Slow start and dragged on. Interesting topic though.

I really enjoyed this book! Must admit wasn't sure about the topic of arranged marriage, but the paid service offering seemed to work in this situation. The main characters were all very relatable and likable, and the author's writing…

I liked this book about arranged marriages based on common interests and beliefs. An interesting take on compatibility and friendship versus physical attraction.

Not your typical romance - McKenzie has a light and breezy style of writing even when the protagonist, Anne Blythe, goes through some dark patches. The 'Arranged' in the title refers to the arranged marriage that Anne seeks, after yet…

While reading this book I often smiled and laughed. And felt shocked at a betrayal. I like this author and plan to read more of her books.

I enjoyed this book as a diversion from the stuff I usually read. It was good chick lit. Well written with an interesting premise. I have to say I was disappointed with the ending. An interesting (if not terribly deep) exploration of the…

I was going on vacation and arrived at the airport having forgotten the book I was in the middle of! darn. I had to buy one at the airport. I looked at several and read the back cover of Arranged and decided it would be a good beach…

I picked this one up after it crossed my desk several times. The plot sounded interesting and the fact that one of the blurbs mentioned an "unexpected twist" intrigued me. It was good but the twist just wasn't that unexpected. Bonus: there…

I thought it was awful, but that might be because it's not my usual type of read. I thought the plot had a lot of promise, but the whole thing ended up cheesy and predictable.

Extremely promising work by a relatively new author. A romance, but with an intelligent idea behind it. (Perhaps not entirely original: it did put me in mind of "Down with Love"…

"Arranged, Catherine McKenzie’s second novel following her skyrocketing success with Spin, will probably follow a similar trajectory into book-sales orbit. Arranged is quirky and fast-paced. It addresses a serious issue – marriage – with…

I really enjoyed this book! After I had finished reading it I relayed the story to my husband and he thought it sounded like a movie! Which could be a compliment or not... But he is a guy and this is a chicklit. One of the better chicklits
