Where She Went
By Gayle Forman
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Personal Rating: 7/10

This is the sequel to If I Stay, a story about a girl who gets in a terrible car accident and has an out-of-body experience as she contemplates the consequences of staying in a world her family will no longer be in. I read If I Stay about two years ago and actually really enjoyed it, I'm really glad I finally picked up the sequel. There isn't much I can say about this book without spoiling the first one, but the story is told in Adam's point-of-view, and takes place in New York three years after the accident.

I love Gayle Forman's writing style and I found the plot of this sequel heart wrenching. Which was actually no surprise because, well, it's Gayle Forman. This would definitely be a 10/10 but I did have to knock off quite a few points for use of the F-word. There was quite a bit of language and some alluding to sex, but nothing graphic.
