Where She Went by Gayle Forman

Where She Went by Gayle Forman
***SPOILERS FROM IF I STAY ARE IN THIS REVIEW, SO GO READ IF I STAY THEN COME BACK!***
"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 Juilliard'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."- summary from Amazon

I've been really excited to read Where She Went since it was announced because I absolutely loved If I Stay, and wanted to see how the story continued. Sequels can be hard to write, but Forman knocked it out of the park. Reading from Adam's perspective was so emotional, so raw, and it just felt so real. I was sucked into this storyline because of his voice.

I also loved how Forman told the story- there are flashbacks every so often that show how much Adam loves Mia, how it felt when he almost lost her to death, and then lost her for real when they were separated by distance. And then there's the present day with Adam and Mia spending one last night together before they go their separate ways on their respective music tours.

Overall, it's simply a magical, lyrical, emotional read and I highly recommend it to everybody.
