Which is refreshing after reading so many of the same story told with different characters. There’s more to it than a boy and a girl. Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson, is not your classic teen summer romance book. And maybe some romance along the way too. But skinny dipping and kissing a stranger? Really Sloane? And why does she keep running into Frank? The perfect student who just wants to save the world, and maybe her too? In Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson, Emily’s in for a whirlwind of life changing events, new friendships and new experiences as Emily is pushed past her bonds, thrown into a wild and possibly life changing summer in hopes of finding her best friend. Emily sets out to complete the list and find her best friend. It a “must do” list for Emily and the only thing she has left of her best friend. This isn’t the first list from Sloane and it’s defiantly not a grocery list. But there is a list, a list that comes in the mail. No explanation, no good bye, no future address. But that all changes when the summer before their senor year, Sloane and her family leave with out a word. They spend every waking moment together, so it all works out. But Emily doesn’t mind, she has Sloane who talks to other people to make up for her shyness. ![]() That and she is pretty fast, given her track record. And that is all most people know about her. ![]()
