A memorable read

"Computer matching works, you'll see!" Her roommates were enthralled with the idea of the experiment, but Gemma wasn't sure. It didn't seem right to cold-bloodedly plot another person's falling in love. Gemma liked it even less after they had done the computer analysis of Paul Verignac, and the results showed that she was the best suited to be the bait. But her moral reservations disappeared after she'd met him. Good looks, arrogance and conceit were a rankling combination. He deserved to have the tables turned on him! I read this when it was first published in 1979 and loved it as a teenager and lost the copy. I remembered the plot as I grew up and wanted to read it again. I was thrilled to find it and get another copy. I have read and re-read it over and over. It's a fun and easy read book that goes quickly and keeps your attention. It has great comedic moments and you constantly are rooting for the clumsly, but well intentioned Gemma. Read it!

Hilarious

My sisters and I read this book long ago when it was first published. We laughed and laughed at the protaganist's antics. Gemma is the precursor to Bridget Jones--a loveable clutz with a warm heart. Parts of the story are a little outdated now, but the entire book is so fun you'll overlook those bits. This is a nice romance without the "obligatory bodice ripping sections" prevalent in so many books today.
