I love me a good summer camp story and this one didn't disappoint. It didn't hurt that I've been waiting for this book since I read Tweet Cute last year. Emma Lord has quickly taken a place on my must-read author list.
From the very first page, Lord establishes Abby, Leo, and Connie as a friendship with deep roots. I immediately felt their connection .... and their splinters. And when Abby gets the huge news that she has a sister, I couldn't wait to see how her friendship with Leo and Connie would suffer or grow from this.
I loved the Parent Trap vibe Abby and Savvy create by heading to camp (Abby under some secrets and lies) and how with each discovery along the way of their past, they try to trick their parents into letting them have a relationship. But the best part, is that nothing was instant. Not the sisterly love. The repaired relationships. The romance. The successes in each character's goals. They all came with a lot of work, but it was a joy to follow each character through their changes and the ending was realistic and satisfying.

If I had to describe this novel in one word, I think it'd be "corny."

This wasn't bad. In fact, some parts of the story genuinely piqued (and held) my interest—particularly the deepening bond between Abby and Savvy, and the unravelling of the mystery behind their past. But the writing itself came across, to me, as somewhat juvenile and cheesy: all acronyms ("Big Embarrassing Incident" aka "BEI") and cliché nicknames ("Abby the Lying Liar") and weird dialogue and actions that I couldn't picture myself or any of my friends saying or doing in real life.

I also personally just am not interested in culinary stories, or YA stories about social media stars—effectively nulling my interest in either Leo or Savvy, who are two important characters in Abby's story. I was aware when I requested this ARC that social media would play a role in the story, but I didn’t realize Leo's storyline was so heavily rooted in food and cooking. Moreover, I picked this book up in the hopes that it would provide a more nuanced take on what it means to be an Instagram influencer, instead of painting an overly romanticized image where the influencer is some benevolent dispenser of self-help wisdom.

Savvy's brand of Instagram wellness in particular totally rubbed me the wrong way, and reminded me of many thin, conventionally attractive white influencers who monetize beauty norms and (harmful) health fads for their own benefit. I know the story tried to play off Savvy as a charitable, generous, compassionate influencer, but I'd ask you to consider how promoting juice cleanses and yoga poses contributes to the dismantling of harms perpetrated by capitalism, consumerism, and narrow beauty ideals on social media. I think the word "influencer" itself speaks volumes.

That being said, there was a scene where Abby's newfound camp friends discuss the ways they want to use their Instagram accounts, and I liked seeing the different ideas they each had—from a chronicling of one's med school journey ("Like Grey's Anatomy, but make it Gen Z") to Dungeons & Dragons cosplaying. I still wish there had been more critical nuance, but seeing these fun niches highlighted, to me, the flexibility and creativity made possible by social media.

I also appreciated the diversity in side character rep: Leo and his sister Carla are adopted Filipino-Americans, while Mickey (a Filipina) and Savvy are queer—though I wish that there had been more discussion of the Filipino characters' culture. Not only would this have deepened readers’ understanding of Leo and other side characters, but it also would’ve helped to mitigate the sense that these characters were placed in the story only as token people of colour.

Bottom line: Maybe I would've liked this more if I'd read this when I was younger and more tolerant of cliché storylines.



Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A warm, feel good story about family (especially sisterhood), friends becoming something more, and learning to be a brave person, You Have a Match by Emma Lord feels like it should be a rom-com, but turns out to be so much more.

Abby Day is unhappy with her life, but doesn’t know how to change it. Ever since her grandfather, her caretaker and closest ally, died last summer, her grades have been plunging, leading her parents to panic and saddle her with countless tutors who suck up all her free time. Secretly, she already knows she wants to be a photographer, but is too scared to share that with her parents… with anyone besides her grandfather, really. To make matters worse, she has been crushing on her best friend Leo for the past year, but after an embarrassing incident months before, there is a lot of awkwardness between them. When it comes to pulling pranks or climbing a tree to get a good shot, Abby is fearless, but when it comes to talking about her feelings, she is terrified.

Wanting to learn about his birth parents, Leo decides to do a DNA test and convinces Abby to do one too. She expects nothing to come of it, so is shocked when the test reveals that she has an older sister—and this older sister wants to meet.

