I loved the forced proximity and flirting through home renovation project arc. The story was about friendship, family, belongingness, commitment issue, transition to empty nest phase of life, and preconceptions. Well Matched was interesting and heart-warming finale of Well Met trilogy that revolved around April and Mitch’s story. Overall, it was feel good, gripping, and dramatic romantic comedy with lovey small town and fun fair. I’m not usually fan of sex scene but trust me here it was amazing. Romance between them was steamy, hot, and sizzling. But once they started knowing each other, the chemistry between them was lovable and award-winning. They disliked each other, Emily couldn’t stand Simon and there was time she even tried to do all to avoid Simon’s dagger throwing stare and Simon was out to find teeny tiniest fault in Emily and whatever she did. I enjoyed bickering and small fight between them in first half. Shakespeare lovers would love to read this as there was idea of Shakespeare theme, his plays and sonnet. It was fun reading the story of Emily and Simon. The message was deep and thought provoking.

It was about family love, belongingness, getting over grief, letting others help and share responsibility, and need of change without affecting the essence of originality. Well Met was cute, refreshing romance with hate to love arc that revolved around caring organized Emily, uptight rule-follower Simon, and Willow Creek renaissance fair with its historical theme.
