Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable . . . brilliant on the details of the last couple of decades of British cultural and political life . . . the perfect beach read for people who are normally repelled by the very idea of beach reads. -Nick Hornby, from his blog A wonderful, wonderful book: wise, funny, perceptive, compassionate and often unbearably sad . . . the best British social novel since Jonathan Coe's What a Carve Up!. . . . Nicholls's witty prose has a transparency that brings Nick Hornby to mind: it melts as you read it so that you don't notice all the hard work that it's doing.-The Times(London) Just as Nicholls has made full use of his central concept, so he has drawn on all his comic and literary gifts to produce a novel that is not only roaringly funny but also memorable, moving and, in its own unassuming, unpretentious way, rather profound. -TheGuardian(London) [Nicholls] has both a very deft prose style and a great understanding of human emotion. His characterisation is utterly convincing . . .One Dayis destined to be a modern classic. -Daily Mirror With a nod to When Harry Met Sally, this funny, emotionally engaging third novel from David Nicholls traces the unlikely relationship between Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. . . . Told with toe-curlingly accurate insight and touching observation . . . If you left college sometime in the eighties with no clear idea of what was going to happen next, or who your lifelong friends might turn out to be, this one's a definite for your holiday suitcase. If you didn't, it still is . . . The feel good film must surely be just around the corner. I can't wait.-Daily Mail A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are . . . the best weird love story sinceThe Time Traveler's Wife. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it. -Tony Parsons The funniest, loveliest book I've read in ages. Most of all it is horribly, cringingly, absolutely 100% honest and true to life: I lived every page. -Jenny Colgan l The ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn't have -Adele Parks l I really loved it . . . it's absolutely wonderful . . . just so moving and engaging. -Kate Mosse You'd be hard pressed to find a sharper, sweeter romantic comedy this year than the story of Dex and Em. -TheIndependent(London) We may have found the novel of the year-a brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won't-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades. -Heat A moving and feel-good read. Nicholls is an expert at capturing that essence of young adulthood, first love, heartbreak, and the tangled, complicated course of romance . . . . Deserves to be the must-read hit of the summer. -News of the World I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book. -BBC Radio Five Live Nicholls captures superbly the ennui of post graduation . . . . The writing is almost faultless, there's a great feeling for the period and it's eminently readable.-Herald(London) As a study of what we once were and what we can become, it's masterfully realised. -Esquire Perfect for the beach or summer in the city. -In Style l A delicious love story., "[An] instant classic. . . .

  • Worthy of your reading time

    I love the format (one day each year, the author catches us up on the lives of two people and their involvement with each other). I also love the way in which the author catches the essential humanity (flaws and strengths) of both of these characters. Despite the Harry Met Sally comparison this book often gets, this is a VERY different story, with an essentially unpredictable ending.

  • Anti-One World Orderer

    I bought this book for an e-book discussion from my local library, thinking that the other ones I read would be a sign of the good stuff my librarian was picking out. Instead, I find that people who are not married are in bed with one another on the first page. I'm an old woman, and I don't like this. So, I read a few pages and then just stopped reading. I wish I hadn't bought the book. I don't like fornication; I think that the problems of the heroes of this book start with that disorder. And, believe me, they were upside-down-thinking people. If you can keep chaste, you've got it made. Wait 'til marriage, I say. Then, you won't need to write about screwed-up people! To me, sex is something between two married people who made a vow ...

  • Buy this book--you'll love it!

    Don't judge this book based on the awfulness of the movie. It's an incredibly moving story, the characters are really three dimensional, the language the author uses is great, and as long as you don't have Anne Hathaway's accent in your head when Emma talks, you'll be golden.
