nenich19 's review for:
Just One Day
by Gayle Forman
Romance. But not quite.
Broken heart. But not quite.
This reads more like a quest on finding oneself. Allyson just needed a gentle push to wake up and realise that her carefully constructed life shouldn't really be all that carefully constructed. She shouldn't have to follow someone else's dreams. And, if she didn't know what her own dreams were, she could very easily discover them.
'Just One Day' is more a coming-of-age story than a romance novel. This is a young girl, just turned eighteen, discovering that life has a lot to offer her. So, she grabs it by the horns, so to speak. And, eventually, she finds that love could be a part of it. So she goes out to take it, too.
I feel like I grew up right along Allyson while reading this book. It's beautifully written, emotional, although not overbearing. Carefully avoids being cliche, but without losing that timelessness of romance and falling in love.
I would highly reccommend this book. It's beautiful.
