Simon Mayo Books Panel, BBC Radio Five Live 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

Hello
You'd be hard pressed to find a sharper, sweeter romantic comedy
Independent
David Nicholls portrays the bittersweet experience of being a young man so brilliantly
iNews
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
Kate Mosse
The Times
An off-kilter romantic comedy with charm to spare
Harper's Bazaar
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
Jonathan Coe, Books of the Year
Guardian
Nicholls has a gimlet eye for period detail . . . A beguiling read
Observer
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
Tony Parsons, author of THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR 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?

Entertainment Weekly
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
A pleasingly collaborative reading experience
