Save the Date | Morgan Matson
From the author of Since You've Been Gone and The Unexpected Everything comes another compelling novel full of romance, characters that leap from the page and summer adventures. Charlie Grant has grown up in the public eye kind of. Her mothers popular comic strip, Grant Central Station, has featured a family very much like the Grants maybe a little too like them, often depicting things that happened in their real lives sometimes with disastrous results. So it's no surprise she tries to keep the rest of her life as normal as possible. Hanging out with her best friend, pining for Jesse Foster, who shes loved since she was twelve and generally flying under the radar as much as she can. But sometimes normal is just another word for stuck, and this weekend that's all going to change. Not only will everyone be back home for her sisters wedding, but her mum's final comic strip is running, marked by a big public ceremony. And if that wasnt enough for a weekend, shes also juggling: - a rented dog that just won't stop howling - the cold snap nobody saw coming for an (outdoor) wedding - a papergirl with a vendetta - an unexpectedly hot wedding-coordinators nephew - her favourite brother bringing home his HORRIBLE new girlfriend - fear that her parents marriage is falling apart - the decision shes been avoiding on where (or if) she wants to go to college - and the return to town of the boy shes loved practically all her life Over the course of four days Charlie will learn there's so much more to each member of her family than she imagined, even herself, and that maybe letting go of the things she's been holding on tightest to can help her find what really keeps them together.

It seemed like the second you tried to tell someone why you loved someone else, it took the luster off it, like pinning a butterfly down in a case—it never quite captured it.

#BookReport - Along with the checked books, I also read Murder at Mayfair Hotel. A solid reading week but nothing that blew my mind. I just started the tagged book last night so hopefully will finish that one this weekend. The unchecked books on the bottom stack are still ongoing as well. I'm already convinced Middlemarch is never going to end 😂

DivineDiana I felt the same way about Middlemarch! Bu I persevered and feel a sense of accomplishment. Good luck! 2y

Because, it would have been cheating, in a way. You don't get to freeze the picture when you want it. It would have been living in the past and eventually, you just start doing the same jokes over and over again.

Finished this a couple days ago. It was a fun read for the most part, but so many people to keep track of. And one disaster after another Kept befalling the wedding, but luckily it seems Charlie was able to figure things out. Love the family dynamics too.

I‘ll give it a 3/5. It was fun, but overly unrealistic from my point of view. The eye openers at the end were good and very much needed, I just wished there was more into them.

Not may favorite by Matson, but cute and fun and perfect light reading for vacation. Kind of a mash up of Father of the Bride and Sixteen Candles in a way. @BookishMarginalia #LitsyAtoZ:M #abecedariantbr

This was a sweet comedies that hit all the right marks! The dialogue was entertaining, there was a nice balance of conflict and humor and following people pleasing Charlie around while she tries to save her sister's wedding is a whirlwind! Some of the subplots were a little underdeveloped and sporadic but overall I will definitely read it again when I need a good laugh! #MorganMatson #SaveTheDate

Hi everyone! I finished reading Save the date. This wasn't my favorite by Morgan Matson. I still really enjoyed it. It was very funny everything going wrong for her sister's wedding. I definitely wouldn't want my wedding to be that stressful. Overall I really enjoyed it. I wish there was a little more romantic parts for the main character. I also didn't think it was very realistic having a 17 year old fix everything for her older sister.

This book was absolutely wonderful. I have not laughed so much while reading since Pucked. Charlie is super excited to have her family back in town for her sister's wedding. She wants to make the most of this family time but the real question is if she can keep the train on the rails. There are so many family dynamics at play on this book. This is a fun read that I am so glad I stumbled across.

I took another recommendation from LovelyLikeLaura and decided to read my first Morgan Matson book. And I was definitely not disappointed! I love how fun and lively her writing is. I was laughing and feeling sad at just the right parts and I almost forgot it was a book. Looking forward to reading my next MM book!

Very cute and touching ya rom com. Some of the pre wedding mishaps could have been edited out because it was just a bit too much. But I really liked how Charlie started to see her family and friends for who they really were instead of romanticized versions of themselves. This would make an excellent movie and I‘m now curious about the author‘s backlist.

I love Morgan Matson books, I really do BUT this was kind of a let down. I started this book a while back and really loved it, so naturally I was excited to continue reading but I was just not feeling it. The whole idea is just not practical, why would all the problems of a wedding be handle by two kids - seriously?!? Usually I love the drama and disasters in books but this was just too much!

Loved this story! I‘m sucker for books that take place over a few days. I like the idea of getting snapshots into people‘s lives. The copy i had, had bonus material at the end, and that just made it all the better! If you like a book with good family dynamic, i would recommend this book!

“And sometimes the harder you try to hang on to something, the less you can see that.”

"You don‘t get to freeze the picture when you want it. It would have been living in the past, and eventually, you just start doing it over again."

It's a good book if yiu love overly dramatic written stories. There were some parts that I like but then at the middle of the story, I found myself getting irritated to the train of events.

Happy sock Sunday! I just finished #SaveTheDate by Morgan Matson. It‘s a cute quick read but it feels more like it should be a movie than a book. I enjoyed the family dynamic but it was a little unrealistic and overly dramatic for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5⠀

Does anyone else feel like Morgan Matson‘s books are a little too long? Like there is too much fluff in its fluff? I just wish they were a little tighter.

Bostonmomx2 I just finished this one. I didn‘t really think it was too long but I felt like the constant wedding disasters were a little tedious. I was wanting more love drama with Charlie. The whole thing with Jesse just sort of fizzled out oddly. 6y

IheartYA I agree. Fun fluff. Not much substance. I did like the MC but wanted more from the before and after. 400 pages was too much for just, what, 3 days? I might try Matson's other work because I like her writing style. 6y

This was cute. Not a book I would have usually chosen but it was this month's uppercase pick. I enjoyed the characters and writing style. Everything that could go wrong did, some of it humorously. I generally don't like a story that takes place over a few days as they seem rushed. I would have liked more before and after of the MC.

I'm still in a depressive slump and maybe tracking will help me so I made this log. My goal at the beginning of the year was to read at least 100 pages a day and the year started off great. I'm going to add these pages to my swap and pen pals binder. 🙂 Today, I'm at 60 pages so far for Save The Date from my #uppercasebox subscription. #ya

Morgan Matson proves to me, once again, that she knows how to spin one hell of a summer teen contemporary. I loved following along with Charlie through all of the chaos and enjoyed the cameos of some well loved characters from her other books. Can't wait until next year!

I took my cousins from Scotland to our (IMO) crappy used book store that also sells new today. She bought me this book against my will (I hate it when people buy me stuff lol) and then I got home to find a little thank you gift from my bff who just stayed with me for 10 days - these socks and gift card to Red Robin! Fun day!!
