No he conseguido conectar con el personaje principal ni con la química de la pareja. Me ha gustado que no se centre tanto en el amor sino también en la relación de hermanas.

Twice now, Emma Lord has surprised me with how much I can really love a book that I fully intended to love from the beginning.
This book is so much more about sisterhood than it is romance (so I kind of wish the covers were reversed and Savvy was on the front) and despite the two characters having no idea exactly How to be sisters, they do it just as perfectly messy as the rest of us. Emma Lord has sisters and it shows from lines like "We don't have to put an official end to the fight, because we trust it to simmer out on its own." To "it is the pulse of understanding between two people who are simultaneously and extremely fucked." It is incredible and refreshing and so honest.
Side Note: I love that the characters say fuck. Let more YA characters say fuck.
The characters are complex and messy and sometimes complete assholes that you can't help but love. They feel not just like real people but real teenagers which is so much harder to find. And, Miss Lord if you're reading this, I will be impatiently waiting for the Finn Justice I deserve because my God did this book give me the most intense second lead syndrome I've ever had. I could write a whole essay on each of the characters alone, but Finn's would be significantly longer than all of the others. Also

I think it's a little fucked up that Connie got more of a conclusion than Finn when one had way more screen time than the other, but I am very happy that asexual little Type A Connie who I love didn't lose her two best friends over one mistake.
A cute overall storyline, but a bit juvenile. For being so short, it kind of dragged on at the end

You Have a Match by Emma Lord was the perfect summer YA read! If you're a fan of The Parent Trap, this book definitely gives off similar vibes—with a modern twist. The story follows Abby, who unexpectedly discovers a long-lost sister after taking a DNA test, throwing her world into a whirlwind of secrets, identity struggles, and emotional growth.
I really enjoyed Abby’s voice and her journey as she tried to balance the pressure of living up to her parents’ expectations while figuring out who she really is. The summer camp setting added a fun backdrop, although I wish the book had leaned more into the camp experience rather than just the family and romantic drama.
I personally think the story would have been even stronger with a dual POV between the sisters to better explore their dynamic and give us more insight into Savvy’s side of the story. Still, it was a heartfelt, easy listen with themes of friendship, family, and self-discovery.
The audiobook was just okay—nothing standout, but it got the job done for a light and breezy listen.
