Also I expected more drama once she found Sloane. It seemed like she just moved on with her life!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-30224982337042475522016-11-06T08:00:27.663-05:002016-11-06T08:00:27.663-05:00I read this a while ago and wasn't a huge fan ...I read this a while ago and wasn't a huge fan either - I reread it as a group read later on and upped my rating to 4 stars from 3, but, tbh, I think I was just getting excited because of how much some of the others liked it haha.<br /><br />I pretty much disliked all the characters, tbh. I'm a shy person & don't want to be in the centre of attention, especially in bigger crowds, but I couldn't relate to Emily one bit. I also wanted HER to learn to be on her own and I felt like that didn't happen, rather she found new people to hang out with and that was that.<br /><br />I also wanted Emily to be more angry with Sloane for leaving without even saying goodbye or any kind of explanation. Wouldn't a normal person be pissed if any of their close friends just left without a word?<br /><br />I think for a novel where nothing HUGE and groundbreaking happened Since You've Been Gone was way too long. <br /><br />Great review, Emily! :)Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-34684507024807893592016-11-05T10:12:22.273-04:002016-11-05T10:12:22.273-04:00Thank you Ruzaika!
