Where She Went Book Review

Second book review in a few days, i guess this is good…

Hello! I finally got my hands on the sequel of If I Stay, Where She Went! I devoured this book just like i did the first, it’s a easy read but really good one to.

This book follows Adam perspective after Mia choice. He is a changed man, 3 years older and a rock star, his band, Shooting Star, is internationally famous but Adam doesn’t feel  like a rock star anymore. We get to go along with him during his last night in New York, the same format as the first book. This is a sequel so i don’t wan’t to give you any spoilers, i better leave the summary at this.
Unfortunately i can’t do a full review without some spoilers, i will analyse the feelings Adam has and why he doesn’t feel like the rock star he is. The full review will be, as always, after the star rating.

Adam is a different man, if you loved him in If I Stay because he was such a care-free and happy person, he isn’t that anymore. The relationship with is band is on the rocks and he doesn’t have friends to lean upon.
Through the book he expresses his feelings and why he feels trapped in this persona he created. He feel disconnected from the thing he once loved the most, music. The feeling of entrapment, of resentment from his feelings is constant and he doesn’t understand why he feels like this, this makes him angry at life.
Reading from his perspective was a little different, but this book almost feels like a stand alone. There are a lot of information about the previous book and everything is well explained. Of course, if you didn’t read If I Stay, i don’t think you will have the same feeling has i (for example).
I don’t feel like this book e absolutely necessary but is a good closure for the story. Because, independently of Mia choice i wanted to know more. What about next? I guess Gayle Forman understood that maybe a closure will be fine and i actually enjoyed the following story. Not that i ”understand” perfectly but i understand in some ways (this was trippy….)

I gave it 3.5 stars, because, with information i don’t actually care (and repetitive and i actually don’t agree 100% with everything written), the feelings expressed by Adam are real and sometimes people tend to forget that choices not only affect us but also our love ones.

Next, a more detailed review!
