If I Stay is the first of two books (the second book is Where She Went) that tells the story of Mia who lost her entire family in a freak car accident. Suddenly the perfect life Mia seem to have is gone. Mia herself is not spared from the accident because she is in critical condition at the ICU. The weird thing is, Mia can see her own self at the hospital bed and can hear the grief of her relatives. Is she dead? Is she a ghost?

Where She Went is the sequel to If I Stay, and this time we listen to Adam’s voice. It’s quite sometime since that fatal accident that killed Mia’s parents and her little brother, Denny. Mia entered Juilliard and is a fast rising popular cellist. Adam, on the other hand, is having the time of his life living the life of a famous rock star. Or so it seems. Because Adam Wilde is wallowing in depression and despair. What happened after Mia woke up? Why did Adam and Mia separate? More important, what happened to Adam after Mia woke up? Where She Went answers these questions and picks up the story three years after If I Stay ended.

I read it at the breakfast table, in the closet waiting out a tornado warning, in the bathroom, in the car, at the eye doctor, at the gym. I even skipped the American Idol finale to read it. When I wasn’t reading it, I was talking it up to others or thinking about it. Quite simply, literary euphoria!
