Just One Day by Gayle Forman


"A breathtaking journey toward self-discovery and true love, from the author of If I Stay
When sheltered American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England, there’s an undeniable spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left. Over the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines.
Just One Day is the first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!" -Goodreads.com

*Please excuse me while I have a mini fangirling going on*

So it is safe to say that I liked screw that LOVED Just One Day and might have rushed shortly online to preorder Just One Year but was saddened that it wasn't available yet.
Just One Day is one of those perfect contemporary books that flows so perfectly. I think the only thing I would have wanted different was if it was longer.. Because that ending... Ahhhhhh! A few pages before it ended it had me going whattttttttt?!?!? I don't think I have gotten that emotionally attached to characters in quite a while. Defiantly a favorite for the year. No doubt about that.

If I could I would give it at least 1 billion stars but since I can't on Goodreads I gave it 5 stars :)