Reminding me of a 21st century update of The Parent Trap (I was raised on the Hayley Mills version), these two decide instead of telling their parents right away, they will head off to summer camp together to get to know each other better. When she first arrives, Abby isn’t so sure about the experience. First, Leo is a counselor at the camp, which forces Abby to spend more time with him. Second, her new sister, Savannah, is not as easy to get along with as she had hoped. Savvy is the opposite of Abby—she is an Instagram celebrity, spandex wearer, and fitness queen. She follows rules to the T and color codes her Google Calendar, including her dates. Where Abby is chaos, Savvy is control, and she isn’t so sure those two can ever work together.

In my opinion, this novel is the perfect feel-good contemporary. Essentially, it is a rom-com, but although the romance is a big part of the story, it dives deeper. The family dynamics and Abby’s growth as a character is the main focus instead, which I appreciated. As someone who comes from a complicated family that brings up a mix of emotions in me, I related to Abby’s struggles. I related to not feeling good enough for your parents, wondering if you are “the problem child,” wondering if your parents would be happier with your perfect older sibling. The family drama felt authentic and powerful to me.

I also loved the setting! A novel set at summer camp is perfect for a YA—not only does it easily introduce us to lots of characters, but it is also full of secret trails, make-out spots, and haunted trees. It was fun to explore. I loved all the characters at summer camp, and those scenes were full of hilarious banter. One frustration I had was with the romance, but it is a personal taste thing, not a critique of the writing. Abby ended up with the guy I wasn’t rooting for, but I do admit they are cute together.

For fans of The Parent Trap, summer camp YA, and those nostalgic for Sarah Dessen’s work, I highly recommend this book!

A sweet and uplifting YA romance that focuses on family with a strong movie vibe like The Parent Trap. A cute and refreshing coming of age story on finding a long lost sister and dealing with the emotions of falling for your best friend and living up to parental expectations.

Abby does a DNA test with her best friend Leo and shockingly finds out she has a long lost sister. In her attempt to get to know her sister, Abby goes to camp, and not only grows closer to Savvy, but her childhood best friend and a bunch of fellow campers.

There is a lot of characters in this book, but this is pretty much the journey of Abby getting to know her sister Savvy and finding herself along the way. This book felt very young adult to me with a major emphasis on expressing oneself. There are major themes of personal growth, family dynamics, and clear communication. Honestly, Leo was my favorite and I wish we could have gotten more of him in the novel. He was a small part of the story, but a big part of Abby’s life. This is a sweet and authentic reflection of growing up with a satisfying conclusion.

Emma Lord puts a modern spin on the classic parent trap story in her sophomore novel You Have a Match. Abby is shocked to find out she has a sister she never knew about after taking a DNA test with her two best friends. Her older sister Savannah lives close by was put up for adoption and the girls are reeling from this revelation. Not quite ready to go to their parents for answers, the girls instead hatch a plan to go to the same summer camp where they can get to know each other in secret and figure out the answers to their questions away from the adults. What Abby didn't expect was that Savannah would be so different from her in every way. While Abby is a risk taker and loves to be behind the camera, Savannah is a rule follower and loves to be in front of the camera, as her loyal and ever growing number of Instagram followers will attest to. Abby also didn't expect to run into her crush Leo, who just so happens to work as a chef at the camp. As the two grow closer and learn to see the value in their differences, they begin to work as a team to uncover long buried secrets pertaining to their past.

You Have a Match is a lighthearted, fun, and humorous story that covers some difficult but important topics many readers can relate to from social media and adoption to LGBTQ relationships and genetics and DNA testing. While the story centered mainly around Abby and Savannah's growing relationship, there were plenty of sweet and endearing romance moments as well, making this a perfect story to lift your heart in time for the Valentine's holiday. Each character in the story, from the characters central to the plot to side characters were well developed and added something special to the story. You Gave a Match is a unique contemporary story full of friendship, family, and young love that is sure to put a smile on your face.

You Have a Match was a delightful, feel-good read that was an excellent way to kick off my 2021 reading journey. It is a fresh and compelling story that outlines the rare but quite possible occurrence of actually finding matches in “ancestry” type websites.

You Have a Match, highlights the story of Abby and how one simple message changed her life and unraveled a mystery spanning decades that could very well turn her little world upside down. The revelations- the secrecy, the absolute need to understand the events from the past all culminate in a jaw-dropping discovery that will leave readers speechless.

