"Readers who can get past expecting another Where She Went will find a lovingly crafted account of the way some relationships stick with you forever and of how a guy becomes a man.\nFor the second time, Gayle Forman revisits a romance from the guy's perspective. In Where She Went, Adam knew nearly everything about Mia, the love of his life who almost died and then enigmatically broke up with him. Here, Willem doesn't even know Lulu's real name and only remembers one full day of intense connection. Hence &amp;quot;Just One Year&amp;quot; becomes less a story of reunion than of Willem's journey of self-discovery as he tries to understand why he travels so much and why he can't truly commit to any interested women.\nJust One Day reveals that Willem and Allyson will meet again, but Forman here focuses less on the romantic reunion than on the journey back home, however defined: a place, a person, or the realization that there are people who love you. It's a powerful story but more brooding and resentful than Forman's previous work. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
