The Friendship Matchmaker by Randa Abdel-Fattah
2.0

I found Lara so irritating, and then I saw that the synopsis said it was a reimagining of Emma by Jane Austen and I was like wow.......yep. It’s that clueless, controlling anti-heroine again..,love that girl...but seriously this book was fine and I liked the sort of coming-of-age vibe but it made me mad that the kids were such assholes to each other. Even in the end no one really held Lara accountable for her bullshit. Didn't hate it but also couldn't say I really enjoyed it.
