I am going to keep this review short because I feel like other reviews have already summarized my thoughts fairly well. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy YOU HAVE A MATCH as much as I did with Emma Lord's debut, TWEET CUTE. I felt a bit lost while reading due to the many elements included. For starters, readers are following two teenagers meeting at a summer camp because they found out through a DNA service that they are twin sisters. Then there are the secrets and issues with their families, relationship and friendship drama with both sisters, inner conflicts with the main female characters' hobbies and social media profiles... There were just too many elements happening for me to fully follow and enjoy the story. I felt I was being whipped around to follow multiple things and struggled to keep up, especially since there are two perspectives and many side characters involved in their lives. I think this book would have benefited from those elements being better balanced like some being completely taken out to be used in a different story, some shortened and others going further in depth. Other than that, I enjoyed the overall premise and was interested in the story. I felt there were influences from other places like The Parent Trap that came into play. Whether intentional or not, I enjoyed them.

Could have done without the het love triangle that was forgotten as soon as it stopped causing conflict, but otherwise this was a fun read.
