We could fill a page with descriptive proclamations of its brilliance, but we'll stick with intoxicating, engrossing and verging on genius. If this has never graced your bedside table, then go directly to the nearest bookshop, purchase one copy and start 2010 with a read that has taken the literary world by storm
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.
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.
You're gripped from the opening pages . . . Nicholls, author of STARTER FOR TEN, writes faultless, engaging dialogue and keeps up a cracking pace. You will find this hard to put down
An edgy romantic tale
Snort-out-loud stuff . . . it deserves to be a huge hit
Intoxicating, engrossing and verging on genius
This is a real cancel-all-calls, leave-me-alone book
I can't recommend it more highly
Laugh out loud funny with razor dialogue
One Day should come with a health warning attached: This Book is Seriously Addictive
It's a book that speaks to my generation, and I found it totally gripping. The characters are complex and their relationship uncertain. I don't want to give away the ending, but everyone who has read it agrees how powerful it is.
I know this is The Book That Everyone Has Read, but it's especially a book for my life . . . There is something devastatingly sad about it. The writing reminds you how, when you were young, despite everything you thought you knew, you never fully grasped the transience and precious power of youth itself.
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
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
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
Captivating
David Nicholls portrays the bittersweet experience of being a young man so brilliantly
A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are . . . the best weird love story since The Time Traveller's Wife. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it
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
The ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn't have
You'd be hard pressed to find a sharper, sweeter romantic comedy
It's rare to find a novel which ranges over the recent past with such authority, and even rarer to find one in which the two leading characters are drawn with such solidity, such painful fidelity to real life that you really do put the book down with the hallucinatory feeling that they've become as well known to you as your closest friends
A brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won't-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades
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
Nicholls has a gimlet eye for period detail . . . A beguiling read
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
An off-kilter romantic comedy with charm to spare
A total treat . . . by turns bittersweet, funny, touching and sad, but always Nicholls's wonderfully observant and wry touch shines through. A way-we-live-now parable about relationships, disappointments, friendship and expectations; a novel utterly comfortable in its own skin
Page by page, the funniest book of the year
Perfect for the beach or summer in the city
A delicious love story
A smart comedy, packed with the mistakes, mismatches and meandering conversations that make up real life
A modern fairy tale, slickly put together. A gifted story-teller with lots of technical savvy
A compulsive read you'll want to devour in one sitting
A cross between Jonathan Coe and Nick Hornby, this is romantic, sharp and very English
Who doesn't relish a love story with the right amount of heart-melting romance, disappointment, regret, and huge doses of disenchantment about growing up and growing old between quarrelling meant-to-be lovers?
Nicholls has a gift for zeitgeist description and emotional empathy that's wholly his own . . . [A] light but surprisingly deep romance so thoroughly satisfying
As a study of what we once were and what we can become, it's masterfully realised
Warm-hearted, funny, endearing
One Day changed my life
