currently wondering why I don't regularly read more YA ...?? 3.5 stars only cause it was incredibly corny, but also there was teenage love and long lost sisters and summer camp

Really sweet YA book with a clever plot! I was pleased with the originality of You Have a Match and although I didn't entirely see the chemistry between Abby and Leo, it was sweet enough that I didn't mind at all. It inspired a lot of mixed feelings about adoption that Emma Lord simply did not comment on in any sweeping "this is bad/good" way, which I suppose was the intent. It's always a very complex process, but I was really hoping
Spoilersomeone would tell Pietra she had no right to a baby that she wasn't carrying.
All in all, just predictable enough that Emma Lord was writing good foreshadowing, but not obvious enough that I was bored. A lovely summer read!

An enjoyable YA book that delivers on all the fronts you want it to: love interests, friends, family. I appreciated the slight 'parent trap' nostalgia that the book gave me as well.