Following along with Abby felt like holding a friend’s hand, as they embarked on a life-changing journey. Her progression throughout the novel revealed her personal growth from a shy girl with an innate need to keep her life private, to a young woman, willing to take a leap of faith and open herself up to new experiences, friendships, and the possibility of love. Her emotional journey, as she blossoms from a careless teen to a thoughtful young adult willing to unravel her layers of resistance and open herself to new memories was heartwarming.

The beauty of this story for me stems from the characters, who had me picking, then switching sides, laughing, crying, and feeling utterly helpless and heartbroken. I love how relatable the characters were and how they managed to fit together despite their differences.

Emma Lord’s writing is superb! She managed to nail the teenage angst and the struggles and misunderstandings of becoming a young adult while maintaining a level of innocence and purity that was refreshing.

You Have a Match overall was quite an interesting story that gave an insider’s look at adoption, the importance of heritage, and the burning need to belong.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and the author Emma Lord for providing me with an arc. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Women's fiction teen style?

After the rather lighthearted fun of Tweet Cute, I was looking forward to this. It has a different tone than that book though. Perhaps it was my disappointed expectations, but I didn't enjoy this one as much.

I'll give it credit for the premise & technical style, and I certainly wouldn't call it bad, but somehow, neither Abby or Savvy seemed particularly engaging. Or even real. They were just kind of flat - their angst seemed superficial. And Leo could have been such a fun character but he was ken doll bland - almost a wallflower to the story. The plot was... odd. But at least it has a pat, happy ending

Content (provided as a courtesy but not factored into my review):
*Romance: nothing graphic; Savvy is gay, as are several secondary characters & her SO relationship is second only to Abby & Leo's (which actually isn't saying much)

*Language: mid-moderate - 21 f-bombs, 15 d-mns, 56 sh-ts & 23 h-lls

*Religion: careless use of the Lord's Name 18 times with 2 as curses - unnecessarily inconsiderate of adherents to the 3 Abrahamic religions

Abby subscribes to a DNA service and discovers she has a match - a sister. Savvy is a couple years older and was adopted at birth. Both set out to investigate the past together when Savvy invites Abby to attend a summer camp where she is a counselor. Bonus for Abby is her best friend, and secret crush, Leo is working at the camp too. A book with two story lines that work well together, two challenges for Abby and two sisters who have found each other!

My thoughts: A cute, funny YA novel with well developed characters. I enjoyed the family aspects and depiction of real drama that teenagers encounter (outside the fact Abby has a surprise sister). As other reviewers have pointed out, no real romance so would truly be good for young adults.

You Have a Match features all of my favorite tropes, namely summer camp and friends-to-lovers. Abby takes a DNA test and finds out she has a secret sister: Savvy, a social media influencer. The two conspire to meet up at summer camp and figure out their family drama. Abby already has a busy summer, and to add on, she has to contend with her feelings for her best friend, Leo.

I LOVED Tweet Cute, so when I heard Emma Lord was releasing You Have a Match, I was so excited to request it. I thought Abby and Savvy's sibling relationship was well written — they grew from being mortal enemies to being someone the other could rely on. I have a soft spot for friends-to-lovers and so I loved reading of Leo and Abby and how they grew closer over the course of the summer. Mickey is easily one of my favorite characters here — I loved the warmth she brought to the group and just how kind of a friend she is. At the start, the characters felt fragmented but grew into this giant family (which is another one of my favorite tropes). Emma Lord does a wonderful job writing strong relationships with her characters and how they learn to grow and support one another. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to escape for a few hours and feel the warmth of a summer day (which is welcome as I'm writing this review in January).

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

You Have a Match is a story about finding a long-lost sibling just when you needed her most.

Abby is in a life rough patch. Her grandfather has died, robbing her of her biggest champion in her family and her photography buddy. Her grades have dropped and she failed a class and has to do summer school. And, she almost kissed her best guy friend and then he told the third member of their trio that he didn’t like her like that. So when she takes a DNA test because her best friend/crush, Leo, wants to take one, she never expects to get a match for a full-blooded sister.

