You Have a Match by Emma Lord
4.0

Starting the year with a book by Emma Lord again was so nice! I did it last year with Tweet Cute and now this year with You Have a Match.

In You Have a Match Abby's friend (and secret crush) Leo wants to do a DNA test to find out more about his biological parents in the Philippines. Abby does one as well to support him. But little do they know that Abby is the one who finds out about a secret sister, Savvy. Abby and Savvy decide to find out more about each other and their parents behind their parents' backs. After their first meet-up, they decide to go to the same summer camp and hijinks ensue.

I really enjoyed this story. Savvy and Abby are almost polar opposites but they really grew into their role as being each other's sister over the course of the book. The mystery of what could have happened that let to Savvy's adoption and the relation between their parents was very nicely done. I liked that the story is set at summer camp since I have never been to summer camp. The characters were so well developed. I love Abby and Savvy and the rest of the cast. I'm very curious what Emma Lord will write next.
