Where She Went
I just finished reading this breath taking book called Where She Went by Gayle Forman. In this book the main character Adam can't let go of the girl he loved in high school, even though it had been three years of constant travel for Adam and his band. Though when they finally see each other again in New York, Adam has to try to man up and either get over Mia or tell her how he feels. Through out the book Adam really grows as a person, and changes, for better or for worse.
Through out the book Adam really grows as a person. For example in the beginning of the book Adam is in the middle of like a two year panic attack. Adam can barley be around people anymore, he's not talking to his band anymore, and to keep from yelling at everyone he sees and to help him sleep, Adam was taking a lot of medicine. Adam tries to forget about Mia any way possible, but he can't seem to. Then when Adam finally seems at his worst, he reconnects with Mia.
Through out the book Adam really grows as a person. For example at the end of the story things start to look up. Adam, who at the beginning of the book could barley be around people, stood on a crowed train for an hour without freaking out. And yes I know for most people its not that hard, but for Adam it was almost impossible in the beginning of this story. Then Adam started to talk to his band again, which after their fight at at the beginning of the book seemed impossible. Finally Adam started to sleep without medicine. These seem very small, but they helped Adam a great deal.
In the end, Adam not only became a better person he also, got to be with the person he loved, while he did the thing he loved. And I think that's the most you can ask for, right?
