Gayle Forman's Where She Went

“.....and suddenly she’s there. Really there. A flesh-and-blood person, not a specter” (Forman 52). In the book Where She Went by: Gayle Forman, the sequel to If I Stay is told from Adam’s perspective not Mia’s. When Mia left for Juilliard after the crash, her and Adam tried to keep in touch. After a while, Mia cut him off and essentially broke up with him. Now it’s three years later and Adam is a huge rockstar and Mia is finally getting her career going. Adam is in New York to do some recording and Mia is there playing at Carnegie Hall. Adam finds himself at Carnegie hall listening to her play, and ends up seeing Mia backstage. They end up exploring New York together. After reading Where She Went, the reader can evaluate characters, formulate questions and predict what might happen next.

On account of the novel being in Adam’s perspective, one can evaluate the personality of him. Adam is calm, careless, and thoughtful in Where She Went. Quite opposite
For example, why doesn’t Adam like being a huge star? Wouldn't anyone want that? I believe that Adam is not happy with his new life because, his new life doesn’t have Mia in it. He’s sad and lonely without her. He feels very diffident in this life. “...feels like I’m already all on my lonesome. Me alone in a soundproof booth” (Forman 9). Second, why did Mia breakup with Adam? Why did she just one day stop talking to him? I think she just cut him off one day because, it was hard for her to deal with the past and relive what happened to her. Finally, why is Shooting Star (Adam’s band) against him? Why is the band essentially not together? I think their not together or not friends because Adam was the star of the band. Their were jealous of him and what he had. Overall the reader can produce many questions. Besides evaluating and questioning the novel, the reader can also predict what could happen
