If I were reading the physical edition of this, instead of an e-arc, I would be hugging it right now. I fear I won’t be able to adequately convey how this book made me feel, but I will most certainly try, because this book deserves all the love!

This book you guys. I was expecting to love it, but I wasn’t expecting to completely and utterly ADORE it! I was not prepared for all the feels in this story.

I know I absolutely love a book when I’m thinking of all the gushing things I can say in a review before I’ve even finished it. I want to bask in the glory of this gorgeously crafted novel. I want to go to Camp Reynolds and interact with all these characters and breathe the fresh air and experience firsthand the love that is near to bursting there.

But this book isn’t all love and happy feelings. No, there is Drama with a capital D. This book is is like 180 degrees different than Tweet Cute, which I also absolutely adored. You Have a Match is deeper, more meaningful, more raw. It will have you feeling all the things, and then some.

My heart kept aching for Abby and everything she’s trying so hard to handle and understand. There’s Drama with her parents, with her secret sister, with the boy she loves. She feels inadequate when faced with all of these relationships, but that does not stop her from working so hard to make things work. I love this girl so much, her bravery, her awkwardness, her inability to truly see herself, her love for family and friends and potential family and friends.

Even though the Drama seemed a little over the top (do things like that even happen? I suppose they probably do.) all of the characters were full of such authenticity. I could imagine each of these people being real.

I don’t want to say anything about the plot or anything, because this story needs to be experienced and not told. You need to go into this book knowing nothing but the book synopsis so that you can be surprised by the depth and beauty portrayed in this expertly written story.

Oh, the writing. This is what gave all this beauty the ability to shine. There are SO MANY memorable quotes that I want to write down and share and live. But this is the arc and I’m not supposed to share quotes from here because things can change before it’s done being edited. But darn it things had better not change! (Expect maybe the over-used variations of the usage of β€œthere was a beatβ€� and β€œshe deadpans.β€�) The writing was just so beautiful and near lyrical but not so poetic that people who don’t like that writing style wont like it.

Have I convinced you to read this book yet? What more will it take? I know, how about knowing how much this book made me smile stupidly, and cry in happiness, and my heart warm with every sentence and every thought Abby has. READ THIS BOOK! If you love YA contemporary, READ THIS BOOK! If you love deep, meaningful stories of love and hope, READ THIS BOOK! If you love being happy, READ THIS BOOK!
