I had heard great things about this book but was mostly disappointed. I absolutely love If I Stay and this did not match up at all. Granted this book has way less romance and more Allyson character development which I appreciated. And the cast of characters around Allyson and Willem were great.
This book is bittersweet and moving at the same time. Allyson is a girl who has always played by the rules and has never once made a decision because she wanted the outcome. It's been a very selfless life for her, and she's fed up of it. So, when a stranger asks her to go to Paris with him, she agrees. She leaves everyone behind, abandons her plans and just goes. Lulu is born, a better version of herself, and alongside Willem, she finds who she is truly meant to be. However, it's not as happy as that. There is heartbreak, longing and sadness. There are betrayals, fall-outs and rediscoveries. It's an awesome book that I truly recommend.
I was never able to predict this one. Start to finish it took me places I wouldn't have guessed. The characters were so delightfully fleshed out! The emotions were deep and layered. And the locations were magical. I loved getting to “see” them all with this book.
P.S. Excellent audiobook!
i looooved this book so much, though the end is kind of killing me, it was amazing! i'm so excited to read just one year so i can read what willem's adventures were during that one year.
