Morgan Matson's 'Save The Date' Is The Book To Read Right Now

scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com

Morgan Matson's new book "Save The Date" is absolutely one of the best books that I have read this summer and it is definitely one that you should add to your reading list ASAP.

This book follows Charlie as she gets ready for her sister's wedding and tries to have the best weekend with all her siblings together while trying to block out her reality of having to prepare for college in the fall. All while trying to deal with her huge crush on her neighbor/her brother's best friend, the cute new wedding planner assistant and to top it all off she's dealing with the ending of her mother's comic about their family and the fight that pushed one of her brothers away. This book is one that truly can relate to so many different people and it has elements that so many of us have either gone through or are going through right now.

Matson did such an amazing job with the character development and creation throughout this book. You truly get to know them and can actually picture this family and the things that go on in the book, it's like you're part of the family. Matson is able to masterfully combine the life of dealing with all the family and wedding issues while trying to juggle the crazy world of preparing to go to college and trying to decide what to do with those decisions.

I literally could not put this book down when I was reading it. It was definitely a 'one more chapter just one more chapter' book and then next thing I knew it was 12:30 a.m. and I finished it the next morning. In addition to the characters, the storyline is done so beautifully that it is just something that you could really see happening.

This book does an amazing job of making you feel like you're a part of the Grant family and for someone who is an only child, it is a really great insight to see the world of siblings and the relationships that can exist there. Matson truly does an amazing job of portraying the realness of family life and the relationships that do and don't exist between family members.

This truly is a great book to add to your reading list and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new book to read or something new to add to their "to be read" list. Morgan Matson's "Save The Date" will definitely be the book you can't put down until you've finished it. It is a beautiful read and a great portrayal of family. Matson expertly covers the struggle of preparing for college and the craziness of a big family wedding. This book will make you laugh and cry and just want to go spend some time with your family.

From the cover to the Grant family comic strips inside to the story of family and big life moments, "Save The Date" is your new must-read book right now and you will not regret reading this book!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
