I have just finished Gayle Forman's "Where She Went", the sequel to "If I Stay" (recently shown in movie form).
I had seen the movie just over two weeks ago. It was sad and very beautiful indeed. The book switches the perspective character to Adam. I expected it to be good. I did not expect it to bring me to tears every single time I even remember of it.
I will be on the watch for other books by Gayle Forman, because the lady knows how to write. I had no idea I could ever be driven to such despair simply by reading of two people talking about such normal things, just barely raising their voices at all. What a cathartic experience it was. It pretty much put the need to accept the joys and losses of life as a whole person front and center on my perception.
