A Review of Just One Year

      When he opens his eyes, Willem doesn't know where in the world he is -- Prague or Dubrovnik or back in Amsterdam.  All he knows is that he is once again alone, and that he needs to find a girl named Lulu.  They shared one magical day in Paris, and something about that day -- that girl -- makes Willem wonder if they aren't fated to be together.  He travels all over the world, from Mexico to India, hoping to reconnect with her.  But as months go by and Lulu remains elusive, Willem starts to question whether the hand of fate is as strong as he'd thought...
      The romantic, emotional companion to Just One Day, this is a story of the choices we make and the accidents that happen -- and the happiness we can find when the two intersect.


      This book was in one word, amazing.  I picked it up after having finished reading Just One Day about 1 month prior to this.  The story takes you through all the emotions of Willem and how he feels about Lulu a.k.a. Allyson.  The story shows how one day can change the course of your entire life for the better or the worst.
      I would give this book a 4.72 out of 5 stars.  Gayle Forman has very quickly been becoming one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to read even more of her books!
      Until next time,
