Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
2.0
*2.5 stars
To start off with, I wasn't a fan of this book because Frank just annoyed me. I liked the main idea of the story, with the development of the main character and the whole lesson of 'trying new things' and 'going outside your comfort zone', that was all good.
However, at the beginning we meet Frank someplace (I can't even remember) and it's all great. But then he keeps appearing. He won't go away!! It seemed like everywhere Emily went, Frank was there! Don't get me wrong, he was a great character and I had no problem with that, but I just wanted some scenes without him, especially since I didn't really like the friendship/romance they had because it was so predictable that they'd get together, even though he already had a girlfriend, which I know isn't a great reason but something about their relationship just didn't click with me. I didn't ship them at all.
Stuff about the Emily/Sloane relationship also annoyed me. For example, when they had the argument about the underage bar:
Overall, I wasn't that impressed by this, I didn't particularly like the main relationships, and it took me quite a while to get through.

"I could see that [Sloane] didn't understand why I wasn't just agreeing with her."This basically sums it all up.
