DNF Book Review. Just One Year

Welcome

To another DNF book review. The last DNF book was breaking dawn.

Book: Just One Year
Author: Gayle Forman
Pages
Publisher: Speak
Started: January 7th 2017
Finished: January 13th 2017
Goodreads Rating: 2/5


About the book
Just One Year follows Willem and his journey to find Allyson or 'Lulu' as he calls her. He goes back to the club that they had left Allyson's belongings, before he returns to Holland and catches up with his friends - and that's how far I got.



My review
I like Gayle Forman's books and this maybe controversial but I prefer the first books in her duologys. The book in the female perspective.

I struggled with reading Just One Year that I didn't finish it when I first read it. I preferred Just One Day.

For companion books I prefers where she went (if I stay companion) a lot more then this one.

What I did like about this book was the fact that something that seemed so unimportant in Allyson's story and just a part of the experience she goes through is a big factor in the end of her story and  beginning of Willem's story.

I struggled to get into the book, it didn't flow as well as Just One Day did and I felt even more disconnected with Willem in the short amount of pages that I read. I have on many occasions tried to read the book and couldn't.
