By: Gayle Forman

Publisher's summary

It's been three years since the devastating accident... three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.

Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is L.A. tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock-star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future - and each other.

Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

AMAZING

i love if i stay and i wanted to know what happened after she woke up. i like how there are flash backs (just like if i stay). how adam and mia felt the same with eachother for years. i liked how mia's personally came out more. i love the story, that no matter what there is that one true love.

loved it

i loved the narrator!! great book i will read it again i am glad i bought it

A great sequel!

I was really happy to find that the sequel to If I Stay was written from Adam's perspective. It gave the overall story a nice balance and depth. Like the first, it was is beautifully written and narrated. A great follow up!

Very touching book!

I didn't read the first book, just saw the movie, because a friend told me that the hospital part is a bit tiring, but this one is GREAT! I REALLY liked it!!!

"Where She Went" better than "If I stay"

Would you consider the audio edition of Where She Went to be better than the print version?

I don't know, I did not read the print version, but I can imagine it would be better due to Dan Bittner's excellent performance.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the perspective of Alex's life and where he ended up.

Have you listened to any of Dan Bittner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I love Dan Bittner, he is the perfect young-adult male voice. "Walking Disaster" is also an excellent performance of his but I think "Where She Went" has been my favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed a little, but I think my overall reaction was to just become entirely engaged in the story.

Any additional comments?

Listening to this book was as entertaining as watching a movie.

Wonderful

Although it was written towards a YA audience it was a heartwarming well told story. Where She Went covers a 24 hour period of time using flash backs to explain the background. It is the sequel to If I Stay but I believe you could read this independently as enough information on the prior story is shared.
I am not normally a fan of the flashback novel but this author doesn't spend too much time in each memory allowing for the present day to progress at a decent pace. I found myself wishing the story wouldn't end.
This is my first experience with this narartor and enjoyed his performance of the book.

Heart wrenching . . . and oh, so good!

This book was seriously the best piece of fiction I have read in a long time. It was a perfect illustration of how beautiful the human condition truly is: our innate desire for pure, meaningful relationships, the heart's inexplicable ability to heal, and the power of forgiveness . . .

I don't usually even finish books comprised of this much profanity (there are several "F" words throughout, as well as a few other occurrences of other, milder language), but I couldn't put this one down. There are constant references to a cd album called "Collateral Damage", and hearing the lyrics makes me wish this album actually existed!

I saw the movie "If I Stay," so I had a clear image of the characters while reading THIS book, and can totally picture it being made into a movie as well ::crosses fingers::, but Forman paints a perfectly wretched picture of the harrowing pain one feels upon losing a loved one, and how differently people deal with loss.

If you can get over the language, this is a definite must-read. Great writing.

Nice Follow Up to If I Stay

If you could sum up Where She Went in three words, what would they be?

This was a nice story picking up where "If I Stay" left off. The audio narration was pleasing and the story easy to follow. An enjoyable listen.

What about Dan Bittner’s performance did you like?

He had a very pleasing voice and showed the emotion of each scene very well. I would seek out books he has narrated.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It wasn't appealing enough to want to listen to all at once. But it was enjoyable.
