Where She Went
Gayle Foreman
Summary: It's been three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life.
And three years he's spent wondering why.
When their paths cross again in New York City, Adam and Mia are brought back together for one life-changing night.
Adam finally has the opportunity to ask Mia the questions that have been haunting him. But will a few hours in this magical city be enough to lay their past to rest, for good - or can you really have a second chance at first love?
Note: This is a review for a sequel, so there maybe spoilers for the
first book
When I finished If I
Stay I freaked NEEDING to know what happens next. I called my local bookstore
but they had to order it so with a reigned sigh I ordered it and waited. Then
it came in and my mom yelled at me for reading it in less than 4 hours. The
beauty of this book is amazing I loved seeing Adams POV and seeing what he
thought of Mia, that day, her family, and everything else. It is only hinted at
how popular Adam’s band was becoming in If I Stay but I loved seeing how huge
they had gotten and how the dynamics had changed over the years. In If I Stay Adams band was very close but
once they become famous the band began to drift apart to the point where it was
no longer functional.
The chance of Adam
stumbling upon one of Mia’s concerts on his day off reminded me of Just One
Day. I love reading books with an aspect of fate, an idea that no matter what
happens in life there are certain people you are destined to meet and they will
have an impact of some kind on you.
Another aspect I
loved about the book was that both Adam and Mia were open to reconnecting
despite the fact that they had ended on bad terms and had not talked in many
years. It would have been easy for Mia to not want to see Adam because of the
connection he has to her family but she welcomed the opportunity to see him. Throughout
the majority of the book I feel as if Adam and Mia were trying to find the
correct words to tell each other how they feel without showing how much pain
the other had caused them.
Verdict
4 stars this book was
the perfect follow up/ending to If I Stay
