Last week, the amazing Alybee930 shipped me a box of books and ARCs (with some swag!). It was like having a book fairy! I immediately dove into the box and let out a little shriek when I pulled out an ARC of Gayle Forman’s Where She Went. I selfishly held that one back when I brought the rest of the ARCs into my students at school.
I don’t want to publish a full review of Where She Went yet, as the book won’t be published until April. However, I do want to make sure you all preorder a copy right now. This book is unbelievable! I was a little unsure about the change in point-of-view before I read it, but I sat down and ended up reading it in one sitting. The story is perfect yet unpredictable, compelling and heartbreaking. I already booktalked If I Stay and Where She Went to my students first thing this morning- both have been taken out of the library.
Go, right now, and place your order. It will be well worth it! (Look for my full review closer to the publication date).

So jealous you’ve already read Where She Went. If I Stay was one of my favorite reads of 2009, and I’m really looking forward to the new one!
I’m excited to get my hands on this one when it releases. I though If I Stay was phenomenal so I feel pretty confident this will be just as good.
Ha! I’m laughing at your holding this one back from your students because I did the exact same thing after NCTE. Passed it along to my most enthusiastic IF I STAY fan only after I’d finished.
