Love and loss all in Just One Day


Recent high school grad and good girl, Allyson Healey, is on a whirlwind tour of Europe when she meets Willem—a Dutch actor. At and underground performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, there is an undeniable spark between the two. When fate steps in and brings them together once again, Allyson sheds her sheltered exterior and agrees to go to Paris with the handsome actor. But after just one day together, she awakes to find Willem gone…with nothing but questions left in his wake.

Back in America, Allyson can’t shake Willem from her mind. And even with the new world of college offering her a chance to forget her adventure in Paris, she finds herself breaking away from other’s expectations. Realizing her passions, she starts searching for clues about Willem’s whereabouts.

 

Just One Day by Gayle Forman (available Jan. 8) explores the heartbreak of unrequited love with an added air of mystery and adventure. Forman creates a story that draws you in, and even has you asking along with Allyson: what happened to Willem?

 

In this open-ended novel, readers will follow Allyson on her journey of self-discovery and be left frantically awaiting the companion story—written in Willem’s point of view—which is set to release Fall 2013.
