Where She Went by Gayle Forman
5.0

Where She Went is the sequel to Gayle Forman's If I Stay. This offering follows Adam, Mia's boyfriend from the first book, three years after the events of If I Stay. Adam, now the lead guitarist in Shooting Star, a worldwide phenomenon is feeling the pressure, a chance 24hrs alone and he miraculously reconnect with Mia who, upon leaving for Juliard some three years before, broke off all contact him. I love the themes of this book and that the music still plays such a big role as it is a huge part of both Adam and Mia's lives.

Where She Went follows the same vein, with Adam's past intermingling with the present. I really felt for Adam, his obvious anxiety issues were hard to read at times but this is a fantastic sequel - and actually my favourite of the two.
