A review by kbaird
Just One Night by Gayle Forman
5.0
I was so happy when I heard this half book was happening. I always want to know what happens next in books and I definitely had to know what happened after the door closed. I have to disagree with some reviews that I read that said that "Just One Year" was terrible because you still don't get to find out what happens next.
I think it was necessary for Willem to go on his journey to find Allyson before they can fully be together. This book does a good job of filling in the gaps and getting into the heads of other characters to find out how they are truly feeling about the situation. I enjoyed getting all the sides of the story of how Willem and Allyson finally found each other. I do feel that these two are now ready to be with each other. I was so happy when Allyson found out about Willem's job in New York. You definitely could feel her happiness. I will always want to know what happens next, but I am satisfied with this short story. You can tell that they will be together and make each other happy. I don't need more books to tell me that much (although I would love another one!). Willem and Allyson finally finding each other and all that comes after the door is closed is a perfect ending to their story.
