1 | A 2013 novel by Gayle Forman. When sheltered American good girl Allyson Healey first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem at an underground performance of ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' in England, there’s an undeniable spark. So when fate brings them together a second time, Allyson takes an uncharacteristic leap, changes course, and follows Willem to Paris. 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 is gone. A life upended in one day turns into a year of self-discovery as Allyson embarks on a journey to break free from a lifetime of limits in order to find her true passions, and maybe even a true love. |
