You Have a Match
by Emma Lord
First, thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC! I LOVED Emma Lord's first book and I'm so happy her sophomore effort was just as enjoyable.
I really love Emma Lord's writing and it reminds me so much of Emma Mills, in that they're both so matter of fact in their story telling and her characters, especially her female characters, are bold and badass. I really liked both Abby and Savvy and the ways they complemented and were different from each other.
I'm going to put some thoughts behind a spoiler cut...
One thing that didn't work for me was the whole Savvy falling off the cliff thing. It felt so trite and like its purpose was the encourage a heart-to-heart conversation between Abby and Savvy that could have happened with them not stuck in a ditch.
Maybe I'm showing my age as 39yo consumer of YA lit, but I would have liked more information and background about each of the parents. Their interactions with each other and also with their kids were really great.
I loved the romance. I love a slow burn when it's SO obvious they'll get together.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm so excited I got my greedy little hands on it early.
