American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England...but the next morning he's gone. Over the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines.

Picking up several years after the dramatic conclusion of IF I STAY, WHERE SHE WENT continues the story of Adam and Mia, from Adam's point of view. Ever since Mia's decision to stay --- but not with him --- Adam's career has been on a wonderful trajectory. When their respective paths put them both in New York City at the same time, the result is a single night in which the two reunite.

Seventeen-year-old Mia had everything to live for --- a loving family, a beloved boyfriend, and her brilliant cello playing (and, very possibly, an acceptance to Juilliard). But everything changes during a tragic car accident. Now Mia hovers near the hospital bed where her physical body lies in a coma, weighing her options. Should she die, or should she stay?
