**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.**
I discovered Emma Lord last year when I read her debut Tweet Cute which I adored and her sophomore follow-up did not disappoint. Abby is a girl who hates conflict and tension and despite her daredevil ways she is afraid to take risks on things that really matter. At the start of the book she and her BFFs all take DNA tests for a school project and in support of Leo, who was adopted and who is looking to learn more about his background. But she's the one who discovers a long buried family secret - that she has a full blooded older sister who lives a few towns over. What happens next is a bit of comedy of errors. The two girls try to get to the bottom of the mystery - all while not releveling anything to their parents - and do so by attending summer camp for the summer.
A camp where Abby is a camper, her sister is a counselor and her secret crush works with the chef. Talk about your drama! You Have a Match moves a steady pace as the sisters learn more about each other and the secrets their parents thought long buried. They form a connection and while they are opposites start to become friends. Abby and Leo also learn secrets they didn't know about the other and there is lots of angst and heart-achy feels as these two dance around each other. I enjoyed this story and gave a happy sign when it ended. This was a great book about friendship and first loves and learning to deal with unexpected challenges. Its a story of self-discovery and I loved watched Abby grow confident in herself and figure out where her passions where. This was a fun read and one that I recommend.
