Some books are just made for curling up on a cold, rainy day in your most comfy and coziest spot and wasting away an afternoon, for me One Day fits perfectly into that category.
One Day follows the twenty year friendship between Emma and Dexter, revisiting them every year on the same day whether they are together or apart or even on speaking terms. Em and Dex, Dex and Em as they like to call themselves are flawed people just trying to figure themselves out. Sometimes they are endearing, charming, witty but sometimes they are self involved, immature and just plain stupid but you are always rooting for them to get it right, you get angry when they hurt each other and relish in their sarcastic banter, it makes you happy to see things go their way and sad when life throws them a curve ball.
"You're gorgeous, you old hag, and if I could give you just one gift ever for the rest of your life it would be this. Confidence. It would be the gift of confidence. Either that or a scented candle" - Dave Nicholls (One Day)
Oh yes….and of course, One Day will soon be coming to a theatre near you this summer.
