Book Review - Since You’ve Been Gone

📖Recommend for Grades 7 and up📖
by Morgan Matson
Emily has no idea where Sloane has gone. Her friend just disappeared without any warning or explanation. As Sloane was always the one planning what the girls would do, Emily feels lost without her. That is until a to-do list shows up in the mail from Sloane containing tasks like “Hug a Jamie” and “Steal Something.” Emily hopes that by doing completing Sloane’s challenges, she will get clues to what happened to her or that she will be there in the end. As Emily makes her way through the list, she finds herself growing and forming new relationships.

The story alternates between Emily’s life in the present without Sloane and memories of when Sloane, which helps support the feelings she has of not having her friend around. Even though Sloane leaves Emily without warning and no contact other than the letter, readers will find she is a great friend in the way her to-do list helps her. Those who Emily meets away are as superb as Emily. By the end of this book, readers will wish one of their friends would give them a list like Sloane gave Emily.
