In conclusion, this was a good book and if you’re looking for a quick read by the pool during summer break, this is one we would recommend! However, if you are looking for a book that leaves you pondering after, or something you cannot stop thinking about after you have put it down, I would suggest looking for another author. It was not my favourite, although if you enjoy YA tropes and fast contemporary reads, you will most likely enjoy it! Unfortunately, this was just another fluffy YA contemporary novel that features a privileged white girl, her family and the crush on her sibling’s best friend.

It did have a more important theme accompanying it, but it wasn’t as fleshed out as it should have been. However, unlike most of Morgan Matson’s other works, which touch on heavier underlying themes of death, separation, love and remorse, Save the Date only slightly skimmed the surface. Overall, this was a good read and I flew through this book in two days as it’s incredibly easy to devour. Charlie is left to fix all of the mistakes left by the old wedding planner, and keep things running smoothly.Īs if having the weight of a wedding on your shoulders with the expectation of perfection, a fight with her best friend, the challenge of deciding what university to attend in the fall, is all not enough for a young girl, Charlie is also trying to win the heart of her brother’s best friend, Jesse. Charlie wants nothing more than to have a perfect weekend surrounded by her family, whom she adores, however, as you can guess, this does not go to plan. Charlie sets off with Bill, the nephew of the wedding coordinator, to accomplish the impossible and make sure her older sister’s wedding goes according to plan. Charlie is put in a difficult situation where she has to remedy all of the obstacles that could harm the outcome of the wedding and the temperament of the bride and groom. This story is told over the span of three days, highlighting Charlie’s older sister wedding to her soulmate at their beloved family home. Charlie is obsessed with her older siblings, and waits eagerly for the day that they all return home and she can catch up with them, play capture the flag, and be a family once again. Charlie is a senior in high school, struggling to decide what university to attend next year and she’s in love with her older brother’s best friend. If you have read any other Morgan Matson books and have enjoyed them, Save the Date will not disappoint! It is a classic YA contemporary with its fast pace, which makes it perfect for the upcoming days spent on the beach or by the pool.Ĭharlie Grant is the youngest of give siblings, famous for their mother’s loved comic strip, “Grant Central Station”.
