Matson moved back to California where she attended the University of Southern California and acquired another degree, this one in Screenwriting. It was at The New School that Matson met fellow authors, Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian. įollowing college graduation, Matson moved back to New York to attend The New School where she received her M.F.A.

Halfway through Matson's degree in theatre she started working in the children's department of Vroman's Bookstore and decided to add English as a double major. The move from the east coast to the west coast would later inspire her second novel (her first under the Matson name), 'Amy and Roger's Epic Detour'. Īfter graduating from high school, Matson attended Occidental College in Los Angeles as a theatre major. She has one brother, Jason Matson, who is a lawyer. Morgan Matson was born in New York City on September 19 and grew up in both New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut. And I’m really hoping someone turns this into a movie, it would probably be a success.Morgan Catherine Matson (born September 19), also known under her pseudonym Katie Finn, is a New York Times bestselling American novelist. Once again, Morgan Matson gave us a happy and fun book that will please most people this summer. Save the Date is about family, and how to stay close when everything is changing, how to forgive other people’s mistakes, and how to make the right choice for yourself. I loved the entire Grant family and all their different personalities, and everything they go through during this chaotic wedding weekend.Īnother interesting thing about the story is that it actually opens on the girl kissing her dream boy for the first time but that it isn’t really the dominant aspect of the story. Morgan Matson created an amazing comedy with this book. The first thing about his book is: I HAD SO MUCH FUN.

Even Mike, her closest brother in age, who had a fight with their parents over a year ago and hadn’t been seen since. But the upcoming weekend is going to fix that: her older sister is getting married in the house and the entire family is coming back to celebrate. (see my review on goodreads) 4 stars out of 5.Ĭharlie Grant is the last of 5 kids to still live at home with her parents and she misses her siblings a lot.
