Just One Year

One of the most memorable books I've ever read. I was only just getting into reading when I picked up the first book, Just One Day, and I fell in love. I couldn't put it down! And the second one changed my perspective on so many things. Will always have a special place in my heart and will always reread in times when desperately needing inspiration 😇

Mostly while reading this book I was just impatient to just know the main things that had been left unknown from the first book, Just One Day. So I found myself skimming over a lot of it. Not that I didn't care about Willem's story but I think I might have preferred if both stories had been woven into just the one book, instead of a whole separate book. It felt like having to relive a whole year of the story I already knew to find out what happened in just the last moment of - the last few sentences - of each book. It felt like a bit of a waste to have to buy and read a whole book to get to that point, when I think the two stories could have been woven into one book and then come together at the end. Would have been much more satisfying.
