Morgan Matson Brings the Love in All its Forms in The Unexpected Everything
If you’re a contemporary YA romance fan, there’s a pretty good chance Morgan Matson has broken your heart somewhere along the line—although in her defense, she’s probably put it back together even happy-thumpier than she found it. If there are three things you can count on in Matson’s books, it’s fraught parental relationships, friendship, and a swoony guy. In her fourth and newest release, The Unexpected Everything, Matson combines all three into her swooniest, dad-angstiest, BFF-iest YA yet, complete with my newest book boyfriend and at least one notable cameo. For those who need a refresher on Matson’s evolution, we’ve got you covered.

Andie had her entire summer responsibly planned out when her father’s political scandal got her dropped from her internship. Now she’s stuck trying to find a last-minute gig, which lands her a position as a…dog walker? Andie’s determined to make the best of a bad situation; after all, she has already got her inseparable best friends around. What more could she really want? (Hmm, an adorable dimple-possessing guy, perhaps? One who pushes her to open up and assess her true passions in life, perhaps? One who’s struggling with his own, in fact?) (I’m not gonna spoil who he is but man I wanna spoil who he is.) But as she grows into a surprising romance, an even more surprising career change, and a most surprising new bond with her father, the one group of people she’d always been able to count on starts to crumble. When Andie starts to fall apart right along with them, she learns that sometimes it’s the most unexpected things in life that may be the best for everyone.
