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 support her friend and secret love interest, Leo. After all, she knows who she is already: avid photographer, injury-prone tree climber, best friend to Leo and Connie. 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. 'A YA contemporary set at summer camp? Count us in.' - BuzzFeed 'Heartfelt and engaging, You Have a Match is a masterclass on love in all its forms.' - Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated and Perfect on Paper
