My Review: This book was absoultley amazing. The cover is gorgeous! And the book exceeded my expectations! Morgan Matson did a wonderfull job of including supsence and romance into the story.

I loved reading about how Emily interacted with Collins, Dawn and especially Frank. The characters come to life in this story and you can really feel the emotions coming out of the book. My favorite challenge Emily did was 9- Dance until Dawn and 12- Apple picking at night. Each chapter is based on the challenge that Emily completes. The ending killed me, but it was almost for the better. Through out the book I was kind of mad at Sloane for not telling Emily anything or even calling her. I was confused by why she would even want to do that. It caused Emily hurt and stress, and I didn't know why anyone would want to put their best friend through that. But in the end, I found out why Sloane had just dissapeared. And I wasn't very mad anymore. The ending is so sweet, and I loved it. Morgan Matson is one of my favorite authors, and I finally got to read this book! I can't wait to read the unexpected everything this summer!
