Hey guys, I just finished reading Where She Went by Gayle Forman and I thought it was almost better than the first one. I loved that this one was in Adam's point of view, and we got to see how everything affected him.

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 a rising star at Julliard and Adam is a bona fide rock star, complete with tabloid headlines and a celebrity girlfriend. 

Then chance brings them together again, for one 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 to each other.

I love that right from the beginning you get to see that although Adam has gotten everything he dreamed of for his career, it has affected him in an entirely different way than it should have. Three years after everything happened, Adam has crazy anxiety problems and he's on bad terms with the band. You get to see how dark and broken he is. How lost he is.

Then he stumbles across Carnegie Hall where Mia is performing that night and he goes to watch her show, and she invites him backstage afterward, and they end up spending the night seeing her favourite places in New York City.

I thought this book was as beautifully written as the first one. Overall, I really liked it and would probably read it again.
