Charlie is a senior in high school, struggling to decide what university to attend next year and she’s in love with her older brother’s best friend. If you have read any other Morgan Matson books and have enjoyed them, Save the Date will not disappoint! It is a classic YA contemporary with its fast pace, which makes it perfect for the upcoming days spent on the beach or by the pool.Ĭharlie Grant is the youngest of give siblings, famous for their mother’s loved comic strip, “Grant Central Station”. Despite their issues, I’d love to be part of the Grant family! I also think it would be a blast to read the column.Morgan Matson is back with a new young adult romance, which was released on June 5th 2018. It’s much more of a story about family dynamics than it is a romance. And that’s fine (even good! not everything has to be a romance!) but it was a little surprising, especially since I’ve seen this advertised as… romance. I kept expecting that romance to show up based on other books I’ve read from Morgan Matson, but it never did. It’s also funny! Especially toward the end, I was laughing out loud.īut it’s not a romance. The book plays out a lot like Sixteen Candles, with the houseful of guests and all the shenanigans. It’s Charlie’s older sister’s big day, and just about anything that could possibly go wrong does. I love Morgan Matson and this book sounded so cute! I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently, so it took me a little while to get into it, but it was so worth it once I did. Without a doubt, Save the Date was one of my most-anticipated YA releases of 2018. And she’ll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like it was in the past means missing out on the future.

Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And the wedding planner’s nephew is unexpectedly, distractingly…cute. Not to mention the neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on drenching everything. There are the relatives who aren’t speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge. The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster. She wants to focus on making the weekend perfect. Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting with longstanding crush Jesse Foster-all that can wait. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again.

Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend, before the house is sold and everything changes. Charlie Grant’s older sister is getting married this weekend at their family home, and Charlie can’t wait-for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof.
