More Summer Titles

Still trying to catch up with blogging after the summer of being "Mom Taxi".
WHERE SHE WENT is the follow up novel to my favorite of last year, IF I STAY by Gayle Forman. This one also doesn't disappoint. While the plot isn't nearly as riveting as the first novel, this one unravels all of the questions one has about the three years that has passed since the end of IF I STAY. Mia is now a concert cellist after attending Julliard and Adam's band has struck it Rock Star Famous. As the two meet and tease out the intricacies of why they are no longer together, the reader remembers what an amazing chemistry they had between them. Forman, again, writes her own "rock star" novel.

Audio: IF I STAY by Gayle Forman

I listened to this audio while driving up north on the 19th of June. I've already read the book, but that didn't stop me from crying- AGAIN! I read the book almost exactly a year ago, but I remembered most of it. The pacing and voice of the reader were wonderful and she did "voices" of the characters but it didn't sound affected at all. Such a powerful book both in print and in audio! Best of all, Forman has just finished the sequel called: WHERE SHE WENT. Yeah!
