The Unexpected Everything

minor spoilers but i don't think they ruin anything. Just kinda revealing a relationship that happens but it was very predictable from the start of the book so read ahead with caution.

i love you Morgan Matson, i truly do but i can't defend you on this book..... honestly wish i could go back in time to unread this book.

plot:⭐️
characters: Minus a million stars
pacing:⭐️

first thing i want to rant about is the characters. A bunch of evil little teens who have never been disciplined in their lives.

now for a little serious rant.
Toby was the WORST.
Toby treats Wyatt like an object. Ok u have a little crush on him but he's not allowed to reject you? he let you down gently and let you know that he had his eyes on someone else.
Wyatt goes to date someone else because hes human and is allowed to and toby loses it. She rips the friend group apart because WyAtt iS HeRs even though he does not like her in a romantic way.
“you stole wyatt from me” AGAIN HE IS NOT AN OBJECT, no one accounts for his feelings ever.
Wyatt was painted as a bad guy for a natural thing. Damn i'm sorry he doesn't share mutual feelings to you Toby... that must make him so evil right?
All these characters have to tiptoe around Toby and don't see an issue with it. ‘its just how toby is” shes a sociopath bro. Someone needs to tell her off. I don't understand how this entire friend group walks on egg shells around toby but again don't see an issue with it. I can't even explain how bad toby was in this book. Honest to god, if she was real she would probably be a serial killer.
also she treats waitstaff rudely on purpose..... yeah shes a sociopath for sure.



Bree needs a hug. She needs new friends. The only other emotion i felt for this book other than anger was sadness. I just wanted to save bree from these insane people. She didn't deserve any of the treatment she got :( she didn't need to apologise for anything but was forced to because Tobys insane fantasies matter more apparently.


the main characters suck too. they sat there and thought about their feelings towards each other while a dog was painfully dying at their feet. “i wonder how he thinks about me” ok think about that later, the dog is have a seizure at your feet

Clark is a very unrealistic character.
pretentious idiot.

5/5 starsIt's been a while since I've read a simple, cheesy contemporary book. Almost too long, to be honest, as they are some of my favorite books to read. The Unexpected Everything made up for that drought, and so much more. Out of all the Morgan Matson books, I'd have to rate this one as my second favorite ([b:Amy & Roger's Epic Detour 7664334 Amy & Roger's Epic Detour Morgan Matson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327989202s/7664334.jpg 10261814] will always be #1). I loved the characters, the story, the setting. Just everything about it had me smiling. Clark was such a cool character, however he did seem a little unrealistic to me, but that's okay. Now I'm just wishing to find a young, successful fantasy author for myself....

It has been fun reading a cute summer read on a cold winter day imagining the beautiful sunny days... This book is quite slow, predictable, not much going on in the way of a plot but it is still enjoyable and very much fun. This book is all about relationships. Andie and her father who don't even know how to talk to each other when they are together, navigate this tricky time in their lives by trying to communicate, get through their grief of losing her mother, finding new things to do together like watching John Wayne movies and sharing ice cream among other things. Andie's group of friends is amazing and I loved their group chats, inside jokes, emoji texts, scavenger hunts and it really reminded me of some of my closest friends. And finally the romance – Clark. He is a very cute nerd, young and famous fantasy writer, homeschooled socially awkward boy who has very very cute dimples. I really loved reading about him and the way he tried to give all the time Andie needed to open up to him, share her feelings and find happiness in the now without making plans for everything. Andie gives Clark the chance to make new memories with a nice group of friends and it was great to see him having fun with everyone, come out of his shell and find the inspiration for his next book. The cause of all the angst towards the end really frustrated me (Andie.. I am looking at you 🙄🙄) and I would have given an even lesser rating if not for the realistically happy ending.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys happy stories with fun characters, witty banter and good relationships. Just don't look for a great plot and be prepared for a long read.
