Just One Day by Gayle Forman
3.0

I adored If I Stay and it's sequel Where I Went (maybe even more than the first book) by Forman. I figured this was the summer of the Just one Day series. It starts off similarly to that old romantic flick Before Sunrise, but then the one day encounter ends about halfway through the book and we follow our heroine Allyson back home from her Paris fling and how her encounter changes her. A decent coming of age novel, but I think Forman has a pattern of delivering a better story with her sequels, because I ended up liking Just One Year much more.
