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.

I wasn't surprised to find that I couldn't put this book down, since this is exactly what it was like reading The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska. However, I was pretty surprised by the actual plot, and I loved almost every bit of it.

Through his search for Margo, Q not only learns more about her, but he also inadvertently learns a lot about himself and I think it gives him a better look at the world. He reevaluates his friendships and realizes that there's more to people than the eye can see.

Margo, on the other hand, seems a little lost and confused despite the fact that she seems to have it all planned out from childhood. To Q, she was a mystery that he had tried to solve but she didn't want to be discovered. I found her to be a little pretentious at times, but she also has these marvelous plans and pranks, which were rather exciting to read.

I particularly loved the third part of the book; the actual journey. Q and his friends, new and old, each had talents that fit perfectly with the roles needed on the road trip. They're a hilarious bunch, and I wish there was more of their adventures to read.

The actual plot was amazing, but the ending seemed too simple and quite frankly, a little boring compared to the whole novel. I think I would've given it 5/5 if it weren't for the ending, but all in all, it's a great read.

Eleanor and Park is an extremely captivating book, I wish there was more but unfortunately it's over. I enjoyed every single thing about this book, and again couldn't help but feel like something tragic was going to happen. Thankfully, it worked out in the end. The writing style is clear, but doesn't always flow. There are a lot of music references that music lovers can enjoy. The two main characters are well written and lovable. It'll make you laugh and it'll make you cry, it'll also make you want to hug Eleanor and Park. At first, Eleanor's actions towards the end of the book seemed irrational and I didn't like it what was happening. After some more thought, I finally saw it from her point of view, and understood why she did what she did. It could've been a happy ending, but is it what it is.

Absolutely blown away by this book. Went into it not knowing anything at all about the story, but I don't think that changed much (although I've heard it's best this way). The writing style definitely complements the story itself. I loved the little fairytales in between. We Were Liars is so well written and well structured with a perfect pace. I think it deserves another re-read just to fully appreciate E. Lockharts writing and the sneaky little hints here and there.
