It was incredibly nice to get the final 'chapter' so to speak for Allyson & Willem. Especially with the way both Just One Day and Just One Year end. I will agree with other reviewers that the use of third person pov was a little strange (whether that be because Forman is so adept with 1st or because it just wasn't quite right) and I'm not sure I needed the 'culmination' of the relationship to be like it was (but I suppose I should have expected it). It tied up a lot of loose ends (Broodje's tackle hug of Allyson was my favorite part) which I was grateful for, but it wasn't as 'ahhhhhh' as the actual novels.

I'm not saying I disliked this novella, because I did. It was cute and I'm happy that Allyson and Willem had the ending they deserved. But was the constant changing POV needed? It confused me a lot.

Much better, but still I want more!

The only thing I didn't really like was the third person omniscient point-of-view. We could see inside too many characters' heads and it switched between characters too often as it went along. The story itself was great, though.

A nice epilogue.

I’m glad that this exists because it left too many unknowns? It made it more real.

Satisfying purely because after an entire year of searching, a reunion is in the works. I still don't believe there is enough substance to a relationship after JUST ONE DAY but this made me happy SO who cares. Review to come.
