“Tomorrow will be better.”
“But what if it’s not?” I asked.
“Then you say it again tomorrow. Because it might be. You never know, right? At some point, tomorrow will be better.”

Decided to join in on the cover flipping with one of my favorite books, Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. The real (US) cover is on the left, and my quick design is on the right. Photo was mine.
For those unaware, author Maureen Johnson proposed a small contest for designers to re-create the covers for well-known books if their authors were the opposite gender or genderless, to show the sexism in the publishing industry. It’s a rather eye-opening idea, and there’s some cool covers in the #coverflip tag.

Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour - Morgan Matson
- The first time I saw this at Book sale, I knew that I should get a hold of it so I immediately paid for it at the counter.
- I started reading the other day and finished it yesterday. I really couldn’t stop reading. I thought it was like some other cheesy YA fiction but I was wrong.
- I really love the scrapbook mementos especially the receipts and the pictures.
- I also adore Roger’s playlist. I saw some of my favorite songs and bands like Passion Pit on the list.
- I love Amy’s POV but I wish there was Roger’s too. It was kinda bitin but I really love it.
- Though I haven’t been to any part of US, it made me imagine what it’s like to be there. I hope I could go there one day with my family, friends or someone I love.
- After reading it, I want to go to a road trip again. The best road trip that I ever had was when my family and I went to Ilocos.
- Ad Astra Per Aspera. I want to have a tattoo of these words and I kinda’ wish that Latin wasn’t a dead language.
- It was definitely a good read after my long exam and I don’t mind reading it again. :)

This book. Oh my goodness. I don’t even know where to start.
Morgan Matson out did herself. This book is so beautifully written. I knew going into it that it was going to be emotional, but I had to stop reading at one point because I could no longer read the words. If you haven’t read either this book or Amy and Rogers Epic Detour, you need to get on it, because you’ll fall in love.
