Hello!
Today, I have for you, a review of Gayle Forman's novel Just One Day. At the almighty Barnes & Noble, this book immediately caught my attention. Maybe it's the adventure lover in me that wishes I could visit Europe, or it was the adorably romantic cover, but as soon an I picked up this book I knew I was walking out with it. And boy am I glad I did. This book was absolutely lovely. It was adorable and hilarious and heart breaking, and realistic . . . . well mostly, how many of us really skip out on a school trip to spend the day in Paris with a dreamy European actor? (Don't get me wrong, I wish I could). Anyways, safe to say I loved it.
Usually I'm an action-packed, always-on-the-go type of reader, but when this book slowed down (sorry, but it does) I still found myself intrigued with what Allyson was doing at college. It made me look forward to my freshman year (next year, kind of scared. . . . ). It starts to speed up again right before the climax. . . . and then drops off. Literally. As soon as the climax hits, the book ends. I know, really disappointing. Long story short (not really a spoiler but kind of), Allyson meets Willem, runs away with him, they get separated, she goes to college, then looks for him, eventually finds him, and it ends. That's it. It left me infuriatingly wanting more. So I guess this means I have to go find the other novel, which is from Willem's POV. Anyways, I definitely suggest you pick this one up!
Until next time, Keep Reading!
