What this book is about
Three years after the accident that killed Mia's family, Adam is a rock star — famous, adored, and completely broken. Mia survived and chose Juilliard over him. One night in New York City, they find each other and spend a night walking the city, finally saying everything they couldn't. Gayle Forman's companion to If I Stay is told from Adam's perspective and cuts deeper than its predecessor, examining grief without an audience and the relationships we sacrifice to survive.
