As the day comes to a close, Aiden and Gemma ask themselves if one day is ever enough to decide if they were better off as friends or strangers.
Review:
I've read this book last month but I wasn't
able to post a review about it because I got depressed and ill for a few weeks.
Basically, it's like life's preventing me from being a productive book blogger
and individual. Gah. :(
What About Today is, just like the title suggests, a story that happened within 24 hours. It's actually my first time to read a 24-hour story. You would think that it would be a story with a lot of plot holes because let's face it, it ain't easy to write a book that happened in a day only. I honestly can't imagine how the author would include all the essential parts of a story and leave the readers satisfied with it but HOLY COW, Dawn Lanuza managed to do all of that. She's a genius, I tell you. I've read all of Ms. Dawn's books and I loved them all. I was a bit anxious of reading this book because like I said, I just can't imagine how a book with a 24-hour time frame leave me satisfied. But I guess I shouldn't have doubted the author's writing ability. It was done flawlessly. It made me a very satisfied and happy reader who wants to read more of Gemma and Aiden.
What made this book different from the other works of the author was that I had an instant connection with Gemma and Aiden--the main characters in the story unlike her previous books that I've read. They're very likable characters and easy to have connection with. In fact, I can see a glimpse of myself in both Gemma and Aiden.
I loved how the book ended! I couldn't ask for a better ending than that. Though I must admit that it made me want to read more of them but at the same time I don't want to. If you're in need of a light and unique (I haven't read a 24-hour story so I shall call this unique) book the What About Today is the right one for you. Seriously, read this book. Or any other books by Dawn Lanuza because they're just amazing! I consider Dawn Lanuza as "Queen of Contemporary Novels." *bows down to the queen*