Turns out, there’s a huge backstory to why her parents would never tell her that in addition to three younger brothers, she has an older sister. It is juicy and I will not be revealing it in the review!

Although this is A YA novel and it can be a but juvenile at times—especially the whole summer camp setting—it is so good. I haven’t cried reading a book in months and I read five or six books each week. Man did this book get the love a parent has for a kid sooooo right.

I’m not the biggest fan of friends-to-lovers—went down that road a time or two and it’s too hard to lose a friend and a boyfriend—but if there’s ever a time for it, well high school is it.

You Have a Match is such a cute story you guys!

There is family drama that for once is not extremely toxic, it has a super cute love story and it set during the summer at a summer camp! I mean what else do you need?!!

Our leading girl is Abby, she is struggling with grades, her parent's constant pressure for her to do better in school and to attend a million tutoring sessions. She is also struggling with her feelings for one of her best friends who seemingly rejected said feelings (but did he?).

Now add on to the fact that after taking the DNA test with her friends she found out she might have a sister? A full-blood sister. As in, born from her parents and somehow ended up with another family sister.

Savannah and Abby meet up and they arrange for Abby to attend the summer camp Savannah is attending that way they can figure out why Savannah ended up being adopted just a year and a half before Abby was born.

Abby is glad for the distraction because Connie left for Europe, Leo is at camp like every year and she failed English so she is supposed to be in summer school, but finding out the truth about her sister and parents is more important so she goes to camp.

Even before she makes it to the camp trouble starts to show, it turns out Leo is attending the same camp and he seems way too excited to see her which is weird, because she knows for a fact he is not into her like that, so what is going on?

Then more trouble shows because turns out Savvy is a junior counselor and she is a strict rule follower so on the first camp meeting Abby attends she gets a demerit for chewing gum and gets kitchen duty for her bad language.

Abby is beyond mad and ends up spilling her guts and all the truth to a complete cute stranger that also got into trouble and ended up with kitchen duty.

This cute complete stranger (who's name is Finn) is also going through his own brand of hell and is looking for a distraction so they come up with some plans to get back at Savannah a few times.

Savannah gets in trouble because of one of the pranks they pull, Leo gets jealous and Abby is in no way closer to finding out the truth about her sister.

There are so many laughs, cringe worthy moments and so many relatable teenage situations the story completely takes you in and makes you feel like a teenager again.

Lord's writing brings you into the story, it captivates what it is to be a teenager and having to navigate new situations, new feelings and maybe even new family members.

You Have a Match is one amazing teenage story about growing up and learning that life is not always black and white, with many ups and downs and such a positive, hopeful ending that will leave you smiling and rooting for the future of the characters.

I completely recommend this story to everyone, Lord's writing will leave you wanting more and wishing she had more stories for you to read!

Five stars!

You Have a Match is about Abby Day who finds out she has a full blooded sister, Savannah, who is a year older than her and who she has never met. The two end up going to a summer camp together to find out what happened, only for their personalities to clash, and pranks and arguments to ensue.

Think The Parent Trap if they stayed at camp the whole time and never switched places.

Just like Tweet Cute, You Have a Match brings the wit which I loved. She also keeps the story relevant by incorporating social media, mainly Instagram. A big part of this story revolves around the family dynamics of Abby and Savvy, Abby and her parents, etc, as they try to define family and answer kind of what a family should be like.

I really love how Emma Lord fleshes out her characters. There’s Abby who loves photography. She’s a do first, ask questions later type of person, but holds herself back when it comes to more important things. We also have Leo who is going to become a chef. He’s Filipino, but adopted so he’s struggling with how to identify with the heritage and family he hasn’t really known. And he’s Abby’s voice of reason. These parts of the characters aren’t just listed off, they’re actually a part of the story. Their personalities and traits are so woven into the story, they’re not just characters—they feel like people. And she does this with all the major characters!

This is also a quick read. There isn’t too much lead in, but it doesn’t feel rushed which is refreshing—Abby finds out about her sister within the first one or two paragraphs.

Overall, a cute read! I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something light and fun with more of a family focus.

Thanks to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

There’s honestly nothing I love more than a book featuring ~sisterly love~ so I was a big fan of this modern take on The Parent Trap. Complete with some classic YA drama and romance (as well as a nostalgic summer camp setting), You Have A Match was the sweetest book to end a crappy year. Bonus points for solid LGBTQ+ representation!

