Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson - Restarting March 13th 2020

[Rachael]

It kinda made me miss my best friend too!

[C.P.]

I'm about 21% in now and really liking this so far. (view spoiler)[I like that we get to see Emily having to find her own way after living for so long following Sloan's lead. I'm wondering where she is though...Doesn't seem cool not to call your best friend.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I'm wondering the same things!

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[seems like Frank is the love interest but I don't like how has a girlfriend already :( and where the hell is Sloane??? (hide spoiler)]

[Brittani]

Just finished. I really loved it. Makes me want to have the best summer ever :)

[C.P.]

I'm in chapter five now. (view spoiler)[I like the friendship that's starting with Frank. He seems so nice. His parents not so much it looks like. And Emily is growing so much. I like seeing her become more confident. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I'm almost done and I ended up liking it.. I liked watching Emily become her true self rather than the girl she was being when she was "Sloan's other half"

That's what I'm liking so far. She's actually becoming her own person.

[Rachael]

Finished.. I think over all this book deserves only 3 stars

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[She found Sloane?!!! I'm intrigued by what she'll say (hide spoiler)]

it does make me feel that way as well & I loved it too..

[C.P.]

I'm really liking this book! Up to chapter 7 now. (view spoiler)[I'm loving seeing Emily grow and discover who she can be on her own. And her friendship with Frank is great. I also really like Dawn. Even Collins is great. This book makes me want to just grab a list of random things and start doing them. :) <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

I'm at chapter 10 now and really loving this this book. Hopefully I'll finish today. (view spoiler)[I love seeing Emily grow. It's great to see her realizing that who she is with Frank, Dawn, and Collins is really who she is. And how she sees now that there were flaws in her friendship with Sloan that she didn't see before. I mean, we all argue with our friends and have problems, but we need to acknowledge the problems.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Just finished and I loved this book. I was really surprised that I did, but I thought it was great. (view spoiler)[I hats books that have cheating boyfriends and twisted love triangles, but I felt like this one handled that really well. The love story was more about their friendship and then once there was more attraction between them it was handled really well. I didn't ever just hate the situation. And Emily with her building her own personality and growing and making her own friends. It was great. It was also nice to see her and Sloane deal with the issues they were having. Just such a good book.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Okay! I finished chapter 1 and am half way through chapter 2. Where the heck did her friend go? And why is the book skipping around times? I'm a bit lost to be honest.

[Danielle ♥]

I plan to start reading today!!

[Danielle ♥]

I finished Chapter two last night. It's alright so far ... haven't "bonded" with the main chick and the (view spoiler)[apple orchard (hide spoiler)] scene was cute ... however, hard to appreciate prior to knowing if it's a significant scene or not (i.e. was this (view spoiler)[the "apple picking at night" list item? (hide spoiler)]? If so, what was the point of that?). Overall just OK so far, maybe things will pick up soon.

[Danielle ♥]

I'm going to *do my best* to try to stick to this schedule, which allows me two extra days if I get off track. No one else has to follow it, it's totally up to the individual, I'm just trying to schedule myself to help ensure I finish all six books I'm reading by May 31st XD

5/21 Chapters 1-2 (done!)
5/22 3-4 (today!)
5/23 5-6
5/24 7-8
5/25 9-10
5/26 11-12
5/27 13-14
5/28 15-16
5/29 17-18

I'm doing this schedule as well :)

[Jackie]

Finished chapter 4 today - loving the idea of her doing "the list" though I'm not 100% sold on some of the items. Really enjoying Frank as well - he seems like he will be very vital to the story later on

[Danielle ♥]

Finished Chapter 3. It's... cute. I like Frank, but who wouldn't. I like Sloan, she seems like a carefree, happy, fun girl. I lked the story about how Sloan & Emily met, (view spoiler)[a bit ridiculous, but, a cute (hide spoiler)]. Not sure where the heck they're going with the story... & I don't care for Emily; she's like ridiculously awkward, & annoyingly so. I have been picturing Brittney Snow's character in the beginning of John Tucker Must Die, but more awkward.

