Serasa menonton ulang film Before Sunrise..., tapi lebih datar

2.5, really. This book was nowhere near as well-written or wonderful as the first book. Everything was so incredibly cliche and had a very gag-me quality to it. I really did eye roll towards the conclusion of the book.
There were moments that had great potential. That were deep and real and almost powerful. Then they would be thinned out with a few more cliches and predictable plot points. Boo hiss.
Not to mention that there were some questionable geographical problems when she wrote about Oregon ...more

This was better than the first book, which is interesting for a number of reasons. Although it seems like the first one should be more shocking, this is the one where the raw emotions and aftermath are truly felt.

Where She Went is the sequel to If I Stay. This review may contain some spoilers for the first book.
Where She Went and If I Stay are two very different books, but they are both fantastic. It’s a rare thing for an author to write a sequel that both takes a different turn with a story and still manages to be just as good as the first book.
Where She Went follows the story of Adam, Mia’s boyfriend, after the events of the first book. He has become a successful rock star, but still has so much emotio ...more

Ok, I loved the first book a lot. I did not like this book even half as much. It took 222 pages to get to any sort of plot. What in the world took so long? No just no. Read the first book be happy with it, in your mind envision the happy ending. This book I could not connect with at all and it's not because it was written from a male perspective. That has nothing to do with it, what it does have to do with is the lack of any plot, any hook, and what feels like a lazy sequel. I could not relate t
