Emma Lord has built a following in the YA romance space with a string of standalone novels that share a warm, funny tone but can each be read independently. Tweet Cute kicked things off in 2020 with a social media rivalry that turns romantic, and You Have a Match followed in 2021 with a story about a girl who discovers a secret sibling through a DNA testing app. When You Get the Chance (2022) follows a theater-obsessed teen on a hunt for her biological mother after finding her dad’s old LiveJournal.
Begin Again (2023) takes the action to a college campus, while The Break-Up Pact and The Getaway List, both published in 2024, continue Lord’s move toward slightly older protagonists and settings. All of her books share common strengths: fast-paced dialogue, likable characters with clear goals, and a reliable emotional payoff. Readers who enjoy one title will likely want to work through the rest, even though no particular reading order is required.
