“Just One Day…defies attempts at pigeonholing or categorization. It is a story that doesn’t spare you or allow you to forget a single part of it. It’s one of the truest stories I’ve ever read. 

…In this, her first published fiction, Furlong writes with such a deep understanding of the human condition that it is impossible not to find yourself in some aspect of this story. “Just One Day” asks how far we’re willing to go for the people we love, asks us to consider what it means to truly devote your life to someone no longer capable of reciprocating. It points towards the hazy line where such devotion blurs with an underlying need for control, and then interrogates whether that need has really just been a desire for love all along. 

…As we read, the scenes and sentences transform until the end result is something as beautiful as it is ugly, as heartbreaking as it is hilarious, and as finite as it is expansive.”
