The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson

GoodReads Summary:
From Morgan Matson, the bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone comes a feel-good story of friendship, finding yourself, and all the joys in life that happen while you’re busy making other plans.
Andie has a plan. And she always sticks to her plan.
Future? A top-tier medical school.
Dad? Avoid him as much as possible (which isn’t that hard considering he’s a Congressman and he’s never around).
Friends? Palmer, Bri, and Toby—pretty much the most awesome people on the planet, who needs anyone else?
Relationships? No one’s worth more than three weeks.
So it’s no surprise that Andie’s got her summer all planned out too.
Until a political scandal costs Andie her summer pre-med internship and lands both she and Dad back in the same house together for the first time in years. Suddenly she’s doing things that aren’t Andie at all—working as a dog walker, doing an epic scavenger hunt with her dad, and maybe, just maybe, letting the super cute Clark get closer than she expected. Palmer, Bri, and Toby tell her to embrace all the chaos, but can she really let go of her control?
Review:
I picked this book up for the latest round of Tome Topple. I thought this was a fun contemporary but nothing that blew me away. As with any book, there were things I liked and things I didn’t.
I mostly liked Andie. Sometimes she was a little annoying, but mostly I liked her. Once she really started to enjoy dog walking and where summer might take her I liked her more and more. I wanted her to pull her head out of her ass when it comes to relationships though. I didn’t like her serial dating and occasional hookups.
I loved her friends. I thought they were such a fun friend group. I definitely want to have a scavenger hunt now because of this book. I think their dynamic was such fun. I also thought the conflict was realistic, though sucky. I didn’t like that there wasn’t really reconciliation in this area, but we can’t get everything we want in life.
The romance was enjoyable. I loved having a writer as the love interest. It made me want to stop reading and go to work on my own book. I think Clark was my favorite character because he was the one I personally related to the most. I’ve been through the same struggles we see him deal with within this story.
Overall, this book was fun and despite its size, a quick read. I definitely think this would be a good beach read.

Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.
