Reviews

Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable.
Nick Hornby
A wonderful, wonderful book.
<i>The Times</i>
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.
Marian Keyes
ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic.
<i>Daily Mirror</i>
I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book.
Simon Mayo Books Panel, BBC Radio Five Live
An unputdownable romance for the 21st century.
<i>SHE</i>
This perfectly executed novel is a reminder that reading can be the finest entertainment there is.
<i>Guardian</i>
A genuine tear-jerker as well as laugh-out-loud funny.
<i>Independent on Sunday</i> Books of the Year 2009
Nicholls' unmatchable gift for dialogue and romantic plotting
The Evening Standard
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
A pleasingly collaborative reading experience
Financial Times
A modern classic
Prime
One of the most tear-jerking novels ever written
YOU Magazine
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 . . . it is a perfect example of a book that's written beautifully but is hugely commercially successful
Pandora Sykes
both heart-breaking and hilarious . . . A beautiful romantic story
Essie Davis
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
Captivating love story
Hello
David Nicholls portrays the bittersweet experience of being a young man so brilliantly
