Traveling Through Pages rated it 11 years ago
This was overall a very fun and easy read! I loved the first third of the book and the last third, the middle wasn't that great for me because it was a little boring. My favorite parts were when Allyson was traveling! It was so magical reading about all of the places she went, especially Paris. This...

Are you effing kidding me right now? I'm so pissed off with this book. When I got to the end I was actually enraged and that hasn't happened to me in a very long time. This book spends nearly 400 pages setting up something and then the author just freaking stops writing the damn book. I invested f...

Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!I am not usually a fan of romance books, but this one took me by surprise. It was mainly the fact that Willem’s Dutch that I wanted to read this book (because I’m Dutch myself), and I actaully really loved it.The Characters – I didn’t really li...

I think whether or not you enjoy Just One Day / Just One Year hinges on how magical you thought Lulu/Allyson and Willem's "epic one day in Paris" was. Half of Just One Day and all of it's companion, Just One Year, is the aftermath -- how much their lives and the people the become changes after spend...

I have to say I struggled through the first half of this book. Allyson was really hard for me to really like and connect to throughout most of the book. But the last half was great. I loved watching her grow up little by little. Make decisions for herself, come out of her shell and blossom in so man...

Such a perfect book.The middle was a bit slow for a few chapters, but that was my only complaint. And, actually, I think it helped the story more than hurt it. I found myself as frustrated as Allyson in those parts.I love how real the characters were. I didn't especially like Melanie or Allyson's mo...

The first third was awesome, the next bit was...confusing. There was a little bit of a stumble in the middle for me, a moment of thinking "where is this going exactly?" but Forman recovered deftly. Once Allyson begins channeling her inner Lulu again towards the back after of the book I was hooked ag...
