from the December 20, 2021 issue by Diana Dario
Tagline: Tired of being set up by her friends, Isabelle is dreading yet another holiday meetup...until Sean arrives to make her season merry and bright.
Observations: I thought the idea for this matchmaker story was cute and original. I'd never seen a story built around a silly party game. And maybe the editors hadn't either!
Again, putting on my analytical reader hat, I found myself wanting to know more about Sean, specifically in two places:
Isabelle kept a smile plastered on her face as her friend Marie told her all about her soulmate-to-be: Sean.
And later in the story:
As the party continued, Isabelle got to know more about Sean, and the more she learned, the more she liked.
Both places provided an opportunity to give us readers more details about Sean. As a busybody matchmaker myself when it comes to Woman's World stories, I want to judge for myself if he's a good match for our heroine, Isabelle, and personally, I didn't have enough information to do so. Ultimately, that can be a deal-breaker for me with these stories. Do I believe the couple are a good match--yes or no.

Cute matchmaker story. I loved the repartee between the two characters and that they got together.
However, (and I know this is WW) I have real issues with that game in this day and age. No way would I agree to play that kiss game with a person I just met...now. Sadly, that pulled me right out of the story. Two years ago, it would have been fine with me.
Just my opinion, otherwise I found the story well written with wonderful characters and a great premise.
It's so weird how something can be fine and then a few years later, it has become questionable.
