Over spring break, one of the books I read was Since You've Been gone by Morgan Matson. I held back a little on reading due to the cover, but the cover photo was also one of the things that made me want to read the book more.
This book is about Emily, who's best friend Sloane goes missing all summer. A few days after Emily decides to accept that Sloane is gone and she'd return after summer for school, Emily receives a letter. A list. From Sloane. Sloane had wrote Emily another list of things to do for this summer, with no return address. Nothing but a crescent moon and a palm tree in the left-hand corner.
As I continued turning the pages, the exciteder I got. I was excited to find out where Sloane was, I was excited to see what Collins or Frank would do, if Emily would finish the list, if her parents' play would turn out good. I was able to hypothesize, and to the end, most of mine came out true! This was a definite quick read, that of course gets you pumped for summer.... (I can't wait to see how my summer turns out (if it'll turn out as great as Emily's.)) I would definitely give this book a 5/5, and I think any girl should read this. I genderize my recommendation because I don't think a boy would enjoy reading about this as A) it is from Emily's point of view and B) this book is kind of considered chick-Lit. But definitely for anyone looking for a book that flies by!
