Just A Year

Product Information

Instead, she throws us fully into Willem’s head, leaving us to grasp at the straws of his connections to his remaining family members and their impact on his life.

One day of watching the rise and fall of her sleep under the rolling clouds in that park and feeling so peaceful that I fell asleep myself. This starts off the day that Willem and Allyson are separated and then covers the year until they meet again. And I love this; I love that Willem and Yael have moved on from their grief, but still find ways to move on from it together.

Fue increíble leer desde su perspectiva y entender el dolor que siente por saber que ha perdido algo, pero sin saber el qué. I'll try and swallow my bitter resentment at not getting more Allyson/Willem time and just be happy that they did, finally, find their way back to each other. Like how short Willem was selling himself, how used every trick to avoid getting his feelings involved, how he created this persona and that was the one living and it was all quite good to read. Their awkward beginning quickly turns into a close friendship that eventually sparks into a powerful attraction that Caleb is fiercely opposed to pursuing because he’d never willingly break Teagan’s heart.

After reading this book I am convinced that their story would have had a horrible ending if he had stayed.

There are lots of reasons that he behaves as he did for the events of Just One Day, and seeing him recognize his motivations, face his demons, and overcome the stings of his past made this book so satisfying as a reader. Teagan (who is our main heroine) is entering her sophomore year in college when her family decides to take in a British exchange student. Thomas (pen name) was born in the 1960s and grew up in a variety of locations, mainly in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. What a journey, Teagan and Caleb stole my heart , their romance gave me goosebumps and it was full of emotions. I needed to see Willem and Allyson's transformations being applied since we as readers were only afforded a quick glance before reaching the final page.

Not in the way I was saddened by Just One Day—where I had some serious case of sobbing my heart out about the smallest of things. Personally, I’ve always though X was a cesspool from the beginning with the way they would ban/censor speech over someone’s feelings being hurt or going against the “accepted” viewpoint, and it got much, much worse during the 2020 election season (did anyone here not bother to read the “Twitter Files” saga? Where She Went is more sequel than companion novel, whereas Just One Year relies on the dates, time periods, and locations of Just One Day to be fully experienced at its raw potential. Scorched by a string of nightmare ex-girlfriends, Lex Rollins resolves to date only nice women…then is lured by siren Lia before midnight! Willem's story became less about their romance and more about him discovering things about himself and becoming a better person because he met her.When he opens his eyes, Willem doesn’t know where in the world he is—Prague or Dubrovnik or back in Amsterdam. Twitter launched a new career for me in social media, which eventually led to product and program management.

But as months go by and Lulu remains elusive, Willem starts to question if the hand of fate is as strong as he’d thought. I still fell deeply in love with both of these characters and their desperate devotion to each other. JON it’s told in a third person featuring not only Willem and Allyson but also their friends and I wasn’t a fan of how it was constructed. It was like she gave me her whole self, and somehow as a result, I gave her more of myself than I ever realized there was to give.

Typical stories retold with the boys point of view usually just tell the exact same story with a few added scenes thrown in for good measure. Then he remembers but he doesn’t know what to do so he tries to move on but also don’t give up on looking for her and it’s all really interesting and sad to see. The dialogue was stiff in the flow -- not the norm sizzling vibes I usually find with most of her other books. I honestly spent the whole book praying Willem didn't fall in love with another girl, when in reality it was never about that, he was learning to love himself. This book comes from the author of the international bestseller, If I Stay, now a major film starring Chloe Grace Moretz.
