From Morgan Matson, the best-selling author of Since You've Been Gone, comes a feel-good story of friendship, finding yourself, and all the joys in life that happen while you're busy making other plans.

Andie has a plan. And she always sticks to her plan.

Future? A top-tier medical school.
Dad? Avoid him as much as possible (which isn't that hard considering he's a congressman and he's never around).
Friends? Palmer, Bri, and Toby - pretty much the most awesome people on the planet. Who needs anyone else?
Relationships? No one's worth more than three weeks.

So it's no surprise that Andie's got her summer all planned out, too.

Until a political scandal costs Andie her summer premed internship and lands both her and Dad back in the same house together for the first time in years. Suddenly she's doing things that aren't Andie at all - working as a dog walker, doing an epic scavenger hunt with her dad, and maybe, just maybe, letting the super-cute Clark get closer than she expected. Palmer, Bri, and Toby tell her to embrace all the chaos, but can she really let go of her control?

Lovely story, good narration, just a bit lengthy. Could have told the story in probably half the time, but I enjoyed the secondary fantasy quotes and the fact that there was a writer with writers block featured. Not to mention the love for dogs 👍

Sweet, but a little long

I was needing a light hearted listen and this hit the marks! I didn’t want to stop it and didn’t want the story to end!

Cute and lighthearted

The narrator voice was a bit flat. But appropriate for the story. The story isn’t a very intense story. An easy listen. You can stop and pick back up very easy.

This Story Was Ok.

"You have to try. You have to take your chances. Go and attempt and see what happens. And even if you fail - especially if you fail - come back with your experience and your hard-won knowledge and a story you can tell. And then later you can say, without regret or hesitation... 'Once, I dared to dare greatly”

It was a really cute contemporary and a good mix between drama and fun. The book deals with some heavy topics and how our main character, Andy, is dealing with loss and changes in her life, while learning new things about herself like the fact that you can't always plan everything, sometimes you have to go with the flow because Things will happen! and I loved the fact that not all the issues got solved, because that's real life!
The only thing I would say against it is that I found the first few chapters a little slow, that's why it was not a 5 stars read.

Really cute contemporary

This was a great read!

Andie has a plan, going to her pre-med internship for the summer and avoid her dad. Her dad, the Congressman, who has little to no time for her in the last couple of years since her mum died. But when her summer changes and she has to look for a job she ends up working as a dog walker and spending the summer with her friends and also with her dad... She also meets Clark, a cute boy with the intention of getting to know her better. Andie loves planning so this summer is already out of her control...

I enjoyed this so much. The characters, the story and the final message were amazing.

I knew I would like Morgan Matson's books since I read Since You've Been Gone and I loved it. She's an amazing author and I love her contemporary books.

I loved the friend group in here, they were fantastic and I liked the ending, it felt hopeful and a bit more grown up.

The romance was so cute! It was my favorite part, seeing how Andie was falling in love when she never felt something like that. It was so good.

I also loved Andie with her dad and how their relationship evolves in this book. It was beautiful.

Also so many dogs! Love it.

It was different than what I expected and it was fantastic at the same time.

A grewat read!

What did you love best about The Unexpected Everything ?

Bailey Carr does a great job narrating this YA realistic fiction book about Andie, a teen who has control of her life- a congressman father, good friends, hook-ups with Topher and is looking forward to a summer internship. It all comes tumbling down when her father is suspected of being involved in co-mingling funds. Andie's summer job is gone and she must find a new one. Enter becoming a dog water and oh does everything change for Andie! I loved the story and the narration but listening to 528 pages was at times a little drawn out. This a great realistic YA story about love, friendship and finding yourself.
