This was really good. Emma Lord has become an auto read author for me. I recommend it.
Note: there is a fair amount of cursing and multiple times the the Lord's name is taken in vain.

3.5 stars. i didn’t love it quite as much as Tweet Cute, but i still really enjoyed it!!
thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a great YA novel. Emma Lord is a fantastic author, and though this is definitely YA, it is written with maturity and grace.
Although there is a romance weaved into this story, it truly is about DISCOVERY. Your place in your family, amongst your friends, and of your self. And the discovery of your own self is so important in seeing how others see you. Sometimes we are blinded by our own inadequacies, too insecure about how we measure up to those around us that we can’t see our own talents.
I appreciated how Lord brought in loss, and the grief that can weigh on you in different aspects of your life. That grief can manifest in a multitude of ways, whether internal or external. And we have to be honest with those feelings or they will continue to eat at us until we are nothing but a shell of who we are meant to be.
I will admit that this book was a bit slow to start. But once I was pulled in, I had to see the end of Abby and Savannah’s story. And I would recommend this for anyone who enjoyed Lord’s previous novel, Tweet Cute, and fans of Emery Lord and Erin Hahn.

I didnt read the synopsis and I initially thought that this book was about online dating and getting a match so I was quite disappointed at the start and really had to stay diligent to read through it. Luckily, it worked out great because it's been a while since I read a book where romance wasn't the main plot.
This book was refreshing and entertaining. I enjoyed reading this, much to my surprise. There was a good focus on sisterhood, friendship and family, with some romance at the side.

Second Emma Lord book and second one I got through in one day! Loved it. Her writing style is so fun and conversational and while you always want to shake the narrator for their lack of observing something that feels obvious to you as the reader, it also reminds you of being a teenager, which is fun.
