Going into this book I had very little faith that I would like it. Though I loved If I Stay and Where She Went this particular book didn't really seem like my cup of tea but the hype drew me into it. The last books I read because of the hype was Eleanor and Park and The Maze Runner, both of which I did not enjoy. So now I've read Just One Day and I have to say it was not what I expected. It was more that just one day, and that one day was kind of meaningful and cute, not as life altering as I thought it would be, and when that one day ended I was so confused! Huge cliffhanger thinking Willam left her, or maybe it was her who left him, and then you have to go through college with Allyson and her controlling parents, and Allyson's adventure in trying to find Willam and more importantly Lulu. Finding her Independence, changing her own future, and making her way back to Paris. to find him.
And so she does...and that's when it ends, him just opening the door for her..THAT"S IT!? 
Now to the main part, was the hype right or wrong? Was it the same as Eleanor and Park and The Maze Runner?
YES. Yes it was. The one day seems very boring and uninteresting if I'm honest. The supporting characters were somewhat interesting but mostly irritating. The stupid ending after all that searching! I know there's another book that follows right from the end of just one day but after this I could care less about what happens for Allyson and Willam. 
I seem to not be having a very good month for start, maybe the next pick will be one no one has hyped because clearly I don't like anything that everyone else likes.
I know others have enjoyed this book and I'm glad you did, I loved If I Stay and Where She Went and I'm sorry that I did not enjoy more of Gayle Foreman's work. 
Thanks for reading!
