ok I wanted to give it five stars however it's just the way it ended, now I know there is a second book and I plan to read it, but the ending for me was a cliff hanger I mean ok we know she woke up, just because there is a second book but it doesn't really state it at the end, it was kinda like she became aware of everything of Adam, of her battered body and so on. if after reading the second book and some of my questions are answered I will change my rating. but besides the ending I really loved it mainly because I was hit by a car when I was younger and in a coma but was aware of what was happening, so it was kinda hard at times to read. lucky there was no lasting or serious damage to me it brought back some memories and I connected with the story on that level.

I read this in 4 hours. I cried. I didn't care for the amount of cuss words that were in there, but it wasn't excessive or anything.
I like this book. It helped me through some self-reflections. I do feel some type of way about how it regards Christianity. On that note, I changed my rating from 4 stars to three stars.
That is all.

I thought this was a pretty good book. It was one of those that you have to pay attention to what you are reading because it does bounce back and forth, but I did enjoy it. In allot of the reviews I read there were quite a few that did not like the ending, but I think it ended just as it should have, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. But the author went on to write a sequel from what I understand because of the negative feedback about her ending. I have not read that book because I enjoyed how the first book ended, I mean for goodness sakes the ending made sense. Some people just don't know a good ending to a book when they read one I guess. Great writing Gayle Forman, I thought your ending rocked!

I couldn’t put this one down! I didn’t really like the cliffhanger ending.

I've loved these books for a long time, I actually read them like 4 or 5 years ago and I was totally impressed by the trama and the story in general. This is my second time reading them and now they hit different. I think at this point in my life I can understand better many things that happen through the books that, back then, didn't seem that hard or deep to me. I believe these books are not only for young people, actually adults should give them a chance cause they address some important topics like death, loss and mental health. I strongly recommend them, specially if you like music or if you need to heal. As the majority of the books I've read during the last year and a half these ones have helped me heal in many ways.

If I stay - 5/5 Wow this book was good. Never slow despite all the flashback scenes that I usually find boring in books. I thought it was so well done and people who have been through this would appreciate the way Gayle Forman wrote this tragedy.
Where She Went - 5/5 I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Reading from Adam's perspective was so interesting and I was hooked the whole time.
