Where do I even begin to put into perspective or find the right words to describe the magnitude of emotions coursing through me right now after reading this book? One Day Soon by A. Meredith Walters is a story that describes of what it truly means to have a second chance at love, hope, dreams, and life. This is not your typical love story of boy meets girls and girl and boy falls in love and lives HEA. No, this book is so much more. This is a story where everything matters. Survival is key. Sunsets is a time where dreams, hope, and tears clash before darkness takes over. The evenings are a reminder of how cold and cruel the world can be. Mornings is a reminder that a new day has begun where you can still hold onto the hope of a better tomorrow. And hopefully one day soon, laughter is heard instead of cries, pain is erased, humiliation is replaced with happiness, peace instead of worry, and dreams of happily ever afters do exist not just in fairytales but in real life. One day soon where two strangers found true love in a world filled with darkness and monsters. One day soon where light shines bright everyday and only happy tears are shed.


A. Meredith Walters delivered a raw original story that was truly epic and unforgettable.She gave here readers an emotional, raw, real, and utterly devastatingly beautiful story of second chances. One Day Soon stole my heart right off the opening pages as she held you hostage with her stunning prose and raw characters. Ms. Walters gave readers an in your face gritty and raw perspective of what it means to truly live, fight, and survive in a world where you are overlooked and cast aside.



Fifteen years ago. A girl met a boy. Boy rescued the girl. Girl and boy became friends. And till one day their friendship took on a whole new deeper meaning. LOVE. I mean love that you read in fairytales. Love that can define and break you. LOVE that will never be forgotten. And within those six months of getting to know each other and falling for one another, their love was forever etched into their hearts, soul and mind. So fifteen years later, how does girl react to seeing the boy that broke her heart? How can the boy face the girl that he gave up and sacrificed for?

I honestly don't want to spoil this book for readers so I won't go into depth with this review because this book needs to be read and experienced. One Day Soon gripped, shattered and filled my heart with so much emotions. I am in awe with how meaningful, raw and real the story of Imi and Yoss is. Their story of love was not an easy one to swallow because everything about them was beautiful, heartbreaking, tragic, and earth-shattering. Their love was so pure. It was the kind of love that transcends and makes you believe in the happily ever afters and that one day soon that they will get the fairytale ending that they both truly deserves. The gift of second chances is a major theme in this book. It took fifteen years of wandering and lost time, for Yoss and Imi to finally have that chance. And in so One Day Soon will make you question everything about every love story that you have read, seen, and heard. Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in second chances? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in sacrifices? Letting go? And most importantly do you believe that you will get your one day soon of happily ever afters?

There are love stories that are great, amazing, beautiful, and tragic. But the story of Imi and Yoss was a love story that encompasses everything. It was bold, raw, life-altering, emotional, unforgettable,tangible, palpable and the list goes on. It was the kind of love that made your hearts race and made you FEEL every crevice of darkness, light, sadness and happiness. It was a love like no other. It was Yoss and Imi. And that kind of love was what made One Day Soon devastatingly beautiful.

A. Meredith Walters did a phenomenal with this book. This book was bold, fresh, modern and emotional raw. It was everything you would want in a love story. One Day Soon is a book that I will hold dear to my heart because it really exposes the harsh reality of what it truly means to live, survive, sacrifice, and love. So if you are looking for a book that is so much more than hearts and flowers, but a story where dreams can become a reality even if after so many years has passed then I highly recommend you to read One Day Soon and just maybe we can all believe that our one day of soon will happen for each and everyone of us.
