Since You've Been Gone ~ Review

I was definitely Emily back in the day and I only wish that I had a Sloane in my life.  I think the list did just what Sloane intended it to do.  It broke Emily out of her shell and her comfort zone.  Sloane wanted Emily to move on and make new friends and through the list Emily accomplished just that.  

I found the characters to be quite relatable.  The story flowed well and was well written.  My favorite character was Collins.  Why? Because he was despicable and endearing at the same time.  He put on this macho façade but he all he really wanted a girlfriend who loved him for him.  Who didn't want that in HS.

Before Sloane, Emily didn’t go to parties, she barely talked to guys, and she didn’t do anything crazy. Enter Sloane, social tornado and the best kind of best friend—someone who yanks you out of your shell.

But right before what should have been an epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. There’s just a random to-do list with thirteen bizarre tasks that Emily would never try. But what if they can lead her to Sloane?

Apple picking at night? Okay, easy enough.

Dance until dawn? Sure. Why not?

Kiss a stranger? Wait…what?

Getting through Sloane’s list will mean a lot of firsts, and with a whole summer ahead of her—and with the unexpected help of the handsome Frank Porter—who knows what she’ll find.

Go Skinny Dipping? Um…
