I loved Tweet Cute and I was really hoping to love this sophomore book from Emma Lord just as much. Unfortunately, while it wasn't bad, it also wasn't my favorite. This read more like a YA Fiction than a YA Romcom, so perhaps that's just an error in what I expected because of Tweet Cute vs what was actually intended. But when I'm expect one thing and get something else, it really has to have a wow factor to overcome the disappointment.

That said, I still gave You Have a Match 3.5 stars (rounding to 4 on whole number sites). It's a nice story and the main characters are well developed. I really enjoyed the relationship between the sisters and felt it was a mostly natural progression. But the romantic interests for both main characters definitely felt like supporting characters and I would have liked to see more from them.

There were funny moments, which helped bring levity to a more serious topic, but the seriousness around the adults secrets was downplayed so much that it just felt... off. As an adult reader, this bothered me and caused the book to feel even more YA than it probably would have otherwise. But to a younger reader, this would likely not be an issue and does keep the book from crossing over in the to "too serious" territory.

Lastly, the pacing for this one felt a bit confusing. We are at camp for days already and then suddenly they've been doing weeks of punishment. And then days (?) later we still have weeks of punishment to go, during a 4 week camp? If this sounds confusing, well, it's because I'm still not sure of the timing of events. This really stuck out to me, but again, may not be an issue for most readers.

In this sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses, Feyre and Tamlin are trying to return to their lives from before Under the Mountain, but they find that they've both been changed by their time as Amarantha's prisoners. And Feyre's bargain with Rhysand hasn't even been enforced... yet. When Rhysand finally appears to collect on her promise, Feyre is taken to the Night Court where she starts to realize that things are not always as they appear.

Lately, I've been reading several books at once (Kindle, physical, often audio as well), but I could not put this book down! I wasn't interested in my audiobook (although I kept checking the library to see if this one was available so I could listen when I couldn't read) and I haven't started a physical book since I started ACOTAR. This middle book certainly did not suffer from it's place in the series, in fact, it was stronger than the first (and I'll reserve judgement on the third until I finish it, of course).

Since I'm coming into the series late, I don't feel that it's much of a spoiler anymore to say that I absolutely love Rhysand. His character is so complex and well written... The subtle hints at his true personality and the realizations that Feyre makes about him. But Feyre also goes through many changes in her time with him and becomes a strong and confident woman.

"Lucien backed up at step. 'What did you do to yourself?' I gave him a little smile. 'The human girl you knew died Under the Mountain.'"

While I originally borrowed these books from the library, I plan to buy a copy of each for myself - once I can decide whether I want them on Kindle, hardcover or paperback. If you have not yet read ACOTAR, do yourself a favor and give it a try so you can pick up this book as soon as you finish it!

This was a fun romance with a unique setting. There was enough detail about the faire to make me want to go to one. And I felt the characters were well described. I particularly enjoyed the nuances between the faire and real-life Simon personas.

I really enjoyed this book! There's just something so inviting about a little bookstore in a small village where everyone knows everyone. I really enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters, but I also enjoyed seeing how Evie interacted with all of the rest of the townspeople and really because a part of the community. This was a light and fun romcom, perfect for a quick read. Highly recommended to fans of the genre!

While I found the concept of this story intriguing, it lacked in the execution. I wanted to love this one and I think I could have if it were more refined, but it read to me as a first draft that had not gone through professional editing yet, or something that an author would send to beta readers.

There were quite a few spelling and grammatical errors throughout the book, often multiples on a single page. A few errors here and there don't generally bother me, it happens to everyone and editors don't even catch every single thing. But when the reader starts highlighting the errors after losing count at 10 and ends up adding an additional 27 highlights to what was already counted... that's enough to be constantly jarred out of the story and really affects the overall enjoyment.

However, as I said right from the start, the story itself was interesting and a unique spin on vampires and gargoyles which I would have loved to see explored in much more detail. I won't say more, because spoilers, but if the author were to hire a professional editor to help correct the errors as well as refine some confusing plot points and elaborate some aspects of the world building, I think this could be a solid book that would have received a much higher rating from me.
