Where She went by Kelly Simmons Book Review

This is a book I won in 2020 through BookTrib.

Emma was not raised a spoiled rich brat. Her mom was a hairdresser, her dad a cop. She was not prepared for college at Semper at all. She decided to sign up for the roommate bingo and was placed with four other girls ... to say they did not get along well is an understatement. In Emma’s quest for trying to fit in, she stumbled into the journalism room where she met Jason. Jason, the paper’s editor, basically told her to go find a story. So, she did.

This story is told in the voices of Emma and Emma’s mom, Maggie. An entertaining tale of the road Emma traveled down to find her story. A tale of the road Maggie traveled down after Emma. Maggie, the overprotective mom. Maggie, being a cop’s widow, was not happy with the police that were involved; she felt they were not doing enough. Emma met some folks while chasing her story that she would not necessarily have met otherwise, an eye-opening experience for her. 

Not a bad read to start 2021 off with, a tale of the intricacies of college life for those who fit in and those who don’t, a tale that ends Emma up somewhere that you won’t expect in the end.
