for it. But sadly it fell short for me.

I was hoping for more of a love story here. This one felt forced--like it was expected that she would end up with Nick just because he was hot and happened to be on her dating app. I wanted more swoons, more romance and more of a reason for them to end up together.

Mr. Right-Swipe is a fun and lighthearted women's fiction novel that hooked me from the start! I adore a book that can make me laugh and this one did just that. Readers who want a book to just get lost in (without all the angst and drama that come with it) than I would recommend this book. It's really just too much fun to pass up anyway!

This book was as it promised to be--light women's fiction with a lot of laugh out loud moments. Though it wasn't the deepest, the humour was lovely.

Rae's tone was absolutely fantastic--she's super witty and it's hilarious. I loved how she commented on the world and how I could very easily imagine her as someone I knew in real life. The way she interacted with the app was highly entertaining, and I adored how she and her friends were first grade teachers--not exactly what I had expected. I'm not the biggest fan of characters who are writers trying to be published simply because it's overused, but she at least had a great tone.

I did feel like Rae had the tendency to be quite judgemental--there was one scene in particular where she finds one guy with something wrong with him physically, and it's never quite clear if he just had a bad circumcision or some birth deformity, but nonetheless, something about how he looked was enough for her to lose interest in him despite how she had been completely into him prior. It fits with her character, but sometimes she really passed too much judgement.

This is mainly a book about guys, but Rae at least acknowledges that. She has an inherent mistrust of men in general and doesn't think that she'll find love, yet she seems to spend most of her time thinking about them or at the bar trying to pick one up. Quite contrarily, the ultimate message of this book seemed to be that Rae was happy when she had a man.

This was quite opposing to her strong friendship with fellow female teachers. Though she wasn't particularly supportive at time and seemed to want to ignore problems, she did value them quite a lot. A few of the scenes at the end of the book were quite heartening.

Oh, and she strangely uses hashtags all over the place... and it's really annoying. Not sure why the author decided to do that.

While this book will not teach you any underlying messages, it's a quick and easy book with some lovely scenes.

2.5 stars

I liked the idea of this and love stories that start via email/text/online BUT, I never felt their connection and never liked Rae, which is obviously important when reading her story.

Rae Wallace would rather drown in a vat of pinot greezh and be eaten by her own beagle than make another trip down the aisle--even if it is her best friend's wedding. She's too busy molding the minds of first graders and polishing that ol' novel in the drawer to waste time on any man, unless it's Jason Segel.
But when her be-fris stage an intervention, Rae is forced to give in. After all, they've hatched a plan to help her find love the 21st century way: online. She's skeptical of this electronic chlamydia catcher, but she's out to prove she hasn't been too picky with men.
However, when a familiar fella's profile pops up--the dangerously hot substitute teacher from work (Nick)--Rae swipes herself right into a new problem...

This was a complicated book for me to rate and read. On the one hand, I could relate to it, but on the other hand, I felt at times like instead of the main character being in her thirties, she was in her twenties. I love a book about internet dating and dating disasters, but this kind of fell flat for me. I think it was all the internal dialogue going on in Rae's mind that had me going "uh is this book going to end?" I also had a problem with the fact that there was cheating in this. Not with the main character, but a side character and it was made to seem like it was okay because when you're married a long time, you have a lot of children and things get hard - cheating happens! Well, I have news for you...my parents have been together for 43 years, and they've never cheated and had plenty of tough times. I guarantee that if one of them did cheat, it wouldn't be handled with a paragraph, a wink, and some guilt and that's all. I have issues with books like these. There should be just a cheating warning at the beginning because come to think of it, Rae's first relationship breaks up because the guy is married. So yeah...married, cheated, divorced and cheat some more. The only saving grace was that they threw Nick in the book and he was a kind-hearted, substitute teacher at the school Rae taught at and he was also a stripper. Yep, they had everything in this book lol!! Anyhow, if you've read the author before and like her books you'll read this one. I might read another book by her because I don't judge all books by an author by just the one.

I was given a copy of this ARC from the publisher on NetGalley for an honest review. All of the above comments are my express opinions and no one else's.

Nice book! It's really funny and sweet. The reason I'm not giving it more stars is because it sounds a lot like other stories I've read before, so it didn't bring anything new to me as a reader. But it's not a bad book!!! Those of you who enjoy this kind of romance will probably love this one too.
