"Where She Went" is the sequence to "If I Stay" there are however a few differences. If I stay is about Mia telling her part of her story and how she lost her family in a horrible accident and she had to choose weather she should stay and live with her boyfriend or pass away with her family. If you read the book, you would know that Mia decided to Stay but not just because of her boyfriend Adam but because the rest of her family was counting on her getting better. Her best friend told her that if she died she would never forgive her. Mia felt that her parents wanted her to stay and live her life because thats what they always told her to do. Now after years passed Adam and Mia went their separate ways with their lives and their music. The book Where She Went is Adam's perspective, and how he feels about everything thats happening in his life. The beginning of the book talks about how Adam's career is taking off with his band. Then it goes into a little twist because this news reporter mentions Mia and asks if Adam and her had any kind of relationship about three years ago. As soon as that reporter mention Mia so many memories flashed back to Adam. In the book it explains how Adam felt when he found out his girlfriend was in the hospital. As the book goes along it explains that Mia was playing in a concert in London where Adam was by. He decided to go to Mia's concert but after that he couldn't stop but think about her. A while after Adam and Mia reconnected. Imagine being in love for four years then having it just end and three years later reconnecting with that person. If you can imagine how that feels, well thats how Adam feels. He and Mia both missed each other and their both happy about seeing each other again but its a huge surprise. To understand more of the story "Where She Went" you will have to read the book followed by it called "If I Stay" and if you have then read "Where She Went" to find out if Adam and Mia get back together.
The genre of my book "Where She Went" I think I would have to say it is realistic fiction for many reasons. Adam, the main character has so many life events in his life that can actually happen in reality. The kind of events that really seem real to me was that he reunited with his ex girlfriend. I see that in reality all the time. So many couples break up and later on they end up finding each other again and fall in love the same way again just Adam and Mia. I will say that some people that see their old girlfriend/boyfriend might not fall in love again like they did but it can happen. In the book it goes back to the story of "If I Stay" and it says that Mia lost her whole family in a car accident and she was the only one to survive. That can and it has happened in people's life, it may not happen exactly like Mia but many kids or teens have lost their families as well as when Mia did. I do really enjoy reading this kind of genre because not only do I know it can actually happen, but it makes me think more about how I would feel if any event like these ever happened in my life. I like to reflect the books I read of realistic fiction back to my life, because it just makes it more interesting to me. Realistic fiction is one of my favorite kind of genres to read, so I have read many other books similar and different to "Where She Went." If you like realistic fiction for the same reasons as me or different reasons too, I'm sure you will enjoy this book as much as I am right now.
