myntop 's review for:

The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson
4.0

I picked this book up at the Dollar Tree of all places. I thought it looked interesting and I was right. There was such a good mix of friendship, romance, parental relationships, grieving, moving on, and dealing with the future. Andie has to decide what to do after circumstances change and she doesn't get to follow her carefully laid plan. It ends up being the best thing for her, she has to adapt and learn how to roll with change and make new plans, or even live without a plan!

I do wish we'd had more of a definitive closure with the story line between Bri and Toby, but it's an eye opener for younger readers who think their friendships are going to last forever. The hard truth is that some do not, sometimes we grow apart as people and it's sad and difficult, but it happens and we need to learn from it and grow as our own person.

I would love to see what happens with Topher in the future. If the author ever decides to return to this world she's created, I hope she considers giving us a Topher book.

This was my first by this author, but I'm now interested in reading more.
