A breathtaking journey toward self-discovery and true love, from the author of If I Stay
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. 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. 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.

I love you, Gayle Forman. I love you for writing books such as
Just One Day: books that stain.
I was so excited to read this new book by Gayle Forman and I will tell
you now, it did not disappoint. I LOOOVED IT! I never thought I’d like the story this much
when I started reading it but when I read the last few words, the story totally
stayed with me. I felt it.
The emotions: happiness, giddiness, sadness, longing, hopefulness… The exciting, the heartbreaking, the Awww…, the OMG!, the Shocks! moments.
The emotions: happiness, giddiness, sadness, longing, hopefulness… The exciting, the heartbreaking, the Awww…, the OMG!, the Shocks! moments.
The theme... discovering yourself and finding true love. Something we all can totally relate to. Something that always comes up in most YA novels. But Allyson's journey is definitely captivating and unforgettable.
The characters… Oh, Allyson (aka
Lulu) and Willem. I love, love, love the two of them. The secondary characters
also added a lot of layers to the story. Melanie, Dee, The roommates, The parents, The Ausies, Wren, all of them.
The setting… Paris! How romantic can this get? Forman showed a different
side of Paris that I have not read before. This is just the place.
The ending… Why oh why, Gayle Forman, did you have to end it the way it
ended? Such a cliffhanger. Please release Just One Year very soon. I can’t wait.
...
...
Meeting someone in a foreign country, joining him on a journey, touring
Paris together for a day, seeing a whole new side of yourself and falling in love... ALL IN JUST ONE DAY. This is
the story… and a whole lot more. If you loved If I Stay and Where She Went,
you’ll definitely love this one.

My Just One Day Playlist:
Daylight by Maroon 5- Alex G cover
"And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close."
Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran
"'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed."
4 AM - Alex G
"I feel so close to you right now
But have you fallen for me yet?"
"It's still your heart that lifts me
And your words that can kill me
But still I'd run for miles
Just to be near you"

Tune In Tuesday is a weekly feature in which bloggers get to
showcase another one of their loves, music! The feature is hosted by
Ginger over at GReads! but until further notice you can find it over at Kate’s Tales of Books and Bands.
Since posting Dia Frampton last week and since The Voice season 3 has already started, I'm posting another artist from The Voice: Javier Colon. He is the winner of season 1 and I just love the tone of his voice. He's my favorite next to Dia from that season. He has done a lot of songs even before the show but today I'm posting the songs he did on and after The Voice.
Here are some of Javier's songs:
1. Stitch by Stitch
2. As long as we got love
3. 1,000 Lights
4. Echo
