WOW, oh my gosh, WOW! I read If I Stay (Mia's point of view) and Where She Went (Adam's point of view) back to back. For a few days after reading them I was breathless and actually at a loss of words. Me, at a loss of words? No way! But indeed, I was.
While reading them, I was there... I was present in the story. It felt so real, I was Mia - enduring everything she went thru, the pain, the choice. I was Adam - yearning for Mia, missing her, suffering her absence, feeling empty; feeling alone. Gayle Forman made it easy for me to be captured in her characters' shoes.
My stomach stayed balled up like a fist throughout both books. It was somber and fascinating at the same time. Have your box of Kleenex ready. Both of these compelling books boast 5 stars!!!
