dark emotional hopeful fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

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.
