Just One Day (Just One Day, #1)
by
by
Allyson is a straight-laced good girl. She does everything just the way she's supposed to...until one day she doesn't.
For just one day, Allyson throws caution to the wind and goes to Paris with Willem, whom she's just met. That one day changes everything.
In the first part of this book Allyson's struggle with her good girl persona, her constant self doubt, and low self-esteem got to me. I just wanted so badly to see her grow into herself and find out that you have to do what makes YOU happy. And she does. And because she does, this book becomes so much more than a love story. Yes, the love story is adorable, but the real story is a coming-of-age story about friendship, about trusting your instincts, and learning to be yourself. I loved it.
A word of caution though: I literally groaned and slammed the book shut. Literally. I can't wait for Just One Year! :)
