In a well-ordered universe .... this book would not have such a high rating.

It's the beginning of summer vacation and Emely's best friend, Sloane, just disappears and doesn’t respond to her calls or messages. She has only left a list of activities that Emely must do.

Emely, who understands that when she finish doing everything it will lead to Sloane, start working on it. The main problem is that Emely is extremely shy and does nothing other than the outgoing Sloane. The activities on the list are not exciting at all, but thank goodness Emely befriends Frank, Dawn and Collins, as they make the story more entertaining.

The story goes in two times, back with Sloane and in the present with his new friends. Little by little we realize that the perfect and best friend Sloane is neither perfect nor so good friend.

The ending turns out to be predictable, hurried and leaves important pending issues with Dawn and Collins.

Of course, the message is very good. It should be read by every teenager who live life through another person.

En un universo bien ordenado.... este libro no tendría un rating tan alto.

Es inicio de las vacaciones de verano y la mejor amiga de Emely, Sloane, simplemente desaparece y no responde sus llamadas o mensajes. Atrás solo ha dejado una lista de actividades que Emely debe hacer.

Emely, que entiende que cuando termine de hacer todo Sloane aparecerá mágicamente supongo, comienza a trabajar en ello. El problema principal es que Emely es extremadamente tímida y no hace nada que no sea con la extrovertida Sloane. Las actividades de la lista no son para nada excitante, pero gracias a Dios Emely se hace amiga de Frank, Dawn y Collins, ya que ellos hacen la historia más entretenida.

La historia va en dos tiempos, atrás con Sloane y en el presente con sus nuevos amigos. Poco a poco nos vamos dando cuenta que la perfecta y mejor amiga Sloane no es ni perfecta, ni tan buena amiga.

El final resulta, además de predecible, apresurado y deja cosas pendientes importantes con Dawn y Collins.

Eso sí, la moraleja es muy buena. Debe ser leído por cada adolescente que vive su vida a través de otra persona.

The cover is beautiful. I'll let you know is the book is worth the time. Right now I am only reading A court of wings and ruin. I don't have much time to read, but soon as I finish ACOWAR I'll continue with this one.

I really need this book to be good. I didn't like The unexpected everything by the same author. Which has such a beautiful cover too.

It is really slow first 200 pages. After that you start enjoying the story, but it is VERY YA contemporary

I'd say read it if you like YA contemporary, but if you don't then don't read it because it's a little childish
