Book Review #6: Since You've Been Gone

Since You've Been Gone

By: Morgan Matson

Emily is pretty much your normal teenage girl, she likes to shop and go to parties and she likes being with her best friend Sloane. Sloane however, is not so normal, she likes normal things like Emily, except she has this weird obsession with bucket lists. Every time Emily goes on vacation she gets a letter from Sloane and every time it’s a list of things to do.
This list is different. Sloane has suddenly disappeared and she isn’t replying to any texts or emails. Two days after Sloane goes missing Emily gets a letter from Sloane and it’s a list that goes something like this:
1. Kiss a stranger
2. Penelope
3. Ride a darn horse, you cowpoke
4. 55 S. Ave. Ask for Mona
5. The backless dress. And somewhere to wear it
6. Share some secrets in the dark
7. Dance until dawn
8.Hug a Jamie
9. Sleep under the stars
In her quest to find Sloane  Emily meets Frank Porter. Frank Porter is the student body president for 3 years running, the smartest person at school, and Frank is undeniably handsome. As Emily crosses things off the list, she realizes she is falling for Frank Porter. Can Emily find Sloane before the summer is over?
