Welcome to Mostly YA Lit’s Unexpectedly Epic Morgan Matson Week (I know, that’s a mouthful)!
I’m so delighted to kick off my weeklong celebration of YA author Morgan Matson’s work. If you’ve read Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour, Second Chance Summer, Since You’ve Been Gone, or The Unexpected Everything, you know that Morgan is an absolute master at capturing the adventure and whimsy of everyday life, the wonder of having great family and friends, and the romances that crop up when you least expect them, the tough parts, the unexpectedly epic parts…
And that’s why I put this week together. It’s not only a celebration of Morgan’s books and writing – it’s a celebration of summer and friendship and family and love and just being grateful for the things that make you happy.
This week, you’ll see reviews, giveaways, and thoughts from me and other bloggers, readers, and publishers on what makes Morgan’s books just click for them, Matson boys, fashion, dogs, and more! And 15 wonderful people around the world will also be taking the #UnexpectedlyEpic dare challenge, doing fun and unique dares inspired by the characters in Since You’ve Been Gone (linky below).
Check out the schedule and follow along and discuss using hashtags #UnexpectedlyEpic and #MorganMatsonWeek! Can’t wait to fangirl with you over Morgan!

The Unexpected Everything was my first Morgan Matson book and I can safely say I’ll read anything she publishes at this point. She became an insta-buy after just one book.
I started reading contemporary YA last year and Morgan has been one author that’s been repeatedly mentioned by friends and I just haven’t gotten a chance to read her books yet. However all that is going to change because I have all her books checked out from the library! Plus a friend gave me an ARC copy of Unexpected Everything so I plan to binge her books soon.
Morgan Matson is one of my favorite contemporary authors. It’s so hard for me to choose between the three books of hers that I’ve read, maybe Second Chance Summer is my favorite, all of her books are really emotional, but I think that was the most emotional for me.
I love Morgan’s books! She has a knack for capturing genuine emotion and making you fall for her characters. Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour is my favourite of hers, but The Unexpected Everything comes in a close second. 🙂
I’m not a fan yet, but I look forward to reading this one! I have read a ton of good reviews for this one!
My first and favourite is Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour, but I’m currently reading Since You’ve Been Gone and I’m really enjoying it! Can’t wait to start The Unexpected Everything, it sounds lovely (:
I love Second Chance Summer!
I’m dying to read The Unexpected Everything. My library has Since You’ve Been Gone and I plan to borrow it soon.

I am not a fan of hers yet but her books seem like really interesting summer reads, especially after seeing all the hype about The Unexpected Everything!
I am a HUGE Morgan Matson fan…I am currently in the middle of The Unexpected Everything (it’s taking me longer to read than I would like as I am in currently in my High School’s musical, something Amy would appreciate), and while A&R is the first of her books I ever read so it has a very special place in my heart, I have re-read Since You’ve Been Gone more times than I should be willing to admit. I do not own Second Chance Summer, so I’ve only read it once (but I am DYING to read it again!)
I haven’t read a Mogan Matson book yet, but she’s been on my radar for a while. I love fun contemporaries!

I love Morgan Matson’s books! I love how relatable the characters are and the summer vibes her books have. I’ve only read Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour and Since You’ve Been Gone so far, but I’m trying to make my way through the list.
I love when you do these author weeks! Just finished up my first year of grad school and The Unexpected Everything is the first book I will be reading to celebrate.
I’ve only read Amy & Roger SO FAR, but I am dying to read more by Morgan. They all sound great and Amy & Roger was fantastic.

I LOVED Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour, and Second Chance Summer was so good that it made me cry. I’m excited to read Since You’ve Been Gone & The Unexpected Everything!
Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour was my first and very favorite Morgan Matson book. Though I’ve read them all, this one is still my very favorite. I also thoroughly enjoyed everything about Second Chance Summer, which was SO MANY FEELS! She’s a favorite author of mine, and for good reason… she’s amazing!! <3
I’m not familiar with her books but they look & sound great.
Yes! I first read Since You’ve Been Gone on Riveted and have been hooked since. I’m reading Amy & Roger now and I have TUE to hopefully read soon!. 🙂
I actually haven’t read a Morgan Matson book but I have heard such good things about all her novels! I’m most intrigued by her books because they seem like such awesome summer contemporary reads. I’ve also heard that some of her books have playlists strewn throughout and I’m a huge music fan!
I love Morgan’s books! She’s so awesome!!!! <3
Morgan Matson is one of my go-to authors. I know I am going to be all warm and fuzzy, and feel pretty happy after reading one of her books.
I haven’t read anything by Morgan Matson yet…but her books seem like really well written contemporary novels with fun characters and meaningful plots, so I can’t wait to finally pick up one of her books!
Yes of course lolol my favorite Morgan Matson book is Amy and Rogers Epic Detour
I’ve only read THE UNEXPECTED EVERYTHING and I really enjoyed it! I definitely think I’m a Morgan Matson fan now!
I have not read any of her books but I am always excited to find a good series of YA books to read! Also, I’d like to share these with my oldest daughter.
I’m her fan in that I think she’s an interesting person, but I haven’t read any of her books before. They’ve been getting such good buzz that I’m intrigued. Though I don’t normally go for YA contemps, I am always tempted by a good story regardless. 🙂
LOVED The Unexpected Everything. I have Second Chance Summer and Since You’ve Been Gone from the library, and I’m so excited to get to them. Thanks so much for doing this!!
I’ve never read a Morgan Matson book, but I’m so excited to try one! I’ve only ever heard amazing things!
I am an MM fan. My favorite is Amy & Roger, but I sort of love them all.
LOVE Morgan so much!! Since You’ve Been Gone has been an all-time fav and after reading The Unexpected Everything, it’s right up there as well! Have yet read Second Chance Summer and Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour, but hoping to! ❤️
Yes, I’m a huge Morgan Matson fan! I’ve read all but Second Chance Summer. My favorite is probably Since You’ve Been Gone. Thank you for the giveaway! I’ve read her books via eBook & the library.
I love Morgan’s books!!
I’ve had a librarian recommend her books to me so I’m excited to read them!
I haven’t read any of Morgan’s books yet, but I’m hearing great things so they’re definitely being added to my already teetering TBR pile!
I haven’t read any of her books, but I’m thrilled to give this Contemporary YA books a go! I’m enjoying fantasy, fiction, dystopian reads!
