Holly Mullen tries to keep things together, even when her life is a mess. She's in charge of her little sister and her grandfather, who has rapidly worsening Alzheimer's disease, while her mom works long hours to keep the family afloat. She has almost no free time as she tries to meet her mother's expectations of her. Meanwhile, Holly is still grieving the loss of her boyfriend, Rob - while his best friend starts to flirt with her.
Jason feels bad for Holly Mullen. Or at least, that's his excuse for checking in with her months after the death of his best friend, her boyfriend. He can't kid himself for long, though: Jason really likes Holly, but it's pretty obvious that she isn't over Rob yet. Until she is, he's going to keep trying to win her heart.
Holly and Jason miss Rob, but they have no way of knowing that he isn't quite gone. Rob has been stuck in limbo all these months, and he wants out. After months of searching for an escape, Rob thinks he's found one in Holly's grandfather.
I really enjoyed the shifting perspectives in Wherever You Go. It was great to understand each character from three different viewpoints. I think that Holly, Jason, and Rob were all more likable than they would have been had I not been able to see how they were perceived by others. Though sad and emotional at times, Wherever You Go was a good read with a satisfyingly happy ending.
