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.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Sometimes I really enjoyed it and other times not so much. I related to a lot of the story. Of course I am a little more bias being into Language Arts/English.. The whole Shakespeare thing grabbed my attention. I will probably read the next book to see what hap...
The concerns about Allyson's safety kept me from trusting the love built between Allyson and Willem. Their experience in Paris is not so romantic to touch my feelings, etc. Well, this experience may touch Allyson more deeply than me. But according to what I read, it's hard to trust such a man so muc...
Just One Day is well-written. Immensely well-written. If you pick this book up, you'll definitely get hours of entertainment. However, the plot line is lacking from the get go. This trilogy really could have been just one novel.The best thing about the entire trilogy for me was the locations. This o...
