3.5 stars.
It’s a light summer contemporary read, with funny and realistic characters. The plot was good, the writing and the atmosphere it created really made me feel as if I was experiencing summer — I loved being immersed into the story!
However, there were times that the plot dragged on — it was too slow for my liking, that I had to skip a couple of lines. Despite loving the plot, it was predictable, but that’s why it was a light read. There are no major twist and turns to blow a reader’s mind, it was direct to the point but had the tendency to be repetitive at times.
I loved Clark, he was so simple and uncomplicated, and genuine.
I’ve only ever read one other Morgan Matson book, Amy and Roger’s Epic Disaster but I didn’t like it. I prefer this one much more. If you see my rating/review for Amy and Roger’s on goodreads, please don’t mind it much because I made that when I was still not reviewing books the way I do now — it will not be fair to change reviews now because I haven’t reread that book.

Cute summer contemporary romance. Amazing friendships. DOGS! Great father-daughter relationship development. Funny moments. Summer feelings. A tiny but predictable and a little annoying at one point but other than that another great book my Morgan Matson! Oh and other characters popping up :)

I get annoyed really easily with rich people in books, this was thankfully not like that. Andie is rich and didn't throw around the "feeling guilty about it" bullshit.
It's a good and happy book, BUT, there is a little drama by the end. The trope in which you keep a secret from your friend was brought up and I hate that trope. The texting with the situation afterwards was fun but still...
It was entertaining tho, I loved the scavenger hunt. I don't really wanna criticize the book too much. It's supposed to be fun, and it is. Many characters have flaws and it's cool, they all learn from it. Three stars c:

This is one of my favorite Morgan Matson books! I loved the complex relationships between Andie, her friends and family. Andie's fear of not being able to plan things out and things falling out of place was something that I understood so deeply because that is how I am. But life doesn't work that. It is important to cherish each moment and each person in your life, this book reminded me of that. It is sometimes so easy to get caught up in life or in what you want life to be that sometimes you forget how amazing the unexpected can be. I also enjoyed new aspects of Morgan Matson's writing (I.e Clark, A Murder Of Crows and The Drawing of the Twos) which I absolutely lost myself in. Clark is my favorite male character that I have read in a contemporary in a long time and I want to see more of him. Morgan Matson is one of those authors that is a hit every time. This book should be on everyone's tbr list for the summer.

The book took many turns and twists, leaving me feeling hollow at times and joyous at others. Their friendship is goals and so amazing. Andie, the main character, makes a couple mistakes that I totally judged her on, but that's the point of books. To see another perspective and live as another person. So even though I didn't get why she did some things she did, it was explained enough so that I kinda got the type of person she was. Some of the characters names were too Boy-ish for me. Like Toby? Palmer? I'm pretty sure those are boys names but they're the characters nicknames so I let it go.
The ENDING THOUGH!!! Some parts I L-O-V-E-D and others I cried about. Clark is such a cutie, and every booknerds Dream boy. 4.8/5 stars. 100% recommend!!

Well-done escapist, young adult summer fluff reading. Daughter of a politician spends her summer in an unplanned way.

Despite Andie being the character that I have related more to than nearly any other character of all time, this wasn't my favorite of Matson's books. It was a little slow moving at times and quite honestly, I never truly found Clark attractive.
Aside from that, I loved Andie and her parents. And her mother's unfinished painting. I LOVE Topher and I think his relationship with Andie was so perfect. The classic posse is explored in this book and the friendships that we get to see are extremely well written. Bri, Toby, and Palmer are the best friends that we all wish we were.
Another wonderful book by Matson.
