So this book started out slow for me, and I’ve put off reading it countless times because I just wasn’t in the mood (sorry Libby), but the ending and its message really packed a punch. Definitely glad I waited on it because it’s one of those books that I read at the right time. Much of the feelings Abby processes are so relatable to me right now (even if the situation isn’t) and it made me feel less alone. Good second novel from Lord!

Turned out liking this more than I thought I would. Love found family and a summer camp setting.
This book feels like a modern, teenage take on the parent trap, with a little bit of a love story sprinkled. It was cute.
This was a fun, entertaining read. There are a few storylines interwoven, and it definitely kept my interest. Thanks to NetGalley for the copy.
Cute read about a DNA test surprise, summer camp adventures, and discovering new relationships. What I loved? The characters - so sweet and well developed. I would definitely read about these characters again. Loved the camp stories and a lot of the relationship stuff. What I didn’t love? The parts of the books with the parents were just too hard to believe and took me out of the story — not the past events as much as the present. I felt like Abby would have been angrier. They would have been more “in charge” of decisions. But overall a cute read.
4.5 stars! It was a really cute story and I loved the progression of characters and their whole friend group :)
From Tweet Cute author Emma Lord comes You Have A Match.
This coming of age novel follows Abby as signs up for DNA service at the prompting of her best friend and secret crush Leo. She is not prepared to find out that she has an older sister that her parents gave up for adopting and never told her about. In an effort to get to know her older sister without her parents knowing, Abby signs up for an SAT prep camp where her sister is a junior counselor. However, she doesn’t know that Leo will be a chef there until she runs into him on the ferry.
While at camp, Abby learns about who she is while trying to unravel her feelings for Leo and the mystery of why her parents gave her sister up for adoption.
I found You Have a Match to be less of your average cute young adult romance and more of a deeper figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life. It was quite enjoyable watching Abby stumble through her relationships while finally doing what she loves. Emma Lord did a great job showcasing Abby’s relationship with all the people in her life. And have some tissues nearby because it will make you cry and also make you laugh out loud.
