NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The compelling companion novel to Just One Day tells Willem’s side of the story and follows his transformative journey toward self-discovery and true love.

“Pushes beyond the realm of star-crossed romance.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“As much a travelogue as it is a romance, this novel will appeal to fans of the movie Before Sunrise or Maureen Johnson’s 13 Little Blue Envelopes.”—School Library Journal

Willem and Lulu shared one magical day in Paris. Then she was gone.

Yet still, Willem feels they are fated to be together. And so he sets off around the world, hoping to find her. But as the months go by and Lulu remains elusive, Willem starts to question if the hand of fate is as strong as he’d thought. . . .

Willem's story of a year of quiet longing and near misses is a perfect counterpoint to Allyson’s own as he undergoes a transformative journey, questioning his path, finding love, and ultimately, redefining himself.
