I almost didn't re-read Just One Day, but I finally decided to because I knew it would be a quick read. Once I started, I was really glad I did because I didn't remember a lot of what had happened. And then I would have missed out on some of the ways Just One Year fit with it! I hope you'll eventually go back and read the two back-to-back because I think you'll love them all the more :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-12493999104270095992013-10-13T12:18:57.485-04:002013-10-13T12:18:57.485-04:00Thanks E!

I think it makes this one resonate that much more to see how they're so tightly plotted and complementary. And then we can discuss!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-86624404559881795362013-10-13T12:18:06.859-04:002013-10-13T12:18:06.859-04:00Hahah!

I'm ...Hahah! Sorry not sorry, bank account :) <br /><br />I'm actually really excited that you haven't read Just One Day yet because I think you'll love being able to read them back-to-back. PLEASE read them soon so we can discuss!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-60065087462260310722013-10-13T12:16:47.308-04:002013-10-13T12:16:47.308-04:00Yay review twins!

And so happy you agree that these books are like two halves. They just work so well together!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-85924856416852254522013-10-06T13:50:10.733-04:002013-10-06T13:50:10.733-04:00I was avoiding reviews for this one like the plagu...I was avoiding reviews for this one like the plague because I wanted to experience it myself first. I read it Friday and I totally fell in love with Willem, too. Especially all the stuff about his family, I just wanted to give him a big hug. The only thing I wish I had done differently is look back at Just One Day. I loved Just One Day and I thought I remembered it well, but clearly I didn't and I think I would have liked Just One Year even more if I had re-read Just One Day first. Great review!Maggie @ Just a Couple More Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985730765196316941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-29619052087955087422013-10-04T23:30:50.411-04:002013-10-04T23:30:50.411-04:00Ah.

It's been awhile... maybe I will buy the paperback? Oh my god. I have such such problems. haha. I can't wait to see what the fuss is about!

After reading your review, I'm so glad I did that so I can dive right in to Willem's story. But now I'm chomping at the bit to read it because it sounds like it has everything I love in a book. Great review Hannah!

You really can't have one without the other and like you, my perception of Willem was a bit iffy too. So I happily surprised by how much I ended up feeling for him and for his journey. Learning about his past and his family really made a lot of sense. Sigh.. just thinking about the book makes me want to do a re-read of both!
