You Have a Match by Emma Lord

I have to say it: I loved Tweet Cute. Like, LOVED it. So I was really excited for this.
Which may have set me up to have too high expectations. Abby rubbed me the wrong way several times, but I think I was supposed to find her behavior to be funny, or at least amusing. It reminded me of juvenile teenage behavior that I cringed at when I was in high school (the gum thing, in particular).
I did enjoy her getting to know Savvy, and opening up to her more. She grew and stopped being quite so judgmental over the course of the book.
The interactions with parents were a bit unrealistic to me, which would have been fine if not for the fact they featured pretty heavily in the last half. They just didn't quite feel like people, and their motivations were off.
I liked Leo, Mickey, and Finn, but feel like we didn't really see nearly enough of them!
The entire backstory for Savvy's adoption seemed pretty far-fetched to me, and I didn't like how Savvy's mom acted about it all, both in the present and what happened in the past.
So, all in all, it was a bit of a miss. A lot of potential, but I think it also just tried to do too much at once.
