Morgan Matson continues to impress me with her honest and achingly real novels. Her characters deal with change and growing up with such authentic emotions and Second Chance Summer is no different. Taylor Edwards hasn’t been to her family’s summer lake house since she was twelve and she doesn’t particularly want to be there this summer either. But when Taylor is confronted with memories and mistakes from the past, she realizes maybe this is her second chance with old friends, family and maybe even her childhood crush. Ms. Matson spins a tale of heartbreak, loss, love and hope with the precise amount of laughter, tears, and affection. I’m already looking forward to her next book.