[Danielle ♥]

Finished chapter 4. It's still… Cute. I'm sure this is all leading up to something, though. (view spoiler)[I feel so bad for Dana! And, I wonder how Frank's girlfriend feels about them running every morning together LOL! (hide spoiler)] On to Ch 4!

[Danielle ♥]

Finished chapter 6. (view spoiler)[Seven minutes in heaven, really? Kinda lame. I did LOL when we found out his name was Benji though XD (hide spoiler)]. And the whole (view spoiler)[the scene at Emily's house, with the play, dragged on ffoorreevveerr... (hide spoiler)] :/ I like Dawn a lot though :) I don't know if it's because I feel bad for her but she seems like she'd make a cool friend.

[Danielle ♥]

Finished Chapter 10. Ok, (view spoiler)[the scene with her trying to brave riding a horse took way too long! (hide spoiler)]! Just started Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[crashing a wedding is on my lifetime bucket list :) I wouldn't do anything obscene to draw attention to me, though, I wouldn't want to have any impact on someone else's best day of their lives (hide spoiler)] lol.

[Danielle ♥]

Finished Chapter 11. On to Chapter 12 ... (view spoiler)[they're seriously going to do this all together? How awkward! I would just go run into the lake in the really late night hours when no one was around, or get Dawn to go and do it with me! Even if they were all "in" on the list, I'd let the guys sit this one out (hide spoiler)] but she is trying to make the best of it, with the towels, hahaha.

Oh my gosh that chapter was so awkward haha. I'm glad she did it but I was cringing when I was reading it

I thought you were still back on Chapter 4 lol!! Are you done?

Danielle wrote: "Jackie wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Finished Chapter 11. On to Chapter 12 ... [spoilers removed] but she is trying to make the best of it, with the towels, hahaha."

No I'm not done yet, but I'm almost there haha. I totally forgot to post things on here and feel stupid.

(view spoiler)[ I'm actually much further and she has already finished the list and has figured out where Sloan went. (hide spoiler)]

[Danielle ♥]

Just finished! I found Sloan's explanation of her disappearance very unsatisfying. The rest of the ending was very predictable.

[Jackie]

I'll be finishing tonight

[[deleted user]]

Going to read it

[Lucy]

Going to read

[Christine]

I'll join you too

[[deleted user]]

Starting soon

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I can already tell I'm going to like this book. It has me already trying to figure out what's going on with sloane. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ yes sloane left a letter behind. Hoping it explains why she is just the way she did.

Frank likes emily by trying to save her brother.

Poor Beckett not getting to do the rest but he did do something stupid and dumb by climbing so high (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ yikes. Why is it that the boyfriend always sleeps with his girlfriends best friend? It's bad enough that the boyfriend cheated but worse to best friend was involved. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ I love the playlists throughout the book. They had a run aspect to the story. I'm finding myself seeing how many I know on each playlist.

And I love that Emily is gaining friends and they are helping her with the items on the list. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I know Frank has a girlfriend but I want him to get together with Emily. They did kiss in the rain (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Done (view spoiler)[ I enjoyed this. I liked the way it was written with it being in present time than flashing back to memories of Emily and Sloane. It was a creative way to look into the past while staying in present time. (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[I don't like Frank! He seems like a creep to me. I also didn't really like this book to begin with, but it's getting better already. I really liked how Sloane and Emily met, that was so cute and fun! :) The chalk on the road, the potentially green hair. Really liked that part. (hide spoiler)]

Me too. (view spoiler)[I kind of want to make these playlists for myself for running. could be fun, right? (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Lindsey wrote: "Done [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I agree on the writing style. I didn't like it that much though. I didn't really like Sloane and I meget connected with Emily. I also feel like something was lussing at the end, something about Dawn and Collins. Frank grew on me though, so that's good!

I guess I'm just not too big of a fan of Morgan Matson's books, I seem to be a bit let down by them. (hide spoiler)]