Originally I thought this was a romance, because in my mind the title screams rom com, however this is a YA novel and even though there is a romance aspect this is more so a story of friendship and family.

The story started out a little slow for me but it really started to pick up at the 20% mark once they got to camp. And once it started to pick up I had a hard time putting this book down, I found myself so invested in knowing what was going to happen and I really enjoyed this story.

There are totally part trap vibes in this book and now I feel like I need to go watch that movie. I really liked all the characters in this book, especially the friends Abby makes at camp.

Before I read this I thought I was too old for young adult books but honestly this was a really enjoyable book and since I haven’t yet read Emma Lords first book, Tweet Cute I am adding it to my TBR ASAP!

Also I thought reading this book was really fitting because I got one of those DNA kits for Christmas so now I’m obviously going to be very upset if I don’t end up finding out that I have a secret sibling I can meet up at camp with.

This book comes out tomorrow, January 12th and I definitely recommend giving it a read.

Wow! This was cute and sad and happy and thought-provoking and everything I wish I had in a YA book growing up! The relationships between Abby and Savvy, Abby and her friends, and Abby and her parents are all slightly flawed but perfect at the same time. There are lies and there's hurt, but more importantly, there's communication between everyone and it made my heart so happy when an issue would be resolved!

I also love that Emma Lord writes characters that love fun food creations!

As someone who has taken one of these DNA tests and found absolutely NOTHING new about myself, the idea that I could have found a sibling…OMG. I doubt it would have gone as well as it did in this book.

ok, let’s talk about the amazingness that was this book.

The Characters

Abby and Savvy are complex, multi-dimensional, and clearly well thought out characters. They have so many aspects to them. Savvy could’ve easily fallen into the stereotypical health nut influencer type but once we got to know her, she’s clearly so much more. And Abby could’ve easily fallen into “not like other girls” but she didn’t AT ALL. Ugh, I love them both so much and I love their relationship together. They compliment and fill each other’s gaps perfectly.

I also really like how complicated Abby’s friendships were with Leo and Connie. It wasn’t clear cut and I really like reading stories where friends have issues with one another and how they have to work through them. It’s not only super healthy to show to teens but it’s just refreshing to read over the “we’re best friends forever no matter what” thing. I also LOOOOVED that Abby and Savvy’s friends were also friends with each other. Abby made friends with Savvy’s friends and Savvy ends up friends with Abby’s.

It’s also impossible for me to not like Finn. If there’s a “bad boy” in this book, he’s it and I may be out of my teen years, but I still love that trope like no other. Did I want Abby to actually end up with him??? *whispers* yesssssss. I love how he pushed Abby to have fun even with everything else going on around her.

The Plot

Can you imagine this happening in your life?? Holy shitballs! I mean…I don’t have the best relationship with my parents, but fuck, imagine they’d been lying to you your whole life about a whole ass sibling????? (I still claim that one day, my parents will tell me I’m a witch like Sabrina, but whatever)

I was ready for the showdown between Abby, Savvy, and their respective parents from the very beginning and DAMN, I was not disappointed. THERE WERE SWEAR WORDS!! I was so proud of Abby for just throwing out the “fuck you.” Made me feel like a proud mom lol. The secret was not what I thought it would be but it was very satisfying.

The Less-Than-Great

Ok, this is just a personal thing, but I wasn’t in love with Leo. I didn’t like his possessiveness when he wouldn’t tell Abby how he actually felt. Like DUDE, what are you looking at her like that when she’s with Finn when you can’t get up the goddamn courage to tell her how you feel??? I know it’s realistic for people their age but LEO, don’t be a douche. Abby deserves BETTER. That being said, they did have some very cute moments together.

Overall

Overall, I absolutely loved You Have a Match as much if not more than Tweet Cute (and I LOVED that book). The characters, the conflict, the friendships, the sibling relationships, and everything in between. Cannot recommend this enough. 4 out of 5 stars.

You Have a Match by Emma Lord is out January 12, 2021.

This is a cute read about 16 year old Abby, who with her best friends, takes a DNA analysis test. Her best friend and crush, Leo, is adopted and wants to see if he can find anyone from his birth family. She is totally surprised when she finds out that she has an older sister. The two sisters and Leo end up at summer camp together, where Abby tries to manage her friendship and love interest with Leo, and her relationship with her newfound sister as they discover their parents deepest secrets.

