So good! So cute!
I did get a little annoyed with Allyson because she had this very annoying "I'm 19 I don't need my mom anymore. I'm an adult!" thing going on and it was frustrating. We all need our parents... Even as adults.

This book was... delighting! I can't really think of a different word to describe it, it made me happy, it made me want to travel, and in a way, it made me want to be 18 again.

Just One Day is the story of Allyson, who finally decides to take a chance, do something she wants to do and go with the flow.

I hated 50% of this book. Seriously, look through my updates. Halfway through, I was ready to crucify Allyson for being a spoiled, selfish, privileged brat who has no respect for other people's cultures and expects the seas to part before her.
Thank goodness "Just One Day" took a turn from there.
I so appreciated Dee's entrance into the story. He made me look at the story (and at the author) in a whole new light. I loved the braver Allyson. I loved the rich details about Europe that Gayle Forman embedded into the story, and it makes me want to say "yes" more, just to see where it will take me. So for that reason, for the way the novel ended - with Allyson being more self-aware and more objectively understanding of the situation - I feel like this book deserves 3.5 stars.
I am actually really looking forward to "Just One Year," with Willem's story. I much preferred Gayle Forman's "Where She Went" (Adam's story) to "If I Stay," and I suspect I will feel the same here.

I'm at a loss for adjectives. Gayle Forman, if I could give you 10 stars or so, I definitely would.
Hands down, my most overwhelming read after Me Before You. And that was months ago.
I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this book was/is. I was smiling for a solid minute after reading, just staring at it, feeling like a lunatic. And that's when I knew that I couldn't write a formal review on this one. I could only gush and beam with joy. Very inspiring, yes. I wanna travel even more.
God, I hope October will come fast. I cannot wait for Just One Year, in Willem's POV. :)

Buddy read with Alexandra Nyx
Doslovno obožavam ovu knjigu!! Predivna je, Gayle je opet dokazala da je sjajna autorica s vrhunskim talentom! Oduševila me svojim opisima osjećaja i cjelokupnom pričom, a moram priznati da sam vrisnula od sreće čim sam došla do onog djela kad Allyson pukne u glavu da ode u Hrvatsku :D
Jedva čekam nastavak! :)
