From the author of the international best seller If I Stay, now a major film starring Chloe Grace Moretz. When sheltered American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England, there's an undeniable spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left.

Quando abre os olhos, Willem não sabe onde está… pode ser em Praga, em Dubrovnik ou em casa, em Amsterdã. Só o que sabe é que está sozinho outra vez e que precisa encontrar uma garota chamada Lulu. Os dois compartilharam uma noite mágica em Paris, e algo naquele dia, naquela garota, faz Willem pensar que os dois talvez estejam destinados a ficar juntos.

To say Alex has had it rough is an understatement. His father’s gone, his mother is struggling with mental health issues, and he’s now living with an aunt and uncle who are less than excited to have him. Almost everyone treats him as though he doesn’t matter at all, like he’s nothing. So when a kid at school actually tells him he’s nothing, Alex snaps, and gets violent. Fortunately, his social worker pulls some strings and gets him a job at a nursing home for the summer rather than being sent to juvie.

Hvad nu, hvis det, du troede var slutningen på historien, i virkeligheden blot var begyndelsen på det næste kapitel? Indtil videre har det uundgåelige ikke virket særlig godt for Aaron Stein.

Det sidste kapitel. Og en ny begyndelse. Efter én magisk dag sammen i Paris mistede amerikanske Allyson kontakten til hollandske Willem. Bogen "Bare en dag" fulgte Allyson og hendes ønske om at finde sammen med Willem igen. Efterfølgeren "Bare et år" gav os historien fra Willems perspektiv om det år, hvor de ikke var sammen. Nu har de endelig fundet hinanden igen, og "Bare en nat" er det allersidste kapitel i parrets romantiske historie.
