Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it.' -- Tony Parsons 20090129 'Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable ... brilliant on the details of the last couple of decades of British cultural and political life ... the perfect beach read for people who are normally repelled by the very idea of beach reads' -- Nick Hornby 20090403 '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 20081202 'The ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn't have' -- Adele Parks 20090219 'I really loved it ... it's absolutely wonderful ... just so moving and engaging' -- Kate Mosse 20090621 'A wonderful, wonderful book: wise, funny, perceptive, compassionate and often unbearably sad ... the best British social novel since Jonathan Coe's WHAT A CARVE UP! ... Nicholls's witty prose has a transparency that brings Nick Hornby to mind: it melts as you read it so that you don't notice all the hard work that it's doing' -- The Times 20090621 'You'd be hard pressed to find a sharper, sweeter romantic comedy this year than the story of Dex and Em' -- Independent 20090621 'We may have found the novel of the year - a brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won't-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades' -- Heat 20090621 'With its beautifully rounded, real characters and deeply poignant storytelling, this is one of the year's best novels.' -- Heat 20090621 '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 ... If you left college sometime in the Eighties with no clear idea of what was going to happen next, or who your lifelong friends might turn out to be, this one's a definite for your holiday suitcase. If you didn't, it still is ... The feelgood film must surely be just around the corner. I can't wait.' -- Daily Mail 20090621 'Nicholls has a gimlet eye for period detail ... A beguiling read' -- Observer 20090621 '[Nicholls] has both a very deft prose style and a great understanding of human emotion. His characterisation is utterly convincing ... ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic.' -- Daily Mirror 20090621 '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.' -- News of the World 20090621 'I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book' -- Simon Mayo Books Panel, BBC Radio Five Live 20090621 'Nicholls captures superbly the ennui of post graduation ...
