You Have a Match
by Emma Lord
Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC!
This is my first Emma Lord book, and I really enjoyed it! You Have A Match is The Parent Trap (high school version) meets unexpected DNA tests and a friends to lovers romance. So much going on!
Abby Day takes DNA test when one of her best friends, Leo, decides to do one to find out more about his biological family. While Leo's test comes back without much information, Abby discovers she has a full-blooded sister somewhere out in the world.
Abby and Savannah, aka Savvy, her newfound sister, meet up and find out they're going to the same camp over the summer. They decide to find out more about their respective parents and try to uncover why Savannah was given up for adoption. However, their personalities clash at first, and Abby and Savvy end up uncovering much more than they ever expected. And all of this is going on while Abby is grappling with the fact that she has feelings for Leo (and thinks he doesn't like her back), trying to come to terms with her grandfather's death, and finding the courage to finally share her photography with people.
I really liked the characters in this book, and the use of a DNA test as the main point of conflict. Very 2020 :D It was a fun contemporary YA novel, and I now want to read Emma Lord's other book, which I have heard lots of good things about as well.
