You Have a Match
Ratings23
Average rating3.1
From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship. When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to support her friend and secret love interest, Leo. After all, she knows who she is already: avid photographer, injury-prone tree climber, best friend to Leo and Connie. When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it’s hard to believe they’re from the same planet, never mind the same parents — especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself. The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby’s parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp’s co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything. But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones. 'A YA contemporary set at summer camp? Count us in.' - BuzzFeed 'Heartfelt and engaging, You Have a Match is a masterclass on love in all its forms.' - Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated and Perfect on Paper

I liked Tweet Cute but this was so much better. Emma Lord's writing has improved noticeably!
This book started out just okay to me but then it slowly got better and better. This has enough family drama to rival the haunting of hill house 💀
I loooooooved the characters especially Finn and Connie (my aro queen ❤❤). Also, Savvy and Micky were so cute, I would kill for them 😭
This gave me the same feelings as Foolish Hearts and I am ALWAYS looking for that. (It's time we accept that authors named Emma are just superior!) By the end, I literally couldn't stop smiling.
Abby's relationship with Poppy almost made me CRY which literally never happens...
And Abby and Savvy (that rhymes!) are sister goals. Also, LEO. He is SO precious, my heart can't take it. Abby and Leo were childhood-friends-to-lovers excellence. They kind of also gave me star-crossed-lovers vibes.
This book made me weirdly nostalgic like my heart is so full???
I loved how this wasn't just straight up a rom-com, it focused on so many other relationships too. Emma Lord should do more of that!
This book just gave me a lot of hope. I related to Abby and her struggles SO much. I don't wanna sound cliché and say “it tackles so many important topics” but it really does. I think a lot of people (especially young people) will resonate with this. The premise is crazy but the execution is amazing.
2.25 ??????
It was an easy read, and I loved Leo. Unfortunately the rest (the disappointing lack of relationship building with her new sister and the unbelievable adoption storyline) failed to engage.
