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.

Library book. Just OK for me.
It's about friendship between teen girls, father/daughter dynamics, first love, and dogs! I felt like I should have loved this but it was not as engaging as I'd hoped. It's a me problem because I'm not the proper audience for this book and I know that. Probably a great read for a younger teen.

After some consideration, I decided to rate this with a 2.5 stars.
I'm so very disappointed, having read and loved two other books by this author... but there were just too many things I can't overlook.
It did have a lot of good moments, too. I was enjoying reading this, I was laughing, Clark was cute, the dogs were super cute, it was entertaining... You know, the usual light, fun summer read I always expect of Morgan Matson.
But then, there were little things: the writing was a sloppy in some parts, the transition between scenes were awkward and sometimes confusing (I find myself quite a few times wondering if I missed a page or something) and there were some things that were plain unrealistic:
And the cherry on top of the cake was
I do not recommend this book. If you want to try Matson, go and have a really good time reading Since You've Been Gone and Second Chance Summer.

Famous writer at fourteen? c'mon now. And the fact that at the end, he wrote a book about them? Excuse me, what was that?And the cherry on top of the cake was

BRI AND TOBY, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? I can't even with that plot. I was almost sure that Wyatt liked Bri but I never expected Bri to act like that! I mean, good luck Bri and Toby were the best of friends because imagine if they weren't. Good lord. And the way all of the other characters handle that situation was horrible, my God... that whole plot was a mess, it take A LOT from the book. I hate, HATE when friendships ends because of a romantic interest. I really hope it was worth it to Bri the whole TWO MONTHS they were together -_-I do not recommend this book. If you want to try Matson, go and have a really good time reading Since You've Been Gone and Second Chance Summer.
