From the New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay
Allyson Healey's life is exactly like her suitcase—packed, planned, ordered. Then on the last day of her three-week post-graduation European tour, she meets Willem. A free-spirited, roving actor, Willem is everything she’s not, and when he invites her to abandon her plans and come to Paris with him, Allyson says yes. This uncharacteristic decision leads to a day of risk and romance, liberation and intimacy: 24 hours that will transform Allyson’s life.
A book about love, heartbreak, travel, identity, and the “accidents” of fate, Just One Day shows us how sometimes in order to get found, you first have to get lost. . . and how often the people we are seeking are much closer than we know.
The first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!
★★★ // the problem with this book is that it introduced me to a lot of characters that i wanted to have gotten to know more (like Dee, Babs, etc) but i was left hanging because of that quest that she has to go to. i liked the Shakespeare bits, and the restaurant job. i have this feeling that Allyson's story would work even without Willem. for me, he was not much of a likeable character, and it’s a shame how much energy she’s wasted on the guy.
