This perfectly executed novel is a reminder that reading can be the finest entertainment there is
Guardian
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, author of GHOSTS A modern classic
Prime
One of the most tear-jerking novels ever written
YOU Magazine
I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book
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
Maggie Shipstead, author of GREAT CIRCLE One Day changed my life
Pandora Sykes, author of HOW DO WE KNOW WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT Captivating
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?
Top 10 Summer Books
Elle
As a study of what we once were and what we can become, it's masterfully realised
Esquire
A brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won't-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades
Heat
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
Daily Mail
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
Herald
Nicholls has a gift for zeitgeist description and emotional empathy that's wholly his own . . . [A] light but surprisingly deep romance so thoroughly satisfying
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
Financial Times
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
Jenny Colgan, author of DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME? The ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn't have
Adele Parks, author of ONE LAST SECRET Warm-hearted, funny, endearing
Sydney Morning Herald
Page by page, the funniest book of the year
Uncut
Perfect for the beach or summer in the city
In Style
A delicious love story
Sunday Herald
A smart comedy, packed with the mistakes, mismatches and meandering conversations that make up real life
Marie Claire
A modern fairy tale, slickly put together. A gifted story-teller with lots of technical savvy
Scottish Review of Books
A compulsive read you'll want to devour in one sitting
Woman
A cross between Jonathan Coe and Nick Hornby, this is romantic, sharp and very English
Scotsman
Nicholls' unmatchable gift for dialogue and romantic plotting
Evening Standard
An unputdownable romance for the 21st century
