Allyson and her friend have graduated high school and are on a trip around Europe. While in England they skip out a Shakespeare tour for a play outside. There Allyson meets Willem an actor in the play, and she talks about how she missed out on Paris and really wanted to go. Willem takes her to Paris and shows her around. While she is sleeping Willem disappears and Allyson believes he has left her to find her way back to England. Which she dose. The summer ends and Allyson goes back to the US and starts at college. In one class she has to do a project on Shakespeare's but doesn't want to do it on the play she saw while in London as it reminds her of Willem. That one day changed Allyson's life.
I liked the book. It was cheesy, yet fun and romantic at the same time. Allyson was a bit stupid to go off to another contrary with someone she only just met, and it backfired in her face a little. I found her naive.
I wasn't a massive fan of Willem's. I found he was far to cocky.
I liked how one day changed Allyson's life. It made her more open minded.
I did find her a bit selfish when she didn't want to do the Shakespeare play. I mean get over it.
When i first read the book and they were in England, and they referred to anything English - that American people tend to get wrong - I could totally hear an American saying it wrong and me correcting them in my head. Maybe because I hear it so often living in Canada that I am used to it.
Side note: I read this book in 2015 and in 2016. In 2016 when I read it I planed on reading Just One Year right after and only got 100 pages in, and I didn't mark this book down. So it's a cheat book that's going into my 2017 books
