Review: The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson

The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson (May 2016)
517 pages
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Source: I bought it at BookCon and met the author!
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | The Book Depository
My Rating:

Goodreads Summary: Andie had it all planned out.

When you are a politician’s daughter who’s pretty much raised yourself, you learn everything can be planned or spun, or both. Especially your future.

Important internship? Check.

Amazing friends? Check.

Guys? Check (as long as we’re talking no more than three weeks).

But that was before the scandal. Before having to be in the same house with her dad. Before walking an insane number of dogs. That was before Clark and those few months that might change her whole life.

Because here’s the thing—if everything’s planned out, you can never find the unexpected.

And where’s the fun in that?

My Review

I was looking for a perfect summer read and The Unexpected Everything delivered. Just look at that cover! It screams summer.

This book is for dog lovers, summer romance supporters, best friends, and anyone who appreciates a cute nerdy boy. The Unexpected Everything features all of these things and even more wonderfully perfect summer themes.

Andie has her summer all planned out. She has a prestigious summer internship all lined up and everything all planned out. Then her father becomes involved in a political scandal and all of her summer plans fall through. She is now scrambling to find a summer job, and her options are slim. Then she does something unexpected, and she has the summer of a lifetime. It was a whole lot of fun reading about her summer activities. Andie takes a job she never thought she would. She is forced to spend time with her once distant father. She falls for a nerdy (who I am sure will be your next book boyfriend) and wonderfully sweet guy. She goes on an unforgettable scavenger hunt, and other interesting adventures. There is a lot of cuteness, some laughs, drama, and learning what it means to live in the moment.

I loved The Unexpected Everything and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect summer read. This one will give you the feels guaranteed, and probably a new book boyfriend to boot.

A Straight To The Point Review: On The Fence by: Kasie West

On the Fence by: Kasie West (July 2014)
296 pages
Genre: Young Adult/Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Harper Teen
Source: I bought it!
Purchase: Barnes and Noble | The Book Depository | Amazon
Goodreads Summary: For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows—including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.

To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.

My Review

On the Fence is a contemporary romance you don't want to pass up.

Here is why...

Kasie West wrote it. She never seems to write anything that is less than amazing.

It is full of sibling banter. The main character, Charlie, has three older brothers. Every single character in On the Fence is easily likable.

It is sweet, adorable, and everything you could ask for in a romance novel.

I sincerely enjoyed the friend to boyfriend plot line.

It made me laugh, get teary eyed, and say awwwww with a smile on my face.

Bottom Line: I can't wait for West's next book!
