Where She Went is Gayle Forman's sequel to her book If I Stay. In the book If I Stay, Mia and her family are in an accident which kills her entire family. Mia struggles in her mind while in a coma deciding if she wishes to live, or to join her family. Her boyfriend Adam remains by her side urging her to stay and fight for her life as she lies sleeping during her coma. In the sequel, Where She Went, Adam becomes our narrator. We see the story through his eyes, we see the damage that's been done by the loss of Mia's family, and ultimately the loss of Mia. We see he has become a successful rock star and where all his angsty songs have come from. Adam allows us to look at how the loss of Mia has changed not only him, but those around him.
While I did not enjoy this book as much as If I Stay, it was just as well written and definitely worth the time to read!
