🌿Book Review: Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson🌿
(English) Some books make us believe they’ll be simple reads - light, easy, and forgettable. Since You’ve Been Gone seemed like one of those. We picked it up after Watership Down , expecting something soft, romantic, and uncomplicated… and found something surprisingly deeper, touching on themes like friendship, longing, growth, vulnerability, and discovering our place in the world. The further we got, the more we realized this is not just a story about completing a summer bucket list—it’s a story about finding out who we are when the person who shaped us the most, the one who made the world feel less intimidating, suddenly isn’t there anymore. A quick warning: from here on out there will be spoilers , so if you haven’t read the book and want to go in completely blind, come back after you finish it! ⚠️👀
