Great contemporary YA novel. It was also extremely enjoyable reading a summer-esque novel with a character you were able to actually relate to, as well as with a plot line that wasn't one note. There was the element of taking risks and stepping out of comfort zones with the to-do list, meeting people you "normally" wouldn't, making memorable moments, a little bit of love, and even nontraditional family time was sprinkled in there. I was able to read this book within a day, making it a very quick and carefree read. I would definitely recommend this book if you (1) are in a reading slump (2) need a feel-good book (3) want a "summer" read, if its winter and cold and dreary and you need a pick me up (like me). Only thing I wasn't digging about the book was the ending; I could use a couple more chapters of closure, but it is what it is. Overall, I've never picked up a Morgan Matson novel, but now I can say I'm probably going to be going into a reading binge of her other novels currently out.
