Read Unmatched: An Orthodox Jewish woman's mystifying journey to find marriage and meaning By Sarah Lavane Full Books Online in HD Quality

With her sometimes funny, always intimate, uncensored memoir, Sarah Lavane puts a human face on the challenges of being “unmatched” in a “matched” Orthodox Jewish world. She takes us along on her journey. We learn how her background shaped her relationships and perceptions of God from a young age. She then delves into the ups and downs of dating, the tug-of-war she feels between men she may date and those who are off-limits, her heartfelt attempts (conventional and not) to change her fate and her poignant struggles with God through it all. Thoughtful and humorous, this page-turner draws the reader in.

Unmatched aims to bring solace and comfort to the “unmatched” as well as foster sensitivity and awareness to the “matched.” This memoir is a must-read for the currently “unmatched,” anyone who’s ever wondered, “Why isn’t so-and-so married?” and readers who enjoy memoirs that give insight into the human condition.
Unmatched in the world of Orthodox Jewish literature... in a conversational style that is refreshing... Lavane is impeccably honest about her pain, her mistakes and her resolutions to work on herself...
– The Jewish Press

Like the immersive experience of a visitor to a museum of the blind, the reader is plunged into an alien environment – the quest of a Jewish woman in search of a compatible mate, along with the raging emotions, the humility, grief, betrayal, despair and faith. The book gets an A+ for achieving the author's expressed goal of sharing the mystifying journey of a lonely woman of faith.
– Jewish Action

Unmatched is superb in that it illustrates the quandary of the single women that most of us simply do not understand. Lavane shares her struggles and bares her soul of her frustrations and challenges, and it is a heartbreaking read. Some of the dating stories are funny and par for the course. Others are devastatingly brutal... Lavane does not play the blame game or launch irrational rants. She shares her struggles and challenges in an honest and often humorous manner. I have never read anything like this before.

Unmatched” is one of the best books on Jewish dating you will ever read, and will force you to look at single people in a new and more compassionate way.
– The Algemeiner

An important book... potentially cathartic for long-time singles and an eye-opening lesson in sensitivity for others.
– Rabbi Jack Abramowitz, author, The God Book

I never had such an experience reading a memoir. I was captivated throughout. When it ended, I mourned as though I had lost a profoundly decent, most hilarious and loyal friend. Unmatched indeed.
– Ruchama King Feuerman, author, Seven Blessings

I hung onto every last word and visualized each situation. A poignant memoir that speaks of the heartbreak and stereotypes when you are unmatched in the Jewish world. Her stories are not hers alone...
– Jodi Samuels, founder, Jewish International Connection
