Reviews
I found it totally gripping. The characters are complex, the locations familiar. I don't want to give away the ending but everyone who reads it agrees how powerful it is.
Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable.
A wonderful, wonderful book.
I finished it last night and I'm still quite wobbly and affected by it. It was BRILLIANT. . . the jealousy nearly made me puke. I wish I'd written this book.
ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic.
I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book.
An unputdownable romance for the 21st century.
This perfectly executed novel is a reminder that reading can be the finest entertainment there is.
A genuine tear-jerker as well as laugh-out-loud funny.
Nicholls' unmatchable gift for dialogue and romantic plotting
The book I go back to time and time again is One Day by David Nicholls. I read it every couple of years. It's perfect.
A pleasingly collaborative reading experience
A modern classic
One of the most tear-jerking novels ever written
