Waiting on Wednesday: Since You've Been Gone

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.  "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly anticipating.

 Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
Pub. Date:  May 13, 2014



Goodreads says, "The Pre-Sloane Emily didn’t go to parties, she barely talked to guys, she didn’t do anything crazy. Enter Sloane, social tornado and the best kind of best friend—the one who yanks you out of your shell.But right before what should have been an epic summer, Sloane just… disappears. No note. No calls. No texts. No Sloane. There’s just a random to-do list. On it, thirteen Sloane-selected-definitely-bizarre-tasks that Emily would never try… unless they could lead back to her best friend. Apple Picking at Night? Ok, easy enough.Dance until Dawn? Sure. Why not? Kiss a Stranger? Wait… what? Getting through Sloane’s list would mean a lot of firsts. But Emily has this whole unexpected summer ahead of her, and the help of Frank Porter (totally unexpected) to check things off. Who knows what she’ll find? Go Skinny Dipping? Um…"

Morgan Matson is one of my favorite authors and on my auto-buy list. I absolutely loved Second Chance Summer and Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, so I cannot wait for this one. And that cover is fab...it screams summertime.  What do you guys think?

    This one sounds pretty awesome. I can't but help think of the Kelly Clarkson song at first. LOL. Sounds like a book that I will keep my eyes out for. Come visit me as well.
