29. Where She Went - Gayle Forman

Where She Went by Gayle Forman is the perfect sequel in my eyes.

I love, love, loved this book. Just as much as I loved the first one. It deals with a lot of deep things but it's also very light and cute at times. It kind of reminds me of fan fiction and that may be why I like it so much but let's hope not.

Unlike the first book, this book follows Adam around about three and a half years after the last book ended. It slowly fills you in on what happened after the first book ended. It also takes some time to look into Adam's past.

We learn why he was so interested in Mia before they met each other. We learn things he thought while they were in a relationship and how he felt about Mia's family, and still does.

The book also shows us how much things can change over time, but some things will remain.

I can see why people might not have loved this book but it makes me think they overlooked the deeper meanings inside of it. The reasons why people might have hated it are so minimal to the reasons to love it.

I am not a fan of the one chapter in the present and the next in the past, however that is because I just want to read what happens in the present more. I just kind of impatient about that kind of thing. Even though I know it's necessary to show why these things are happening and explain it a little, I just want them to get on with it.

And even though this book didn't make me want to cry, it was still pretty much perfect in my mind.




If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.

Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
