As the next stop on my literary tour of my childhood reading list, Where She Went sticks out as a book that has withstood the test of time, distance, and experience. Well worth a re-read.

This has been my favorite book for years and it's always so great to revisit. It always feels like reading it for the first time and reuniting with a friend you haven't seen in a while. Gayle Forman is a masterful author who I truly think deserves more appreciation. Adam's journey throughout the book is so well written and the climax is powerfully written. Overall an amazing book that I'm always happy to re read
