"Where She Went" by Gayle Forman - YA Fiction




Started February 3, 2013 - Ended February 4, 2013


I was really excited to start "Where She Went" after finishing up with the first novel, "If I Stay".


Caution - the synopsis below contains spoilers for the first book.

From Amazon:Picking up several years after the dramatic conclusion of If I Stay, Where She Went continues the story of Adam and Mia, from Adam's point of view. Ever since Mia's decision to stay - but not with him - Adam's career has been on a wonderful trajectory. His album, borne from the anguish and pain of their breakup, has made him a bona fide star. And Mia herself has become a top-rate cellist, playing in some of the finest venues in the world. When their respective paths put them both in New York City at the same time, the result is a single night in which the two reunite - with wholly satisfying results.


I really liked these 2 books. They were quick reads (300+ pages) and really entertaining. Gayle Forman's writing style and use of wordage is beautiful. Yes it's a YA novel, but she doesn't dumb it down. A friend of mine said they made her feel 'smart', and I totally get it. I give "Where She Went" a B+.
