Taylor’s family might not be the closest-knit – everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled – but for the most part, they get along fine. Then they get news that changes everything: Her father has pancreatic cancer, and it’s stage four – meaning that there is basically nothing to be done. Her parents decide that the family will spend his last months together at their old summerhouse in the Pocono Mountains.
Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former summer best friend is suddenly around, as is her first boyfriend. . . and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve.
As the summer progresses, the Edwards become more of a family, and closer than they’ve ever been before. But all of them very aware that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance – with family, with friends, and with love.
..and that’s your scoop!

That cover is gorgeous!!!
And I like the sound of this.
Morgan Matson wrote Amy and Roger, right? I think…
LOL anyway, I’m reading Amy and Roger soon, so that’ll probably get me more hyped!
😀
Thanks for the heads up on this!
This book sounds really good, but also sad. While I don’t usually gravitate towards sad books, I’ll probably pick this up because it sounds like there are some happy things that happen in the book, too.
I recently ordered Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour. Amy & Roger were on your list of favorite YA couples (along with Adam & Mia from Gayle Forman’s books *sigh*), so that definitely piqued by interest. I hope to read it soon!
