Flan and Alex's relationship is progressing beautifully. And Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

But now Flan has hit a complication. All her friends at Thoney are planning a "no guy" revolt. Camille was dumped by Xander, and in solidarity, the rest of the girls want to stand behind Camille and have nothing to do with guys for the most romantic holiday of the year. Flan is torn between her obligations to her best friends, and her desire to be with her boyfriend.

To make matters worse, SBB (Sara-Beth Benny) has decided to go undercover at Thoney to get a real high school experience to help her with an upcoming audition. Flan doesn't have enough time to devote to her homework, let alone divide herself between her friends, Alex and SBB.

After a chance encounter with her ex-boyfriend, Bennett, Flan decides that playing matchmaker may be her only hope to get her friends to back off the boy boycott and agree to attend the school's Valentine's Day Dance.

When the best intentions blow up in Flan's face the night of the dance, she believes all has been lost and she'll have no one to hang out with at school on Monday. But in typical SBB fashion, Flan's world is still rosy and life goes on.

PERFECT MATCH is another guilty ready in the INSIDE GIRL series by J. Minter. Flan's life is simply fabulous, and just for a brief time, the reader is drawn into the cushy world of the Upper East Side.

Everyone will love Flan after reading PERFECT MATCH, and will be eager for even more of her life in LUCKY BREAK, due out in June 2009.

okay, this book is so romantic and so good you won't know what time and were you are. When i finished reading this book, i felt like reading it over and over again. and i still really wantt to read. I most certanly love this book mostly because its so romantic and cool. I think I would like to know some more fashion designers and dress like her now and then. Another reason i love this book because all her friends are so awesome, its rare to have a group of girlfriends together and spend time shopping and etc.

I thought I did my review on this, but apparently not. I finished this book a really long time ago so i do not remember what happened. From what I remembered, she left Stuyvesant and went back to her private school. There she made more friends than her old best friend.

I do enjoy reading this series and I wish to continue reading it
