Just One Day
by Gayle Forman
DUTCH PEOPLE CAN'T CASUALLY SPEAK DANISH MRS. FORMAN. Idk why the fuck this detail bothered me so much. Dutch is much closer to German than the Nordic languages and even then it would've been a struggle to communicate. There's a difference between mutual reading comprehension between the languages and actual ability to have conversations like it's nothing with a complete stranger in another language you don't know because it bears similarities to your own.Wtf. Even a quick Google search is enough. Aside from that this book is so cheesy and trite, every possible trope is there, the main characters' complaining and ungratefulness pissed me off and the insta-love is unbelievable and forced. My idealist 14 year old self loved it so much hence the second star. I seriously wish Americans would stop writing about Europe. No matter how much research they do they always seem to stereotype and screw up everything about different cultures .
