You Have a Match
by Emma Lord
4.5⭐
2021 is already delivering some amazing books. Emma Lord wrote on of my favorite YA contemporaries of 2020 and I think she will making that list again this year. This book was difficult, heartbreaking at times, and so wonderfully impactful. I definitely teared up more than once throughout this book.
I loved the strong emphasis on family and friend relationships. This really explores what it means to be family and what it takes to be a good friend. And Emma Lord has such a knack for writing realistic and believable teenage characters. Abby is such a difficult character read from at times because she is flawed and 16. She's stubborn and hard headed and make choices that drove me absolutely wild. But that's what being that age is and I really appreciated that perspective. Abby does not have her life together and figured out and I think a lot of teens will appreciate and relate to her character.
The family dynamics and relationships in here were heavy and tough but this story always had a feeling of lightness to it. There is so much humor and wit weaved into this to balance out some of the more difficult topics.
This slow burn romance was everything. I was screaming by the 3/4 point for these two just admit their feelings. But it was so worth the wait. I absolutely loved these characters together!
Overall I'm just in love with how Emma Lord writes relationships. This book was absolutely wonderful and I already can't wait for her next release!
