A BEST YA PICK OF 2021 BY POPSUGAR * PARADE
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.

Grades 9-12 Left to her own devices, white, probably Irish Abby wouldn't have done a DNA test. But Leo, one of her best friends, is adopted and curious about his Filipino roots. Things have been weird between Abby and Leo lately, so she's eager to take the test and support him. What she doesn't expect is to uncover a full-blooded sibling. Instagram-famous Savannah lives nearby and is only a year older than Abby, but the sisters are a mystery to each other?and they're determined to uncover their parents' secrets. All roads converge at Camp Reynolds, which Abby attends for SAT prep and where Savvy is a rule-following, workshop-leading junior counselor and Leo is a chef. Abby, who's struggled to focus on anything except photography ever since her beloved grandfather died, forges a tentative connection with Savvy even as her relationship with Leo unravels beneath her unspoken feelings. Lord (Tweet Cute, 2019) offers up rich characterization in her sophomore novel, which looks at love?romantic, familial, friend, self?in all its complicated forms. A bright summer tale of connection and self-discovery.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)

Gr 7 Up-Family secrets and self-exploration are at the heart of this novel about Abby, a rising high school senior who finds surprising family news through a mail-order genetic test. After completing tests with her two best friends, Abby is contacted by Savvy, another teenager, who shares that Abby's parents are also Savannah's biological parents. The girls meet and decide to attend camp together to piece together their family history. Throughout the book, characters focus on finding their passions, and Abby and her best friend Leo fall in love. While the camp setting is unrealistic at times, Lord's descriptions of the Pacific Northwest are rich with sensory details. Abby and Leo's romance is tender and sweet, and full of realistic misunderstandings. The topic of adoption is a necessary one in YA literature, but this portrait leaves much to be desired. Abby and Savvy are not the only characters with an adoption story-Leo was adopted from the Philippines by a white family at birth, but his story is given short shrift; his emotions about it are only mentioned periodically and go largely unaddressed by Abby. Lord's juxtaposition of the two adoption stories centers the experience of the white adoptee over the transracial Filipino adoptee and creates an imbalance, rather than a diverse and nuanced story. VERDICT This book serves up intriguing family drama, beautiful sensory details, and a swoony romance, but leaves the reader unsatisfied. Recommended for secondary purchase only.-Susannah Goldstein, The Brearley Sch., New York City

A DNA test reveals that Abby has a sister she never knew about--and they head off to summer camp together to uncover family secrets. When 16-year-old Abby's best friend and secret crush, Leo, asks her to do a mail-in DNA test with him, Abby mostly agrees to give him a little push, as he clearly wants to find out more about his birth family. While the results don't help Leo, they bring a shocking result for Abby: She has a full-blooded sister, 18-year-old Instagram wellness star Savvy, who lives in another Seattle suburb. After meeting and realizing their respective parents used to be friends, the two girls decide to meet again at summer camp. Unfortunately, camp gets off to a rough start; Savvy is a stickler for rules, Abby didn't read the rules in the first place, and Leo is a camp chef, which only intensifies Abby's feelings for him. With a summer full of new friends, hijinks, delicious food, and digging up secrets, Abby has to learn to lean in and own up to the complicated parts of life. This is a heartwarming novel of friendship and family, with a little romance. The story and characters have depth and emotion, touching on topics of broken friendships, losing a loved one, deception, social media, and pursuing what you love. Abby, Savvy, and Leo's adoptive parents are White; Leo is Filipino. A cute, feel-good coming-of-age story. (Fiction. 12-16)COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
