From the Flying Start author of Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour, a powerful novel about hope in the face of heartbreak. Taylor Edwards’ family might not be the closest-knit—everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled—but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor’s dad gets devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend one last summer all together at their old lake house in the Pocono Mountains. Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, they’re more aware than ever that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance—with family, with friends, and with love.

I have done it! I read all of Morgan Matson's books! This one was very good. The synopsis already got me into the book, I just had to read it. The events were definitely something I liked about Second Chance Summer. The characters were something else I really liked and that's that. If you haven't read any Morgan Matson I would definitely start with this one.

Amy and Roger's has been sitting on my shelf for awhile so I thought it was time I got to it already. This book was honestly not bad. The road trip aspect of it and I enjoyed that. The characters seemed pretty legit and were very enjoyable to read from. If you like road trip books and the "finding yourself" books then go for this one. :)
