Hey guys, it's Trina and today I'm
talking about books that take place
within a 24 hour time period. This video
is paid promotion for Disney-Hyperion
in celebration of their release of Kill
All Happies by Rachel Cohn. This book
released on May 2nd so it should already
be out by the time that this video is
posted and this is a YA contemporary
novel about a girl in high school who's
about to graduate high school and she
wants to throw this one last bash for
the graduating class in her school.
It's gonna be this wild party. She's hosting
it at a local restaurant named Happies -
that is where the title of this book
comes from - and she really hopes that
this party will be great for her friends,
and she really wants to hook up with her
crush at this party for the first time, but
she really does not wanna be caught by
one of her teachers. What she does not
realize though is that this restaurant
has a large fan following and so as her
party is going on a bunch of local fans
of the restaurant start showing up like
in droves and this party becomes a much
bigger event than she ever anticipated. I
have not read this book yet but one
thing that really captured my attention
in the synopsis is that as the party
kind of grows in size and gets out of control,
the people start to storm the abandoned
amusement park behind the restaurant. And
does and abandoned amusement park not just
sound really cool to you guys? I don't
know what it is but that just sounds
really fascinating to me. And another
thing that sounds really interesting
about this book to me is that the whole
story takes place within just a 24 hour
time period. I have flipped through this
one and something cool about it is that
the beginning of every single chapter
gives you a timestamp of when that
chapter takes place and then tells you
like in relation to when the party is
going to happen, like is this three hours
before the party starts? Is it five hours
into the party? That format is something
that was attention-grabbing to me. It
made me interested in this story and I
want to see how a story like this is
going to play out in just 24 hours. So
inspired by this short time frame that
this book takes place in, Disney
Hyperion asked me to come up with a list of
other books that take place in just 24
hours and include really cool adventures.
So the first book that came to mind when
I thought of a 24 hour adventure was a
new one, but I've got a couple of older ones on my list
too, but that is The Sun is Also A Star
by Nicola Yoon. This one just came out
at the end of last year and it is about a boy and a
girl who meet on one day. Natasha is an
immigrant from Jamaica and she and her
family are actually being deported on
this one day. And our other character
Daniel is a Korean American boy whose
family has a lot of expectations on him
about where he should go to college but
he does not have any interest in like
living out and fulfilling what his
parents expectations of him are. And they
end up running into each other and the
story just follows them over the course
of one day, it's actually about a 12 hour
time period as they get to know each
other and this one is a YA contemporary
romance and the cool thing about it that
I really liked is that these characters
were such opposites. Daniel is a lover,
he's a poet, he's a dreamer. Natasha is
very scientific minded and she doesn't
think she believes in love, and so there
is a case of insta-love in this story
that I thought it worked well because
when you're dealing with a story that is
stretched out over a very short amount
of time you're spending a lot of time
with those characters and that actually
lends more development to that kind of
instalove trope in my opinion. Like I
really did feel like I was spending so
much time with these characters that I
really could see why they were
interested in each other.
I really enjoyed this book and I would
definitely recommend it if you haven't
read it already. The next one that I can
think of that's also kind of similar to
the whole themes and everything of The
Sun is Also a Star is The Statistical
Probability of Love at First Sight by
Jennifer E. Smith. This is another YA
contemporary romance novel and this is
about a girl whose parents are divorced
and her father is about to get remarried
so she is flying to her father's
marriage and in the airport she meets a
cute boy and they have like a
conversation and then it turns out that
they end up on the same flight together
a seat apart. So they spend the entire
flight talking and getting to know each
other. This book is another one that has
the timestamp at the beginning of every
single chapter and I did really enjoy the
layout of that story. I really enjoyed
how cute it was. If you're looking for a
quick fluffy contemporary romance I
would definitely recommend this one, and
I have read all but one of Jennifer E.
Smith's books and The Statistical
Probability of Love at First Sight is
definitely my favorite one of hers. The
next two books that I have to recommend
to you guys that do include 24 hour
adventures are... kind of cheating on this
list, but I definitely think they fit
with this. So the first one is Just One Day by
Gayle Forman. This is a book about a girl who is
on a college trip, she's in London and
then she meets a boy and they decide to
go to Paris together and spend just one
day together. Now, contrary to what a lot
of my friends thought - like I had a
conversation with some friends recently
and they thought that this entire book
takes place in just one day because
that's what the title leads you to
believe, but it's only about the first
third of this book that takes place in
that 24 hour period where they are
spending that one day in Paris.
The rest of the book takes place over
the course of a year and it talks about
the ways in which that one day affected
our main character's life. So technically
this book takes place over the course of
a year but there is such an emphasis on
that one day and how it changed her life
and how it really affected her, I
definitely think that this does include
a 24-hour adventure and as for that day
spent in Paris it was quite an adventure,
it is quite a romance. This book is not
just a romance though. You can see through
the repercussions of that day that the
main character does go through a
depression and that was something that
really impacted me. I felt like it
reflected some feelings and thoughts
that I had gone through when I was a
teenager so I really have a great
appreciation for this book. The last
book that I'm fitting in here as a 24 hour
adventure is Before I Fall by Lauren
Oliver. It takes place over the course of
7 days but the main character is
reliving just one day over and over 7
different times, so technically it's only
taking place over 24 hours. The main
character we follow is like one of
the popular girls in school, she's kind of
a mean girl, and she experiences
something at the end of this one day and
the next morning she wakes up and it's
the same exact day. And by reliving that
day she starts to learn a lot of stuff
about herself, her friends, her peers at
school. Something that was really
fascinating about this book to me is
that the day would repeat itself like
word for word, she knew everything that
was going to happen minute to minute,
hour to hour but one day she would spend
time getting to know this one person
that she had never spoken to before, then
the next day she'd go and meet another
person and over the course of this story
she learned that there are going to be
people in your day, any day of your life,
that you don't interact with that have
just like their problems and their
burdens and their struggles that you
will never even know because you don't
get a chance to talk to them. And so I
really enjoyed how this book explored
her living that day fully and really
understanding all the events that led up
to the things that happen at the end of
that day. If you have liked any of the
books that I have mentioned or you like
the 24 hour time period set up, Kill All Happies
is a book that you may want to check out.
If you have a favorite book
that takes place within 24 hours please
leave that down below. Thank you guys so
much for watching and I will see you in the comments. Bye!
