I struggled with this book because I am a lot older now than I was when I originally read Morgans books. I’ve loved a lot of her other books, but this one wasn’t it for me. I am now 27 and reading about high school was not something I wanted to do. I also didn’t love the drama department setting. As a former drama kid I didn’t care for Kat, she was not super likeable for me because I knew kids like her in high school.

I think this book is targeted towards a different demographic. I grabbed it because like I said earlier I loved her books when I was younger. Unfortunately it wasn’t a great fit this time around.

The concept is fun and I liked Kat and Stevie’s friendship a lot, I just couldn’t get through this one.

I was super excited to be approved for this one as I've loved some of Matson's other works in the past (Amy and Roger's, Second Chance Summer, Since You've Been Gone), but this one just wasn't for me. It felt too long and it didn't have the emotion that I found her other books to have. I really wish I liked this one more but I think if you like Matson's other works, you'll like this one too!

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Take Me Home Tonight in exchange for an honest review.

Take Me Home Tonight is full of off the wall plot twists, massive coincidences, and a whole lot of zany coincidences. While it was well written, I couldn't help but spend most of the book thinking about how much better the story and pacing would have felt in a film format instead of a book one. It's a fun read, but something about it always felt that little bit off.

A huge thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I have always been such a big fan of Morgan Matson’s work, and I was highly anticipating this new release. I think it’s because of my high expectations, that I felt a little let down by this story. This is by no means a terrible book, it’s wonderful and a very enjoyable story. I was just expecting more.

One of the biggest problems I had for this novel was Terri’s plot. I initially liked the idea of having the plot, but it soon turned into something that seemed absolutely unrealistic and not contributing to the main plot of the story in any way. In the end, I was just annoyed and didn’t really understand the purpose of that part.

For Kat and Stevie, I did really enjoy the overall story line and the issues that they faced when they were separated. I think that they have a very good and strong friendship, and that was very evident in this story. I also enjoyed seeing Stevie learn to get along with her step siblings and fix her relationship with her father. Those were some very important elements to the story, in my opinion.

Overall, Take Me Home Tonight was definitely an enjoyable story, look out for Morgan Matson’s new release May 4th, 2021!
