One of the things I did not enjoy about this book was how it did not have a climax, rising action, or conflict. For example, throughout the story it has many times where there are exciting parts, but it still did not have real plot. In the book before this, If I Stay, the climax was: what will Mia’s choice be? But in Where She Went, there is no climax, this makes the book more pedestrian, and less convenient. Another thing I did not enjoy about the book was how throughout the whole story it had a lack of description.

The theme of this book is: if you love something, set it free, and if it comes back, it truly loves you. In the book, Adam loves Mia, but he has to let her go, eventually, they get back together and realize that they were meant to be together. Overall, this book is about love. In conclusion, Where She Went is an interesting read, but it does have many flaws, to see if you agree with me, you will have to try the fascinating
