Just one day by Gayle Forman

So to apologise for my long updateless past, I'm posting some reviews today. Maybe I'll even write reviews on Cress and Ignite me, but we'll see about that. Firstly, I want to write reviews on the books I read during the Bout of books read-a-thon, which was a month ago. I know, I know! Sorry again.

Allyson Healey's life is exactly like her suitcase—packed, planned, ordered. Then on the last day of her three-week post-graduation European tour, she meets Willem. A free-spirited, roving actor, Willem is everything she’s not, and when he invites her to abandon her plans and come to Paris with him, Allyson says yes. This uncharacteristic decision leads to a day of risk and romance, liberation and intimacy: 24 hours that will transform Allyson’s life.

A book about love, heartbreak, travel, identity, and the accidents” of fate, "Just One Day" shows us how sometimes in order to get found, you first have to get lost. . . and how often the people we are seeking are much closer than we know.

This book! OMG! One of the best books ever! Go read it and then come back. I don't advise you to read this if you haven't read the book, because it's SPOILERY!
I love the whole idea of this boook. One decision that changes your wold. One day that transforms you into a new person. For one day you can be whoever you want to be.
Allyson was a lot like me. I know I say that for a lot, but I see myself or people I know in so many characters. I like my things to be in order. I can't go to school without making a minute-by-minute plan. I almost never make impulsive decisions. (Except for books. I'm impulsively buying books all the time. It's turning into a problem already...) And then Alysson just decides to Paris with this guy she doesn't know. I so want to see Paris and London (for the second time) and New York and LA and Moscow and Athens (Bulgaria is so close to Greece and yet I have never been there.) And a thousand other places. But back to the book. So Willem shows Allyson Paris, but not the Eiffel tower or the Louvre.  No, he shows her those secret places the tourist rarely visit. And for me that's a dream come true.
Willem. Willem.Willem.Willem. Don't even make me start. I want this guy's life. He just travels and joins actor troupes. I would totally do that! If I had the guts for it. Or the acting talent.
And then there is this part of the book. The year after that day. Again I have to say I'm a lot like Allyson. I'm the only child (not that my parents ever wanted or tried to have a second one) and all my parents' hopes lay on my back. I have to be a straight "A"  student, I have to play the guitar, I have to learn German and I'll soon have to learn Russian. All kinds of "abnormal" behaviour is forbidden for me. Going to parties, staying out late, getting a dress or a T-shirt that doesn't for in my parents' style.....I can do all those things, but to them it will be strange.
I liked how Allyson had the courange to do what she wanted. She wants to study French and she does. She want to go to Paris and she does. And I loved the ending.
So you get it why I want to do crazy stuff and why I probably never will. And after this (probably very annoying) speech/rant I'm going to stop writing.
I'm sorry. That was stupid. I shouldn't have ranted about my perosnal life like that.
I guess I'll see ya next time.
