Absolutely adorable. Parent Trap vibes but cute and modern. Summer camp nostalgia too, even though I never went to a proper sleepaway camp.

The characters were younger than I thought they would be, from a quick glance at the blurb. (Clearly, I missed the part that said "summer camp"...) Nonetheless, quite an enjoyable read and a little deeper than I thought it would be.

I liked it at the beginning but as it went it got more and more frustrating, all the lies every one said to each other. Specially the parents, the kids are kids after all but the parents, I couldn’t take the selfishness.

I thought this was a good read! On occasion Abby got a little... angsty/juvenile/nearly unbearable but not so much that I had to give up. The premise was what piqued my interest and it had a cute ending. I don't want to give anything away, but it was good. Parents were kinda sketch, a little sus, but... once you hear their whole story I suppose it makes sense? I still didn't care for the way they handled things but, whatev. If they'd done anything different this wouldn't have been a good book.

What a sweet story! Abby Day is a daredevil, great friend and amazing (but shy) photographer who’s overwhelmed with the tutoring her parents are forcing her to do and the prospect of the future. To support her adopted friend Leo, she agrees to take a DNA test, and surprisingly gets a very close result. Savvy is her biological sister, through and through. The only problem is, Abby had no idea she existed. After they connect, Abby and Savvy decide to get to know each other, and try to figure out how everything came to be at summer camp, where Leo and a bunch of other campers will be. Abby has to confront everything she’s been holding on to, to begin the journey of where she’s going.

Reading this boom confirmed that I need to go buy and read Tweet Cute! This story was very light and sweet while intertwined with important topics like grief, adoption and familial relationships. Abby is the best narrator, funny, smart and honest. Her friendships and relationships were a pleasure to read, especially with Savvy and Leo. The relationship between her and Leo was so relatable to me I had to put this book down a couple times because it stirred up emotions. Abby really goes on a journey that’s so fun and real. The setting of camp lent itself to this story so perfectly, gave it just the right YA vibe but this story and Abby herself didn’t seem overly young. Throughout the book, Abby really reflects and grows which I enjoyed reading. Also, the relationship between her and Savvy really had me guessing! This book was a pleasure to read, I can’t waif for more from this author! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review!
