I just love this book, it is so comforting to me and has been my favourite book for so long. I think I know it off by heart by now, and I feel so connected to the characters. Very very good.

I wish this book picked up where "If I Stay" left off. It was still a good read. I just feel like it was missing something.

Where She Went, in my opinion, was better than If I Stay. Instead of Mia’s perspective it is written in Adam’s, showing you his feelings throughout both memories and current events.
'Where She Went' was a great sequel to 'If I Stay'! I loved reading from Adam's perspective, and just get into his head & his thoughts. Great book.
duologie vraiment décevante, elle est tellement hypée comme « triste » mais franchement ? c’est pas fou
Read it in practically one evening. It's more of a short story comparatively to the books I've been reading, so I read it in one sitting, glued to it, through watery eyes. It's truly a good story, but in my opinion it lacks a little something.
I LOVED this book. It did take me awhile to really get into it, but it was so good. I wanted to read it again, and was such a heart wrenching story.
I'm not sure why the author chose this direction for the book. How come Mia, who has lost her entire family, is more cheerful than a guy who experienced a breakup? Make it make sense. My dude was unable to get over his teenage love for nearly four years and had the audacity to be mad at her for doing what she needed to do to process the loss of her family. However, I found his emotional journey and thought process to be quite realistic and relatable. I understand why he felt the way he did, and I sympathised with him a lot. The happy flashbacks healed some of the damage the first book did to me. I felt that the reconciliation part was a bit rushed. Overall, the first book was way better than this one, and I believe that "If I Stay" was a standalone book with a perfect ending and didn't require a sequel. But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I was surprised by this book. I abhorred the first book and was ready to be disappointed with this one...in some ways I was still very disappointed but I was also surprised by some of it and acknowledged as a reader that the ending is exactly what we expected it to be even if it felt pretty unoriginal.
See I was very disappointed with how we learned about Mia’s recovery. The first 60% of the book focuses on Adam. It makes him look like a paranoid, self absorbed junkie - a star that burned himself out quickly. It took so long to unravel what was really wrong with Adam that at some point I almost didn’t care. We don’t even actually hear from Mia until later on in the book. I understand the amount of devastation that these characters went through however its very politely tip toed around and only truly acknowledged emotionally by Adam. I was more upset that this book focused on Adam than anything. I mean from his career to his smoking habits and his feelings. It was centered around Adam. It wasn’t until the last 10% that the book focused on BOTH Adam and Mia.
I was pretty surprised with how things went with the band and then by how long it took Adam to actually speak his mind to Mia. It wasn’t really a pleasant surprise but more of a Really?! kind of surprised. It took all night and then a monumental melt down before Adam even felt grown up enough to ask the questions he needed answers too. Mia of course left it all alone and acted like things were totally ok o.O WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! Their interaction felt very vague (with exception of ONE scene!) So yea...i was surprised.
There was a flashback at the end that came out of nowhere and i was pretty shocked at how quickly everything was forgiven. I can’t really say what needs to be forgiven without spoiling the book :\ It all just felt a little too easy for these two. Granted, it WASN'T easy for the both of them but the resolution was just like “welp! I guess everything is just unicorn farts and sparkling stars!” -_- NOTHING is that easy.
I don’t know. I just wasn’t satisfied at the end. I’m not sure how to explain why I was so disappointed but It sure felt like I missed a whole section of the book. I’m glad I got it off my TBR shelf but I don’t think I’d recommend this to anyone i know.
