Me too. It will be my third book by Morgan Matson. I'll be starting it next week...can't wait.
I absolutely loved The Unexpected Everything, which I have to say was most… unexpected. I go into details about the characters and their relationships in my goodreads review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

What I first thought was going to be a rather superficial high-school story turned out to be a rather complex story, involving three parallel, but interconnected, story lines. The first story line involves Andie’s group of friends: a group of four tightly-knit girls, and one attached-on boyfriend. The second is the romance (and I guess you could include the summer job) and the third is the dysfunctional relationship between Andie and her father.
The Unexpected Everything has so much of unexpected... well, everything. The three story lines were intertwined throughout and come to a satisfying and climax, which includes some expected, and some unexpected aspects. I laughed out loud throughout and was generally surprised with how much I ended up liking this story. 4.5 Stars

Andie had it all planned out.
When you are a politician’s daughter who’s pretty much raised yourself, you learn everything can be planned or spun, or both. Especially your future.
Important internship? Check.
Amazing friends? Check.
Guys? Check (as long as we’re talking no more than three weeks)
But that was before the scandal. Before having to be in the same house with her dad. Before walking an insane number of dogs. That was before Clark and those few months that might change her whole life.
Because here’s the thing - if everything's planned out, you can never find the unexpected.
And where’s the fun in that?
