Finally, FINALLY I know what happens to Allyson and Willem. FINALLYYYY!!!
I really liked this, even if it was WAY too short.

Y el beso se siente como algo completamente nuevo. Pero también se siente como algo profundamente conocido. Lo que parecería ser una contradicción. Solo que no lo es. La verdad y su opuesto son dos caras de la misma moneda, siempre decía Saba
Esta historia corta existe porque muchos de nosotros, lectores, pensamos que Just One Year estaba inconcluso. Creo que en un principio pensé que era un final abierto pero luego caí en cuenta de que nunca mas leería sobre Allyson o Willem, entonces estaba decepcionada porque ellos merecían un buen final, no solo un beso frente a su puerta.
Me gusto esta historia corta porque, no fue exactamente un final feliz, ellos no saltaron a casarse y tener bebes. Además, no puedes esperar algo así de un libro de Gayle Forman, principalmente porque esta saga se baso en la depresión, el dolor y la lucha que hay en las relaciones. De hecho, el principio del libro es básicamente ellos empezando a conocerse aunque la conexión entre ellos estuvo ahí siempre, como si estuvieran hechos el uno para el otro. No obstante siempre hubo la duda de que pasaría con ellos después de solo una noche.
También me gusto la parte donde están todos los personajes secundarios y empiezan hacer conexiones y como ellos ayudaron a Allyson y Willem a encontrarse. Debo decir, que Just One Night me hizo feliz, y por eso estoy profundamente agradecida con Gayle Forman.

It was incredibly nice to get the final 'chapter' so to speak for Allyson & Willem. Especially with the way both Just One Day and Just One Year end. I will agree with other reviewers that the use of third person pov was a little strange (whether that be because Forman is so adept with 1st or because it just wasn't quite right) and I'm not sure I needed the 'culmination' of the relationship to be like it was (but I suppose I should have expected it). It tied up a lot of loose ends (Broodje's tackle hug of Allyson was my favorite part) which I was grateful for, but it wasn't as 'ahhhhhh' as the actual novels.

I'm not saying I disliked this novella, because I did. It was cute and I'm happy that Allyson and Willem had the ending they deserved. But was the constant changing POV needed? It confused me a lot.

The only thing I didn't really like was the third person omniscient point-of-view. We could see inside too many characters' heads and it switched between characters too often as it went along. The story itself was great, though.

I’m glad that this exists because it left too many unknowns? It made it more real.
