I downloaded Where She Went, the sequel to If I Stay, onto my kindle and read it in pretty much one sitting. Now, if you remember back when I first posted about this book in April, I had my reservations about the story and plot and being able to connect with the characters. Obviously, it was an easy read, and obviously I didn't hate it if I read it in one day. To be honest, it was a cute story - annoying and cheesy at times (but hey, I do cheese quite well) - but enjoyable. There were no surprises though. I kept thinking the same thing over and over in my head - this is gonna happen like this.
But a good story doesn't need to have surprises, twists and turns to be a good story. There were times that I wanted to slap Adam, the narrator, because he just seemed so damn pathetic - in love with a girl who broke his heart, he was never able to get over her, and now he has a nervous twitch. But don't feel sorry for him, he has a gorgeous actress girlfriend and is the singer of the super popular Shooting Star. What about Mia? Well, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her, either, for having such a perfect New York life. Though I rolled my eyes and wanted to slap people, I was equally amused and entertained. So if you're looking for something with a happy ending (and you've read the first book, of course) then go ahead and read Where She Went. It'll leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
Oh, book trailers, how you make me laugh, and how ridiculous you are.
