novel second chance summer by morgan matson

OKAY so Taylor and her family head to their lake house, where they haven’t been in five years, because their father only has a few months left to live.

Very few books have actually made me cry out loud, but this book was one of them. This is most likely not going to be a very long review because I kind of just only want to sit here and cry. It was so many different things, all amazing and sad and happy at the same time. Why and how are you so good? I don’t think I can express how much I loved this story. Okay I finished this book less than two minutes ago and am making sure to write this review immeditely. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance-with family, with friends, and with love. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve.Īs the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, they’re more aware than ever that they’re battling a ticking clock. 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.Ĭrammed 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.
