This review is also posted on my blog, Anatea's Bookshelf. 
 This review contains unavoidable spoilers for Just One Day and minor spoliers for Just One Year. 
 When I finished Just One Day, I was left speechless and schocked. I couldn't believe it ended where it did, and of course, I was eagerly anicipating Just One Year. For months I waited, and waited... It finaly came out, and I got my fingers on it, and it left me a little disappointed. It wasn't what I expected it to be. It was a good book nevertheless, but still disappointing for me. 
 Just One Year is more a companion novel to Just One Day than a sequel. It starts in Paris, after he left Lulu. He is confused and all he knows is that he needs to find a girl named Lulu. He is lost and heartbroken. In this book, he's not just trying to find Lulu, but he is also trying to find himself. The journy is long and sad at most times. He doesn't know what's happening to him. He has a feeling it's because he lost one girl who ment something to him and he doesn't know how to continue with his life from that point, but he's also trying to reestablish some broken relationships he left behind when he left for his trip around Europe. 
 His journey through this book leads him to Cancun, Mexico, to India and some other short trips. Those trips were funny and interesting at some times, but mostly I found myself borred with them, and just waiting for them to be over. I knew what I was expecting from this book, and what point I was waiting for. 
 The thing I enjoyed most in Just One Day, their day spent in Paris, was left out in Just One Year. I was looking forward to seeing how Willem saw that day, even tought we did see some moments from his memories, but I still missed it in this book. Also, the part that left me disappointed, is the end. I expected Gayle Forman would put some final clousure to it, and she did in some way, because we knew now how both, Willem and Lulu felt, and we could assume what would happen, but still I would preffer it written. 
 All in all, I believe you can't not like a book written by Gayle Forman. It has a beautiful writing, it has a great storyline, a great characters, but in this one, not everything was great and it kept me from truly enjoying this book.
