Since You've Been Gone
Author: Morgan Matson
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Release Date: May 13, 2014
Number of Pages: 352
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The Pre-Sloane Emily didn’t go to parties, she barely talked to guys, she didn’t do anything crazy. Enter Sloane, social tornado and the best kind of best friend—the one who yanks you out of your shell.
But right before what should have been an epic summer, Sloane just… disappears. No note. No calls. No texts. No Sloane. There’s just a random to-do list. On it, thirteen Sloane-selected-definitely-bizarre-tasks that Emily would never try… unless they could lead back to her best friend.Apple Picking at Night? Ok, easy enough.Dance until Dawn? Sure. Why not?Kiss a Stranger? Wait… what?
Getting through Sloane’s list would mean a lot of firsts. But Emily has this whole unexpected summer ahead of her, and the help of Frank Porter (totally unexpected) to check things off. Who knows what she’ll find?
Go Skinny Dipping? Um…

Why I'm Excited:
I love books that focus on female friendship and this one sounds intriguing to boot. Where did Sloane go? I love that it follows her trying to complete a list of things out of her comfort zone. That cover is super charming, too.

ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title, my first thought was of the Kelly Clarkson song. The description sounds really good.

I really enjoyed Amy & Roger's Epic Detour so I'll definitely be checking this one out. I like the adventure of her doing things on a list that she wouldn't ordinarily do (and some romance along the way)! Great pick! ~Pam

I haven't read anything by Morgan Matson, but Since You've Been Gone sounds great. Love the mystery and friendship in it. Great pick Natalie.
ReplyDeleteI picked this one this week as well! I'm a huge fan of Morgan Matson, and Since You've Been Gone sounds wonderful, especially Emily's list of things to do from Sloane. Great pick!

I adore this cover! I think no matter what age you are, this is going to remind any reader of a thousand fun summers with your bestie. I love how this is a kind of a "bucket list" theme without the whole death factor (which are always sad)---this one just sounds fun and mysterious!
ReplyDeleteI loved Morgan's Amy and Roger's Epic Detour, and I'm dying to read her other Second Chance Summer! This one sounds great too! I love the idea of her friend leaving a random list!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW

ReplyDeleteOh yes! I can't wait to read this one too!

I knew Morgan has a new book coming out next year but I didn't know the title and I hadn't seen the cover. Thanks for sharing, I am so excited for this one!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this book, too! I loved Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, and I've been meaning to read Second Chance Summer for awhile. Excited for the friendship aspect but also for all of those tasks on the to-do list. Great pick!
