The story was just as cute as this cover! It’s a coming of age story filled with heart and humor as Abby and Savannah try to piece together their family and individual identities. It has a little romance, but mostly I loved the girls working on their relationship with each other. Plus, the summer camp setting was so fun! The audiobook narrator also did a fantastic job with the characters and their voices so it was a great one to listen to. I enjoyed this book as an adult but know that 15yr old Hannah also would have LOVED it!
This book reminded me of why I keep reading Y/A books. I am 36 and married with 3 kids, so obviously not the demographic this book is aimed at. Yet, I still loved it. The characters were written in such a way that it was easy to forget they were teenagers (I mean that in the best possible way). The plot was intriguing, the romance was realistic and cute without being over the top. I also loved how it felt more adult than a lot of Y/A books, but still kept it PG or PG-13 (there were a few f bombs). I really connected with Abby's character. Well done Emma Lord!

This book was a fun summer read! I enjoyed the witty banter and the plot. This book was a romance book as well as had some mystery around the sisters' backgrounds. I really enjoyed the tie in to both of these plots!

Super Duper cute! I loved Emma Lord’s TWEET CUTE and found YOU HAVE A MATCH to be equally fabulous. When Abby agrees to take a DNA test along with her BFFs Leo and Connie she never thought it would turn her world upside down. imagine if on a whim you send in your DNA to one of those ancestor websites and find out you have a secret sister. Not a cousin, not a half-sister, but a full blooded sister and even more unsettling she looks a lot like you. Abby is still reeling from the shock of it when her long-lost sister savanna reaches out to her. Savanna and Abby meet and decide they are going to team up investigate what secret their parents are keeping. Why did they give Savanna up for adoption all those years ago? OK now here is where you need to stretch the believability a little. So Abby is going to acquiesce and go to a SAT prep camp that her parents have been bothering her to go to. Savanna just so happens to be a junior counselor at this camp, but wait... it gets better! Leo, Abby‘s BFF/secret crush is the chef at this camp and has known Savanna for years. Abby didn’t put these pieces together because the camp has changed its name. not very likely, but so much fun!
Loved the summer camp setting of this book. It was fun watching Abby and Savanna get to know one another, even though they were so very opposite. The Romance in the Story was cute and understated. more than the romance I really loved the family dynamics in the story as well as watching Abby Bloom. as a parent it really made me think about expectations we put on our kids and how sometimes we just need to sit back and listen to they have to say (I’ve got much better about this through the years). Eva Kaminski narrated the audiobook, she gave the perfect feel and voice to the story. this was a fun feel-good story that put a smile on my face and gave me the warm fuzzies.
