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.

I stopped at chapter 15 .. the narration is very slow and full of un-interesting things lol! And a bit emotionally detached for my liking.. (view spoiler)[this Ann is really annoying me! i can't wait till the part where he meet Lulu.. now he's going to cancun and hopefully he'll know things about her.. (hide spoiler)]

I agree, it's very slow and not so interesting

@Princess how did you find the first book?

i didn't like the first book. i'm just curious that's why i continue this

Same for me.. i thought Will's POC would be interesting..

54% (view spoiler)[ I'm thinking of stopping here because I feel that I will not miss anything if I stopped reading, but I'm curious on his POV on the play on Just One Day (hide spoiler)]

ending: (view spoiler)[ I like the story but there's no feels (hide spoiler)]

I feel like this is not worth my time reading after all your negative thoughts :( Might have to push it back down the pile.

I know, I haven't picked it up the whole day and I'm tempted to DNF it :(

Hello mods! Can you please reset the date to October 1st? Thank you!

Reading from the 1st of October 2015

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I really loved the first book and I'm looking forward to know how it'll turn out!

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)["Accidents. It's all about the accidents."

So that's how Willem's parents ended up together. A series of accidents indeed. At least Willem made an effort to go back, but that's really a big misunderstanding since he made a promise to Lulu. I wonder how this will play out. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12

(view spoiler)[When the crew wants to help in your quest to find your true love. I seriously love how Willem's friends are so ready to lend a hand, though how futile it must sound! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 19

(view spoiler)[I like Kate.I like how she listened to Willem and offered her opinions straight up. She does bring up a solid argument on choices and accidents. Yes, accidents happen, but sometimes it is still our choice on how we react or what we do about them. We always have to act and not just flow with life's currents. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 47

(view spoiler)[I had the same question as Kate! If Willem promised to go back, why did he bring everything with him? Wouldn't Lulu at least have some assurance that he'll be back if he left something behind. Glad it was brought up! (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[I had a hard time getting through with this book because I really found it boring. That was a huge disappointment because I've looked forward to reading this. And that ending? I needed to read the 2.5 book to know what happened! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it was such a waste of time! and you're totally right about all the inconsequential stuff that we had to sit through, and then just when it got interesting, it finished!! I mean what?! (hide spoiler)]

September: I genuinely think I think it being from his point of view rather than "Lulus" she was just whiny and annoying.

October (view spoiler)[ okay I'm bored again. (hide spoiler)]

March: (view spoiler)[ I kind of want them to just be reunited already!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: I liked it a lot more than the first, Willem seemed a lot less mopey about things than Allyson did. But I enjoyed it. Not a favourite but still good.

Starting this today!

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[So sad that Willem feels depressed! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27: (view spoiler)[So just like that, Willem is an actor! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 41: (view spoiler)[So frustrating that Willem keeps getting so close then far away! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Really disappointed that we didn't get to see what happened after the reunion. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ such a mega let down! (hide spoiler)]

I have had a hard time getting into this book. I started it at the end of November and have been reading it little by little. Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[I am glad that he is trying to find Lulu. However it is going to be incredibly hard for him since he doesn't know much about her. It is cute how he kept the watch though. (hide spoiler)]

Chap 16: (view spoiler)[Searching for Allyson while trying to seem rich.. Interesting.. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2: (view spoiler)[It is awesome that he is getting to be in the play instead of the understudy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It is amazing how he connected the play to Lulu. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I don't know how I feel about the ending.. I'm going to have to think about it. (hide spoiler)]
