Synopsis: It's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever. Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future - and each other.
Review: I didn't see any improvement in this book compared to If I Stay. Where She Went has about the same flashback format as the first book in order to fill the reader in on what happened during the (unnecessary) three year time skip.

If anything, this book is completely unnecessary. It would have been better if what happens to Mia and Adam's relationship was left up to the reader's imagination. Nothing is accomplished in this book that wasn't already assumed at the end of the first.

While it's a quick read, I would not put this book as a priority read.
