Just One Day. Just One Year. Just One Read.
Before you find out how their story ends, remember how it began....
When he opens his eyes, Willem doesn’t know where in the world he is—Prague or Dubrovnik or back in Amsterdam. All he knows is that he is once again alone, and that he needs to find a girl named Lulu. They shared one magical day in Paris, and something about that day—that girl—makes Willem wonder if they aren’t fated to be together. He travels all over the world, from Mexico to India, hoping to reconnect with her. 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. . . .
The romantic, emotional companion to Just One Day, this is a story of the choices we make and the accidents that happen—and the happiness we can find when the two intersect.

From Booklist
In Just One Day (2013), readers followed Allyson as she struggled to understand what happened to Willem after one magical day and night in Paris—before he seemingly up and left. Now it’s Willem’s turn to relive that day, and search for the girl he called “Lulu.” Beginning where the previous novel left off, Willem is aimless, restless, and curious about the intersection “where love meets luck, where fate meets will.” With few details about Lulu to go on, he spends a year following dead-end trails, from Mexico to India, seeking the girl with the dark hair that he met one day by accident. This isn’t so much about the romance between Willem and Lulu—although the essence of it permeates every page—as it is about how Willem’s search leads him to find anchors in his own life. Travel is revelatory for Willem, as is Shakespearean acting and mulling over big universe questions like chance versus choice; at each stop, Forman gracefully peels back mysterious Willem’s layers. As satisfying as both of these books are, readers are going to wish for a third. Grades 9-12. --Ann Kelley

A tale of finding happiness, of finding love and finding yourself
By Miss Bonnie
'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. But then she was gone. And only after I'd been filled up by her, by that day, did I understand how empty I really was.'
Finally. We have Willem's story. Just One Day left readers contemplating what possibly could have gone wrong, why he never came back to Allyson and if they were ever going to be able to find each other again. Just One Year possesses the same melancholy feel as its predecessor with Willem stumbling around in an apparent daze, unable to trust the stability of his feelings for Allyson because after all... they only knew each other for a single day.
'...it's Lulu I miss, and I know it must be displaced, my loneliness a heat-seeking missile, her the heat. Only I can't seem to find a new source of heat.'
This is a tough one for me to figure out how I feel about. Willem was a tough nut to crack and I went through the majority of the book not feeling any sort of compassion towards him, no pity for his plight, when I think that would have been the regular response. He gave up his search for her very early on and considering we already know what Allyson went through physically and emotionally makes me sad for her. Willem was convinced to start looking for her again by friends and as much as he kept saying he was still looking for her that whole time, it wasn't an active search. It felt like he was simply sitting back and waiting for something to happen, for her to find him.
'The truth and its opposite are flip sides of the same coin.'
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. This is actually what I had originally hoped for her in Just One Day; for Allyson to recognize the incredibly transformed person she had become (and she did) but that even though it resulted from her meeting Willem that she didn't need him to continue to be as such. Willem found the independence and strength their meeting imbued and used it in a positive manner and while I'm glad at least one of them did this, I never quite liked Willem enough in order to root for him. I never saw what appealed to Allyson and I never understood quite why they transformed each others lives in the first place.
While I'm glad to have the closure of Willem's side of the story, I still can't help but feel the ending would have benefited from... more. 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.
Just One Year is a tale of transformation, of finding happiness, of finding love and finding yourself.

This is So NOT the Story I Wanted!!!!
By The Book Runner
I wanted a love story, a finding of kindred spirits and a change of circumstances that allowed two lonely souls to discover that they can drop the masks and be themselves with each other. This book was a journey, but not a love story. It had Themes of identity and connection and it ended EXACTLY where Just One Day ended. So not satisfying!
What did I want? I wanted to hear Willem side of the story and his intent to find his Lulu. I wanted the last 30% of the story to be what happened AFTER he opens the door and discovers that Allyson has found him. Does he change his man-whore ways. Is she the one? Was it all in his head or is she the one, the last one? Just One Day started their love story and made us yearn for their reunion, "I imagine my Lulu waking up the next day, finding me gone, reading a note that promised a quick return that never materialized. I wonder, as I have so many times, how long it took her to think the worst of me." But as voraciously as I took this one in, the expected reunion and subsequent "love story" doesn't happen and was a REAL let down.
Willem is depressed after losing his Lulu, but is it her absence of the desertion of his family? His father and grandfather were dead and his mother had always kept him at arm's length. "my mother and I, we both speak Dutch and English. But we never could speak the same language". There wasn't anyone who cared enough for him to feel that his life mattered. He was able to fill this void with the temporary adoration of fans of his acting and one night stands, but after meeting Lulu/Allyson, he woke up to the fact that he had been lost the last three years and was drifting. This story tells of how he puts his heart back together and discover who he is.
Where the Just One Day paralleled Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, this one was a parallel of As You Like It and takes place mostly in Holland with Willem's friends playing subtle secondary characters. Willem identifies with Orlando, from the play, and discovers that his life experiences, especially his time with Lulu, start to make sense to him and gives him a life purpose.
So, I wanted a love story and this was a boy coming of age story. While well written and full of interesting travel, I would probably not have purchased the book had I known. I wanted to know what happened when these two characters got back TOGETHER and what happens now that they are a year older and changed in so many ways.
There was some fairly non-descriptive sex scenes (similar to book one only not with main character!) and some profanity
Would I/Did I buy it? Yes
Would I read it again? No
Would I recommend it to friends? Yes, but letting them know that it is JUST Willem's story.

Kind of a let down. Sorry.
By christysusan
I found myself completely uninterested, and at times downright bored, of Willem's tale. I was hoping Allyson would make it into the book sooner - that did NOT happen. A let down.
