emmareadstoomuch 's review for:
You Have a Match
by Emma Lord
Do you know how hard it is to make a summer camp book boring?
And not just a summer camp book - a secret-sister family-drama friends-to-lovers finding-yourself summer camp book?
Have you considered how goddamn hard it would be to fit all of that into 300 pages and still find time to make it a snooze and a half?
Because this manages to do it and make it look easy.
This is simply a very meh situation.
I did not like the author's other book, Tweet Cute, very much, but I did not think it was BORING. In fact I thought it was funny and promising but simply annoying.
This had none of the flavor. None of the pizzazz. Nothing in this could have annoyed me, because I was too busy not caring.
A minor tragedy. But I'll get over it.
Due to the whole not-caring thing.
Bottom line: Bummer! But not really.

the defining characteristics of summer aren't "meh" and "boring" and "ugh," so i take back what i said about this being the summeriest thing ever.
