I am convinced that the next time Gayle Forman publishes a new book, I will most definitely get a copy of it, no matter what. Her writing is beautiful, poetic, almost heartbreakingly beautiful and Where She Went is a perfect showcase. 
 Where She Went picks up three years after the devastating accident that robbed Mia of her entire family. 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. Miraculously, chance brings them together again, for one last night before flying off to opposite ends of the world. As the night goes on, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future - and each other. 
 Where She Went does not start off in a pretty way. We see that Adam, while a rock star now, is plagued by numerous anxieties and can barely function as it is. I don't read a lot of novels that is told form a guy's POV, and sometimes, I worry if a female author can effectively pull off a male POV. My worries were unfounded here. The story is cathartic. It is painful to start reading, and it gets even more painful as both Mia and Adam work through their pain, and just when you think that pain can't get any worst, it does. But it does get better, I promise you. Yes, you'll find out why Mia left Adam in such a brutal, it's almost cruel, way. Yes, you'll find out why Adam has become the way he is. But most importantly, you'll find out that despite everything, they still love each other. 
 I don't know if there's going to be a sequel, but honestly, I hope there isn't, because this is PERFECT. Where She Went ends in a way that is subtle, poetic and even, hopeful and I am so glad I took this journey with Adam and Mia. Read this novel now!
