Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson is an adorable novel about friendships, finding love where you least expect it, and finding confidence in yourself.
"I had decided [...] that if she was there, I wouldn't need an explanation". (p 1). I feel so much for Emily because within the first couple of pages you get a deep sense of how much Emily relies on Sloane.
"I didn't care what I had to promise if it meant Sloane would be there. Because if Sloane was there, everything could start making sense again." (p 2).
I wanted to give Emily a great big hug from the beginning because she tries so hard to be all calm, cool and collected, but like a true introvert going out is a big deal especially since she no longer has Sloane to take the attention off of her.
I love Frank Porter he is now one of my new book boyfriends. It is so sweet how they help each other out and I also love how the more people she tells about the list the more they are willing to help her cross things off of it. I am a sucker for bucket list kind of books and this one reminded me of The F* It List by Julie Halpern especially since both MC do a list that was forced on them by their friends and they both find love unexpectedly. I am so down for that all day every day. I have no regrets except I need more Frank. And Emily is far braver than I ever would be ( I wouldn't even be able to do number 1 on the list: kiss a stranger. How many people would do that?)
5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend.
