Since You've Been Gone | Morgan Matson

Emily was ready to spend the summer with her best friend Sloane, but when summer came, Sloane and her family disappeared without a trace. Just when Emily thinks all hope is lost, she receives a list in the mail from Sloane - thirteen things Emily likely wouldn't do without Sloane's prompting. If she completes the list, will she find Sloane?
Overall, this was a cute and tame book about older teenagers. Emily's parents are preoccupied ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick with writing a play, so Emily has the freedom to complete the list with little interference. Early on, Emily makes a few new friends who help her cross items of the list, and thank goodness she does. Emily doesn't have much of a life outside of Sloane. We see Emily become comfortable with being herself, not who Sloane wanted her to be.
The current storyline was stronger than the flashbacks to include Sloane in the story. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Unless Emily is just that shy, which it doesn't seem that way, I just didn't see much about their friendship that would cause Emily to be so enamored of Sloane that they had no other friends. It's a light pick for me.

I‘ve not read much historical fiction from this time period, and I liked how each character explored a different aspect or event of 1969.
