You Have A Match by Emma Lord
This book was not on my TBR but I wanted a light hearted book after reading some darker stuff this month. I had seen this book all over bookstagram and I thought “why not?” and BOY AM I HAPPY I DID! I needed this book in my life. Humor, tears, mystery, INSTAGRAMMERS, and the LGBTQ community. Do you remember “Parent Trap”? You Have A Match is the teenage version, and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!
Savy and Abby have never met, but their lives are more intertwined with each other than they could have ever imagine. Same friends, same love for photos, same love life problems and oh yeah, same parents.
Without giving spoilers, if you’re looking for a truly heart-warming story, this is it. I enjoyed that the main focus wasn’t a love story, but two sisters finding each other. The book also touches on different types of loss and how there are so many ways of coping with it. This book sparked a conversation with my husband about what our parenting looks like and what we would do if we were in these parents’ shoes. This books setting is mostly a summer camp on an island, which made me love it even more.
Over all, I highly recommend this book. Please add this baby to your TBR!

This is a fun YA read. It's light and heartwarming, with some really cool & unique characters.
so cute. so fluff. needed about 50% less HP references
First, thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC! I LOVED Emma Lord's first book and I'm so happy her sophomore effort was just as enjoyable.
I really love Emma Lord's writing and it reminds me so much of Emma Mills, in that they're both so matter of fact in their story telling and her characters, especially her female characters, are bold and badass. I really liked both Abby and Savvy and the ways they complemented and were different from each other.
I'm going to put some thoughts behind a spoiler cut...
One thing that didn't work for me was the whole Savvy falling off the cliff thing. It felt so trite and like its purpose was the encourage a heart-to-heart conversation between Abby and Savvy that could have happened with them not stuck in a ditch.
Maybe I'm showing my age as 39yo consumer of YA lit, but I would have liked more information and background about each of the parents. Their interactions with each other and also with their kids were really great.
I loved the romance. I love a slow burn when it's SO obvious they'll get together.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm so excited I got my greedy little hands on it early.

Parent Trap vibes. It was a bit too juvenile and corny for me at times. I feel like it could have wrapped up sooner, especially knowing the predictability of the end. An okay read
I was buying some books online, saw this, and bought it without even reading the blip. I hadn't enjoyed the book I'd read right before this one, so when I saw this one, I thought that a fun romance could be a quick read, which is exactly what I needed. And it was. But it is NOT a book about online dating like I'd originally thought

Enjoyable book. Some romance. Self discovery. Finding and redefining family.
