Cover Comparisons #35: Where She Went by Gayle Forman


Living in Germany gives me the perfect opportunity to compare original covers with the ones German publishers choose. Sometimes they're gorgeous, sometimes they make me cringe, but it's always interesting to see different covers for the same novel.

Cover Comparisons is a weekly feature here at Fictional Distraction.



Last week's winner is the US cover of Hourglass by Myra McEntire.





Where She Went by Gayle Forman
(US / UK / GER)


The US and the UK cover are, thanks to the picture of the girl, quite similar. But I definitely prefer the US version, because I think there's a bit too much going on in the UK version. I love the proportions and the typography of the German cover, but I'm not exactly sure whether I'd prefer it to the US version since it's quite dark.

Which version do you like best?
