Gayle Forman has shared Cover Stories for her lovely novels If I Stay and Where She Went – these were epic tales of covers tried and tweaked. Her new novel, Just One Day, has a lovely, reflective cover. And this one? It’s got a pretty straightforward Cover Story:
“Penguin sent me a cover. I liked it.”
Sometimes it’s that simple! Yay! And I think this cover is great. For me, it captures the introspective nature of traveling, and how going on a journey can point your mind inward and help you figure out things about yourself. Can’t wait to read!
What do you guys think?

I like it, because the first thing I noticed was her watch, which is not a high schooler’s watch. But then the book talks about her getting a watch for graduation and it turns out to be pretty important. The description doesn’t seem like the watch on the cover, but it’s still a big visual element that makes sense with the contents of the book.
Ha! This made me laugh. Great cover story.

Ha! Straight and to the point! I, too, like the cover. I like how it’s seen through a window.
Haha nice! I’m so stoked for 2013. So many great book releases. Just One Day’s at the top of my list!
I really liked the cover of this one and it really captures the mood of the book, and that it’s Allyson’s story (despite that all the ads indicate that it’s a romance-heavy novel). And the detail of the over-the-top watch really makes it work, since that’s an important detail in the book.
Does anyone know where to buy that watch? It’s really beautifu!
