You Have a Match
by Emma Lord
What I read: You Have a Match by Emma Lord
Why I picked it up: I’ve appreciated Emma Lord’s books before so I’m working my way through her back catalogue.
How I read it: On Audio (and I downloaded the Kindle book too to read back and forth, but I never dove into the ebook) at 1.75x speed over the course of this week walking and driving
What it’s about: Abby and her friends do a DNA test when he’s hoping to find his biological family and instead she ends up with a new sister. There’s a camp scene, an unexpected parent trap, and a bit of a love story that was curtailed by their other best friend when she got scared she was going to be the 3rd wheel. It’s a great finding yourself and coming of age story.
What I liked: I appreciated the sisters finding each other and becoming friends.
What I disliked: There’s a thing in adoptions that gives birth/first mothers a grace period – and that wasn’t honored in this story, but I think it should be talked about more – it’s beautiful and hard to give your child to another family through adoption, both can be true.
Genre: Young Adult, finding oneself, coming of age.
Rating & Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and absolutely, especially if you’re intrigued by adoption and found family stories like I am.
