Title: Since You've Been Gone
Author: Morgan Matson
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Date of Release: May 6, 2014
Goodreads Description: 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 am I waiting? After loving both Amy and Roger's Epic Detour and Second Chance Summer, I'd have to say that Morgan Matson has become one of my favourite YA contemporary authors. Any book written by her is one I'm interested in reading!
Morgan Matson's definitely on my auto-buy list after Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, and Second Chance Summer strengthened my need to read more of her books, lol! I can't wait for this one too! :))

Everyone keeps talking about Amy and Roger and I've haven't read it yet. I feel so out of the loop. I must change that soon!
ReplyDeleteI adored SCS so this goes straight to my wishlist!

I've been waiting for Morgan's third book since she announced it. Loved her other two books and I can't wait to get my hands on Since You've Been Gone. Perfect summer read potential.
