Oh, Gayle Forman, I love you so much. You always give me the feels. You have an uncanny ability to answer all my questions. You craft these beautifully broken, soulful and romantic characters. You make me happy.

This is the companion book to "Just One Day", where we met Allyson and Willem and were introduced to their epic one day romance. Where most of "Just One Day" tackles how Allyson's life was affected by their day in Paris, "Just One Year" tells us what happened to Willem. We don't only learn what he did after that fateful day, but we also learn a lot more about Willem, what drove his decisions, what he was running from with his two years of continuous travel.

It was so beautiful and poetic. I loved it.
