What they say about it:
15th July 1988. Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew meet for the first time on the night of their graduation. Tomorrow they must go their separate ways.
So where will they be on this one day next year? And the year after that? And every year which follows?
One Day is a funny/sad love story spanning twenty years, a book about growing up – how we change, how we stay the same.
What I say about it:
What a wonderful, sad and frustrating book. As I read it I hoped they would get together, cursed when they both got together with others, cried at the sad bits and got frustrated about lots of things – but mostly the style of the book. It features one day a year and sometimes I didn’t feel like the one day had given me the insight that I wanted. I was gripped but was left wanting a bit more at the end.

Yes do. Then I can talk to you about the bits that annoyed me!
One Day has been sitting in my in-tray for months, sounds like it might be an interesting read though. Is it worth my while taking it out of the bag finally Helen?
