You have a Match #Review

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB WINTER YA PICK

A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she'll never forget.

From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship...

When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree climber. Best friend to Leo and Connie…although ever since the B.E.I. (Big Embarrassing Incident) with Leo, things have been awkward on that front.

But she didn’t know she’s a younger sister.

When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it’s hard to believe they’re from the same planet, never mind the same parents — especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself.

The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby’s parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp’s co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything.

But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones.

Review

This book has everything I like most about a YA: romance, journey of growth and self discovery, secrets, relationship with parents. All well-dosed and with a beautiful closure, without affectation and with a lot of sweetness. It became one of my favorites of the year, so much so that I finished reading it and just couldn't review it because I didn't have the words to express all my love.

Abby, Leo, Savvy and Mickey create many interesting situations at camp, make new friends and live the typical teenage adventures with conflicts, doubts and bombastic revelations. Each character has its own drama and decision to make and receives the necessary support at the right time.

I loved the way the writer builds their whole story bit by bit creating the right tension for the reader to get stuck in the pages, connect with the characters and root for them a lot.

5/5 stars

Resenha

Esse livro tem tudo que mais gosto num infantojuvenil : romance, jornada de crescimento e descoberta, segredos, relacionamento com os pais. Tudo bem dosado e com um fechamento lindinho. Tudo sem afetação e com muita doçura. Se tornou dos meus favoritos do ano, tanto que terminei de ler e simplesmente não conseguia resenhar por não ter palavras para expressar todo meu amor.

Abby , Leo, Savvy e Mickey criam muitas situações interessantes no acampamento , fazem novos amigos e vivem as típicas aventuras da adolescência com conflitos, dúvidas além de revelações bombáticas. Cada um detalhes tem seu próprio drama e decisão a tomar e recebe o apoio necessário no momento certo.

Eu amei a forma como a escritora constroi toda a história deles aos poucos criando a tensão certa para o leitor ficar preso às páginas, se conectar com os personagens e torcer muito por eles.
