Plot without spoilers: Three years after his beloved Mia survived a near-death accident, Adam Wilde has become a successful yet unhappy rock star. When he is reunited with Mia for an unforgettable night in New York City, Adam must come to terms with the promises he made to her long ago--and face his true feelings about life and loss, music and love--as he tries to understand what drove them apart.Literary highlights: Heartbreaking lyrics from Adam's star-making album "Collateral Damage" are sprinkled through the text. Forman's descriptions of the way Adam and Mia, both gifted musicians, relate to their talents, are eloquent and powerful.
Finally, just gotta say: This book is a remarkable journey through the aftermath of a tragedy--not the moments, days, weeks after, but the epic way loss lingers and how it is folded into the identities of those left behind. This is a romance not just between two people, but between people and music and memory and dreams.

I love love LOVED If I Stay, so I am dying to read this one!
Ahh! I MUST read these two books. I can't believe I haven't! So glad I read your review. Now I have to look up If I Stay, too.
Thanks, Meredith & Carolina. Gotta say, I LOVE the way Gayle Forman writes about music. Amazing!
This sounds really good and I actually hadn't heard of it until now. Thank you for introducing it to us!
I so want to read this one. I can't wait to get it. Thanks for the review.
Definitely check it out, Heather, taio and Regina. I would recommending giving IF I STAY a read first if you get the chance. A gorgeous book and the two are great together! - Stasia
