Where She Went
By Gayle Forman
Blurb from Goodreads: "It's been three years since the devastating accident ... three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever. Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Julliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future - and each other.Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance."
Phew. Okay, so, I loved If I Stay. Let there be no question about that. But I was terrified that Where She Went would disappoint me.
I'm so happy to say: It didn't. Not even a tiny bit.
Adam's character is incredible. The emotional intensity is incredible. Everything about this book is incredible.
I keep typing up big comments about the book and then realize that no matter how I try to veil them, I'm spoiling the ending. So, I'm not going to say anything direct about the story, because getting there is the most important part.
This is the kind of book that changes you. I highly, and with most sincerity, recommend you read it.
Have any of you read it yet? What'd you think?
