Mia is stuck in a coma after a horrible car accident that kills her parents and younger brother. She's not exactly a ghost, but she is aware of everything around her. The story takes place over 2 days, and it is a quick and easy read.
Throughout the whole novel I kept thinking “you've been given a second chance Mia, you should definitely stay”, and I think that is mainly because we don't get to feel Mia's losses the way she does. Forman hasn't delved too deep into each character, we get little bits and pieces about her parents and Teddy. I certainly think that if the story wasn't as rushed, then the book would be quite emotional.
The idea of the book is rather interesting, how a patient in a coma can decide whether to stay or not, given all the losses and pain around them. All the characters that spoke to Mia during her coma seemed to think that she could hear them, and that she could control her fate, which I found to be a little odd.
All in all, I think I would give Where She Went a try, I'd like to know more about Mia and Adam, hopefully there will be some character development.
