I tried to hedge my expectations going in, because the hype honestly sounded too good to be true, but I have to admit that I was pretty surprised by what I found. I’d never read anything by Morgan Matson before, but I’d heard so many rave reviews about her books that it felt like this read was long overdue.
In the most pivotal season of her life, Taylor must learn how to juggle her father’s health struggles and her own need to find a second chance in the lives of her former best friend and boyfriend. The only problem is that Taylor messed up, a long time ago, and Lake Pocono isn’t nearly as welcoming as it once was. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance-with family, with friends, and with love.When Taylor’s father suddenly falls devastatingly ill, his only request for the summer is to take the entire family back to the summer lake house they used to visit every year, when the kids were younger and things were easier. 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. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend.and he's much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind haven't actually gone anywhere. Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. 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. 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.
From the Flying Start author of Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, a powerful novel about hope in the face of heartbreak.
