Just One Day
by Gayle Forman
2014
Amazing, I really can't get over how beautiful and meaningful this book was
2018
I just can't get over how much I love this book. It just makes me feel so good, I can't explain it. It's like, I usually like the dialogue in books better than anything else, but with this book? There isn't anything I don't like about it. Every sentence and every thought and every word… it just made me feel as wonderful and I remember feeling the first time I read it. It is not a book I return to when I want to read the few scenes I liked the best, when I return to it I need to read the whole thing, so I can experience everything all over again. And I still can't believe after all this time I haven't read the companion "Just one year", but I need to remedy that right away. I might not relate to Willem and much as I did with Allyson but I really don't care, I need to know the details of the other side of the story.
I don't know how Gayle Forman was able to craft this thing and make it one of my favorite books, even after all this time since first reading it. I wish I could stumble upon more books that brought these feelings out of me.

What are words?
It's been eight years since the first time I read this book and it still hits me right in the heart.
I can admit that it is not perfect in every little thing, and a lot of people might see this book as a love at first sight YA romance and that's it. But for me it's that case where every reader makes his own interpretation of the story. And the way I feel the story... it makes me smile all the way through. For me, it's this journey of self-discovery that was triggered by one day spent in Paris with a boy.
I try not to read this book every year, because I don't think I need to, even though it is my favorite book of all time, but there are times when I just have this need to re-read it, to try and absorb some of Allyson's growth and courage through the words.
There is a warm feeling in my heart, and I think I will try to maintain it before I decide to read anything else.
I'm probably just going to watch "As you like it" because of this book.
Ah... The feels :)
