Where She Went

The sequel to If I Stay. The first thing that got me was the switch in point of view. Now Adam tells the story, a few years after the events of If I Stay, and Mia appears in a different light. Seeing the other side of the relationship, with anger, longing and wounded pride, added a layer the first book didn't have.

Adam has made it big with his band and is still lost, and that contradiction was the most interesting part for me. The drama drags at times, with long stretches inside Adam's head chewing over the same thing, and in several passages I wanted the story to move faster.
