If I Stay Gayle Forman Books

4.5 stars

Can I just say that if Gayle Forman wrote a text book or even a dictionary I would read it! She has a way with not only her words, but her character development that just sucks me and leaves me feeling completely satisfied at the end of her books. Well, in this case I was left feeling a bit more than satisfied. I've been struggling with how to put into words my thoughts and feelings about this awesome sequel with out giving away any spoilers, and I'll admit it's a little hard. I promise I won't spoil anything.

Where She Went is a gripping, emotional, hopeful, fulfilling read. It's by no means one of those light and a fluffy books. I mean, how can it be when you know the promise that Adam makes at the end of If I Stay. I was completely taken and surprised with how absorbed I became with Adam's point of view. It's raw, edgy, and I couldn't help but get sucked into how he felt. There's a few scenes that I was so caught up in I totally cried, and I'm not a crier. I'll just said, the ferry scene totally got me. This scene is so crucial to both Adam and Mia as for the first time you see them completely vulnerable in every sense of the way.

I absolutely love how Gayle alternates between present day with Adam and Mia and Adam's flash backs. It not only allowed me to get to see what Adam has been doing, and his struggles, but it allowed for Mia's family to still stay in the picture, even if it's briefly. The best way for me to describe Where She Went is to quote the back of the ARC, "Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance".

I don't know what I was excepting at the end of Mia and Adam's story, but I will say the ending is both beautifully written and perfect for their story. I highly recommend picking this book up. I think it's a story both YA fans and adults will enjoy. There is some language, there are some mentions of groupies and a tastefully written scene. Over all what may sometimes bother me in some books was very fitting and realistic for Adam's story.

If I Stay Gayle Forman Books Reviews

I must say that i liked Where She Went much better than If I Stay. Am i allowed to say that? The second book usually isn't as good as the first book. If I Stay was all about death and Mia being in a Coma the whole time, and wondering if she should live or die. I couldn't handle that.

It’s been three years since the accident that took away Mia’s family. Adam is a huge rock star now. His band Shooting Star is making albums, winning awards, and touring the world. Adam should be living it up, but he is no longer the same guy he was. His life is the shadow of what it should be and it all traces back to the accident that changed everything he believed in. He's a broken guy no longer in love with the music he used to eat, sleep and dream about. Instead he is a guy just floating by. A random chance encounter in NYC changes everything. The past that Adam thought was over and had left behind is suddenly right in his face leaving him no choice but to deal with his demons and decide if the past should be left in the past.

Where She Went is told in Adam's POV which i absolutely loved. I felt so bad for Adam. He was so heartbroken after Mia left, and i could really feel his pain. I was really mad at Mia for leaving him like that, but after reading further into the book I understand why she did what she did. I also liked that in the beginning of the chapters were Adam's lyrics to the songs he written. This book was just so beautifully written and it's an absolute must read.
This book was the most recent choice for our book club. It was ripe for discussion as to whether or not the right decision (to stay or not to stay) was made, and why. While this book would be enjoyable for a singular reader, the points of view that emerge from discussing this book in a group greatly enrich the experience. For those that had seen the movie before reading the book, some of the additional details and information given in the book made the decision that was ultimately made make more sense to them. Our book club is going to watch the movie together soon and then discuss it again! )
