A summer shaped by a friend’s list

When Sloane disappears just before summer, Emily is left with a list of thirteen unusual challenges—and the possibility that completing them could lead her back to her best friend. The tasks push Emily toward experiences she would once have avoided, while Frank Porter joins her in working through the list. Friendship, self-discovery, and the uncertainty of a changing relationship anchor the book’s summer premise. The description frames the challenges as a series of firsts, from nighttime apple picking to dancing until dawn.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in friendship-centered fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories organized around challenges and new experiences.
  • Fans of summer-set young adult fiction.

Book overview

For the first printing only! This paperback features sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts.

Now with a beautiful new look!

New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson's blockbuster novel about a shy teen having the most unexpected summer ever!

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...
