Reviews / Votes
ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic. * <i>Daily Mirror</i> * Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable. * Nick Hornby * A wonderful, wonderful book. * <i>The Times</i> * 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. * Marian Keyes * I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book. * Simon Mayo Books Panel, BBC Radio Five Live * An unputdownable romance for the 21st century. * <i>SHE</i> * A genuine tear-jerker as well as laugh-out-loud funny. * <i>Independent on Sunday</i> Books of the Year 2009 * This perfectly executed novel is a reminder that reading can be the finest entertainment there is. * <i>Guardian</i> * Nicholls' unmatchable gift for dialogue and romantic plotting * The Evening Standard * 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. * Dolly Alderton * A pleasingly collaborative reading experience * Financial Times * A modern classic * Prime * One of the most tear-jerking novels ever written * YOU Magazine * Re-reading One Day by David Nicholls is another version of putting on a Nora Ephron movie. It never gets old because the pleasure and comfort is in the language and the observations and the characters -- Maggie Shipstead, author of Great Circle [One Day] changed my life . . . it is a perfect example of a book that's written beautifully but is hugely commercially successful * Pandora Sykes * both heart-breaking and hilarious . . . A beautiful romantic story * Essie Davis * David Nicholls's "One Day" needs a special mention for its perfect encapsulation of Edinburgh's university experience. The novel takes place mostly in London but its two main characters meet as students here and almost - but not quite - fall for each other. Therein lies the tale. * New York Times * Captivating love story * Hello * David Nicholls portrays the bittersweet experience of being a young man so brilliantly * Sam Delaney, inews *More details
