Willem is gone, she never got his cellphone number or his email address and there is no way to contact him and she returns to America feeling depressed, heart-broken and utterly confused. They spend the night together and the next day Allyson wakes up - alone. As they explore the cobbled streets of Paris, Allyson 'Lulu', starts to fall in love with Willem and she believes that their could be a genuine connection between them. Just One Day is about good girl, eighteen year old Allyson Healey who goes on a tour to Europe (her high school graduation gift from her parents) and on the last day of a tour, she meets a boy and does something completely out of her character - she decides to go to Paris with him, for just one day. And I loved it! Just One Day was a fantastic and I'm eager to begin reading the sequel, Just One Year, straight away! However, Just One Day was deeper and more intense than I realised and the ending was completely and utterly heart-breaking. I've had Just One Day sitting on my TBR pile for a while and I decided to pick it up as it felt like a summer's day and I wanted to sink my teeth into a heart-warming, light-hearted contemporary. I've heard nothing but good things about Gayle Forman's novels. 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. 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.

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.
