About this eBook
Emily is about to take some risks and have the most unexpected summer ever. Hellogiggles.com says, “Basically I couldn’t be more in love with this book,” from the bestselling author of Second Chance Summer and Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour.
Before Sloane, Emily didn’t go to parties, she barely talked to guys, and she didn’t do anything crazy. Enter Sloane, social tornado and the best kind of best friend—someone who yanks you out of your shell.
But right before what should have been an epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. There’s just a random to-do list with thirteen bizarre tasks that Emily would never try. But what if they can lead her to Sloane?
Apple picking at night? Okay, easy enough.
Dance until dawn? Sure. Why not?
Kiss a stranger? Wait…what?
Getting through Sloane’s list will mean a lot of firsts, and with a whole summer ahead of her—and with the unexpected help of the handsome Frank Porter—who knows what she’ll find.
Go Skinny Dipping? Um…
—Includes sixteen pages of bonus content!—

The reason I cut off a star was the length. At some points I felt the book was a bit dragged and the beginning three chapters were quite boring..........but.....I am happy I didn't give up on this book because it turned out to be interesting from fourth chapter, Emily making new friends and how she copes up to stand by the various situations with them was really nice. Collins, Frank and Dawn were unique in their own ways and impacted Emily's life in a new way. As far the list is concerned, that was also good and well executed and the ending, actually could be better.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read, and this is coming from someone who's read a lot of books. This book shows friendship, courage, adventure and just makes you really realize the true meaning of friendship. This book is filled with laughs and tears. I really hope there's a sequel.
