Where She Went

Where She Went by Gayle Forman




This is the sequel to the wonderful book, "If I Stay". Fast forward a few years and Adam is a rock star but he is still reeling from Mia's accident and he is self-destructing. It takes an army of people to try to keep him on track but it's not helping. Adam is losing it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read the sequel because I was afraid that "Where She Went" wouldn't live up to the original. I am so glad I did. You're on an emotional rollercoaster the whole time but it's a great ride!
