"Matson’s characters feel like familiar, comforting friends.... It’s a sweet, leisurely read with a title that, thanks to Kelly Clarkson, begs to be shouted out loud."
Description
For the first printing only! This paperback features sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts.
New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson’s blockbuster novel about a shy teen having the most unexpected summer ever now has a beautiful new look!
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…
