Review: Where She Went

Where She Went by Gayle Forman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Where She Went is another brilliant piece of work by Gayle Forman. I was worried that Adam would not sound as true as Mia, but that was not the case. I loved and cried with Adam as much as I did with Mia.

What I Liked:
1. The book pulls at your heart strings, and you will all the pain and hope that Adam feels. It was an emotional roller coaster that was worth the cost of admission.

2. The writing was beautiful. It was like reading a dream. As the reader, I felt compelled to be very quiet, so I didn't attract the attention of Adam and Mia and make the book stop.

What I Didn't Like:
1. (view spoiler)[I don't know how I feel about the ending. As much as I wanted that ending, I am not sure if it was the true ending for the book. I feel that in the "real world" Mia and Adam would have parted as friends. Adam would have still left the band, but he and Mia wouldn't have gotten back together. I feel that Gayle Forman may have been worried about the readers being upset by a non-romantic ending. Of course, I would have been one of the people upset by the non-romantic ending and would have complained about it. ;) (hide spoiler)]
