But I think part of that is because you're in college. I mean, it's kind of designed to let you be less responsible and such. But YES do read this one. Gayle Forman is THE BEST. ^_^Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066485364496294907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-70433582909876153382013-03-18T23:31:49.160-04:002013-03-18T23:31:49.160-04:00No one fed ME cookies in college! Clearly, I was ...No one fed ME cookies in college! Clearly, I was going to the wrong place. I think I liked being the college age much better than I liked actually being at college. I mean, eighteen - mid twenties is such a good age to be - your dreams and ideals are still bright and shiny and passionately held, you're not tied down by a million responsibilites so you CAN do stuff like spontaneous road-trips and ridiculously late nights, but some of those crazy teenage hormones have calmed down by then. Plus you've got a slightly better grasp on who the hell you are and what you want, but you've still got some becoming to do. So good!<br /><br />I loved If I Stay (one of the very, very few books that made me cry) and Where She Went, but I haven't gotten around to picking up this one yet. SOON MY PRETTY, SOON.

Every time there was a Dutch word I was like ...YES! Every time there was a Dutch word I was like JUDITH! So basically this book was a combination of college thoughts, Paris thoughts and JUDITH. Not to mention you were the one who told me to take this one to Paris with me, so you're very much a part of this experience (I hope you're feeling pleased with yourself right about now!). <br /><br />But seriously, good luck with the college thing.

I personally didn't think college was all that. In fact, with the exception of second semester freshman year, college kind of sucked. Or was at least mediocre. Anyway... not gonna get into a tangent about college... just wanted to say I NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! :) Candice @ The Grown-Up YAhttp://thegrownupya.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-67478200626326584582013-03-18T10:42:23.293-04:002013-03-18T10:42:23.293-04:00I absolutely LOVED this book.

I had never read a Gayle Forman book before this, but now that I have, I can definitely say that she knows how to write such real, authentic stories. <br /><br />I found that I identified with Allyson quite a bit, especially her transforming journey in the book. I loved that this book was set in college too! College was the most amazing time of my life, although it did have its low points. Overall though, I learned a lot about myself and what I was capable of, and I made some of the best friends ever.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-57562342183913159922013-03-17T15:44:35.981-04:002013-03-17T15:44:35.981-04:00Ah, wonderful review lady!

The main reason I loved this book as much as I did was because I could understand Allyson so well. I think she and I are at the same point in our lives (pretty much the start of college, though it's actually my second time starting :) anyway) and EVERYTHING she felt and did... it felt like such a personal story. Though she eventually grew out of it and I'm still getting used to it. Despite the "simple" story, the character growth is so very well done, and probably one of my favorites in books EVER. Plus the Dutch words... I HAD to like this book, y'know ;)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-77991499199050351492013-03-17T13:07:29.654-04:002013-03-17T13:07:29.654-04:00I loved this book and your review.

I'm a Gayle Forman fan...JUST ONE DAY <33333 <br />I'm a Gayle Forman fan now and forever so I LOVE reading reviews for any of her books!<br />I agree - I saw a few people who were upset with the fact that Allyson was so torn up about this boy she knew for only a day, but it was special day and we're girls! These things HAPPEN. I feel like so many of us have done the same! I felt like it was realistic and it wasn't JUST the boy that got her so lost in her own life. There were so many other realizations too about herself, her parents, her friends, school... <br />Great review! :) Brittany @ The Book Addicts Guidehttp://www.bookaddictsguide.comnoreply@blogger.com
