Waiting on Wednesday #12: Just One Year, by Gayle Forman

Can you fall in love in just one day? Can you become a new person? How about in just one year? In Just One Day--and its companion novel Just One Year--sheltered American good girl Allyson “LuLu” Healey and easygoing actor Willem De Ruiter are about to find out against a guidebook-worthy array of foreign backdrops. 

Equal parts romance, coming-of-age-tale, mystery and travel romp (with settings that span from England’s Stratford upon Avon to Paris to Amsterdam to India’s Bollywood) Just One Day and Just One Year show how in looking for someone else, you just might wind up finding yourself. 

After spending an amazing day and night together in Paris, Just One Year is Willem's story, picking up where Just One Day ended. His story of their year of quiet longing and near-misses is a perfect counterpoint to Allyson's own as Willem undergoes a transformative journey, questioning his path, finding love, and ultimately, redefining himself.

I simply can't wait to read Willem's POV of Just One Day.  Gayle Forman is one of my favorite authors; I'm pretty sure she can do no wrong.

What are you waiting on?