This was a light and easy read about family and young love. The teenage characters were accurately obsessed with social media and gossip. I love how they portrayed the sister relationship between Abby and Savvy. I have two sisters of my own and it's true that a) it can be a love / hate relationship and b) there is a deeper connection that's just there by virtue of being sisters. The love story aspect was innocent and sweet, as you'd expect from a YA book.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a light hearted, uncomplicated read.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

You Have a Match is the perfect feel good read! I literally just feel so happy after reading it.

When I heard Emma Lord was coming out with another book I knew I needed to read it! I absolutely LOVED Tweet Cute and was really looking forward to You Have a Match.

The premise is that Abby takes a DNA test and finds out she has a full-blooded older sister that her parents have never mentioned before. Abby and her sister Savvy decide to meet up at a summer camp and get to know each other and try to unravel the mystery about why they've never heard of each other. Oh also Abby is harboring a huge crush on her best friend Leo who also happens to go to the same summer camp.

The characters just feel so realistic. They have similar worries and concerns to the ones I remember having as a teenager and still sometimes feel as a woman in her mid 20s. Even though my brain kept being just like TELL HIM or TELL THEM in regards to the secrets Abby is keeping my heart totally understood where she was coming from. It is hard to put yourself out there with a crush and to face that your parents are people and you don't know everything about them. .

I think this book is going to be great for teenagers because it really is about coming into who you are as a person and starting to question things and figure out what you need and what you want in life. Though Abby doesn't always deal with things in the best of ways she learns from it and works to do better. I also feel like the book does a good job of acknowledging grief and losing a loved one as well.

This book makes me wish I could go to summer camp and just makes me wanna hang out with my best friends and just makes me feel like I spent one of those fuzzy happy nights with my friends the ones you always see in movies where they play music over it because the important thing is just being with your friends and the feeling of being there. I also just loved all the pop culture references especially the Tuxedo Mask reference.

Thank you to NetGalley, St.Martin's Press/Wednesday Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I was an absolute lover of Emma Lord’s debut novel “Tweet Cute,” and thus was thrilled to read her next book “You Have a Match.” I’m so pleased to say that I loved this book just as much as I enjoyed her first one. Whenever I read Lord’s books I find myself drawn into the characters and their stories. She writes her characters with such details that they feel real and jump off from the page. This story was filled with complicated family dynamics, long kept secrets, and close friend bonds. The plot kept a fast pace throughout and I felt engaged through all of it. And above all, the twist and turns felt natural and realistic. I absolutely loved this book and look forward to reading more of Emma Lord’s work.

I really enjoyed Lord’s first book Tweet Cute so when I got an ARC of her second book I was pretty excited. I thought the premise of a girl finding out her parents have kept the secret of her having a sister her whole life pretty intriguing.

Characters

The main character Abby wasn’t really my favorite but she was alright. She reminded me of your typical YA antagonist and sometimes I found her a little annoying but she was tolerable. I do think she grows a lot throughout the book and by the end I was genuinely happy for her and the way her story ended.

I think I liked Savvy a lot more than her sister. She was little older than Abby and her being the older sister made me relate to her more. She was more refreshing as a character and I’m glad I read the book because I got to know her.

One thing I really liked about this book was the casual representation of LGBT side couples as well as a main couple. The casual way character’s sexual orientation was handled was something I really appreciated.

Plot/Story

The book follows Abby a sixteen year old who finds out she has a full blooded sister she knows nothing about when she does a DNA test for fun. The book follows the two girls meeting and trying to figure out the mystery surrounding why Savvy was put up for adoption.

I really liked that the setting of the book was a summer camp. Reading about Abby’s hijinks at camp was probably one of my favorite things and it made me smile a lot. The mystery of their parents not telling them about each other was also interesting to read about and when everything was revealed I was a little teary-eyed.

Writing

The writing was fine. I was able to speed through the book while I was at work so that was really nice.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed this book and it surprised me with how heartfelt it ending up being. I really liked the family aspect of it and how in the end it all came together. I recommend this if you’re looking for a cute read that will make you forward to summer.
