 Review

As a mother of children on the autism spectrum, I appreciate the amount of every day detail author Laura Walker puts into her latest book The Matchup. She lays out for readers how difficult every day interactions like birthday parties, church and school can be for special needs children. She talks about the diagnosis, the treatment, the PECS charts, school meetings and the hope for a better future. For me, personally, the other bits of the story line and the romance took a back seat to how main character Valerie handled her son. This clean piece of fiction brings awareness to motherhood, single parenthood and the reality of blended families. There is a lot of religious discussion and the conflict is mostly intrinsic. I would have liked to have seen more external conflict and more tension, as well as a bit more fleshing out of the male character Gage.  This is a great pick for fans of clean, LDS fiction with a happy ending.
