Publication: May 4th 2010 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Goodreads Synopsis Amy Curry is not looking forward to her summer. Her mother decided to move across the country and now it's Amy's responsibility to get their car from California to Connecticut. The only problem is, since her...
3.75 stars (just to be awkward). I liked the road-trip aspect and their diversion from Amy's mums plan for them. I liked their gentle roll into something more than friendship. I liked a lot of the people they met on their detour. What I wasn't so keen on was the ending. I like a definite HEA and...
Unfortunately my love of Since You've Been Gone, one of Morgan Matson's other books, did not carry over to this one. It was alright. Just alright. I thought the idea of a road trip across the states was fun, but I think I would have appreciated this more if I actually lived in the US. I love road tr...
I really enjoyed this book. It made me want to go on a road trip just for the sake of going on a road trip. I liked the extra stuff in the book like the pictures I feel like it added a little more to it. This story wasn't as cute and fluffy as I thought it would be but I still thought it was a go...
I knew that I was right when I decided to save this book for summer because it proved to be the perfect summer book - even though it was read during a cold, rainy day. Amy Curry's normal, somewhat boring life ends when her father dies in a car accident during a normal, boring afternoon. The life she...
I found this book while looking for road trip reads for a reading challenge. Sounded okay so I figured it would do for some light fluff. Turned out to be one of the best books I have read this year. There is nothing about this story that I didn't love.I loved the characters, the story and all the di...
I have been wanting to read this for quite some time now and I'm really glad I finally did. I've been hearing very good things about it. It definitely lived up to its hype. Cute, fun, and a great summer read. Amy's dad has just passed away, her twin brother Charlie is in rehab, and her mother is a...
First of all, I need to say this again, YA/NA is not my genre. So I cannot really compare against 'better' books or books with similar plot whatsoever. In that sense, this books feels different for me. Rather than focusing on romance or falling in love, this feels more like a journey of healing and ...
I wanted to read Morgan Matson’s second book, Second Chance Summer, first, but this book was at the library first. And I’m kind of glad it was. This book certainly has its sad and emotionally heavy scenes, especially when you flash back to the scenes where Amy’s dad is still alive, but it was the ...
