Just One Year

By: Gayle Forman

Narrated by: Daniel May

Just One Day. Just One Year. Just One Read.

Before you find out how their story ends, remember how it began....


When he opens his eyes, Willem doesn’t know where in the world he is—Prague or Dubrovnik or back in Amsterdam. All he knows is that he is once again alone, and that he needs to find a girl named Lulu. They shared one magical day in Paris, and something about that day—that girl—makes Willem wonder if they aren’t fated to be together. He travels all over the world, from Mexico to India, hoping to reconnect with her. But as months go by and Lulu remains elusive, Willem starts to question if the hand of fate is as strong as he’d thought. . . .
The romantic, emotional companion to Just One Day, this is a story of the choices we make and the accidents that happen—and the happiness we can find when the two intersect.

I love this book

I have both read and listened to this book multiple times and its still one of my favorite stories . ever

Very difficult to follow

This was an interesting, well written, well performed, book, but was kinda all over the place. It had a lot of smaller secondary characters and different settings, that were difficult to keep track of. I’d encourage someone to read the physical book, not listen to it on audible.

Better than the first!

Performance was amazing; substance of story was incredibly rich; and ending was pleasantly perfect. I loved this book so much more than the whiny Lulu character’s story. Can’t wait to read it again!

Definitely recommend!

Love the narration! I could really feel the story and visualive the characters, scenery, everything.
Double happiness is real!!!

Book was a good sequel, but bad reader

I really couldn’t stand the reader here. It made me want to fall asleep. The book was a decent sequel.
