Reviews
"[Forman's] very good on travel's expansive effects, the fluidity of teenage identity and the yearning for reinvention, how fleeting encounters can transform us."
-- New York Times Book Review * "Offering mystery, drama, and an evocative portrait of unrequited love, this open-ended novel will leave fans eagerly anticipating the companion story."
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Reading like a teen version of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, this tale of romance and mystery engages readers and will cause them to examine their definitions of love and self-identity."
-- SLJ, starred review "As [Allyson] blossoms a. . . the novel becomes absorbing, and readers will find themselves rooting for Allyson's more autonomous and interesting self."
-- Kirkus Reviews "Romantics will get swept up in the story, which has it all: true love, Paris, Shakespeare, and yes, hte notion that 'anything can happen in just one day.'"
-- Booklist
