(Taken from the back of the book)
My first impulse is not to grab her or kiss her or yell at her. I simply want to touch her cheek, still flushed from the night’s performance. I want to cut through the space that separates us, measured in feet—not miles, not continents, not years—and to take a callused finger to her face. I want to touch her to make sure it’s really her, not one of those dreams I had so often after she left when I’d see her so clear as day, be ready to kiss her or take her to me only to wake up with Mia just beyond reach.
But I can’t touch her. This is a privilege that’s been revoked.
It’s been three years since Adam’s love saved Mia after the accident that annihilated life as she knew it . . . and three years since Mia walked out of Adam’s life forever.
Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Julliard’s rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia’s home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future—and each other.
Told from Adam’s point of view in the spare, powerful prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

I just have to say...this book is AH-MAZING!
It is so indescribably good!
I only purchased this book because I couldn't seem to find 'Defiance' by Lilith St. Crow. So instead I bought this one and I remembered Gayle Forman. I knew she was a great writer. I had forgotten though, how exceptionally GREAT she was. That was until I read 'Where she went'. From the first page, from the first words I was already drawn into the story.
I was never once bored.
Gayle Forman includes everything from tragedy, love, family, passionate love for music, death...and all the consequences of choices that were made.
It is such a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book. Actually I ORDER people to read this book!! But if you are, read the beginning of Adam and Mia's story in 'If I stay'. You will be blown away with the power and magnestism in both books :)
