Twenty years, two people, ONE DAY. The multi-million copy bestseller that captures the experiences of a generation.

‘I can imagine you at forty,’ she said, a hint of malice in her voice. ‘I can picture it right now.’

He smiled without opening his eyes. ‘Go on then.’

15th July 1988. Emma and Dexter meet for the first time on the night of their graduation. Tomorrow they must go their separate ways.

Nick Hornby
Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable.
<i>The Times</i>
A wonderful, wonderful book.
Marian Keyes
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.
<i>Daily Mirror</i>
ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic.
Simon Mayo Books Panel, BBC Radio Five Live
I couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't love this book.

An unputdownable romance for the 21st century.
<i>Guardian</i>
This perfectly executed novel is a reminder that reading can be the finest entertainment there is.
<i>Independent on Sunday</i> Books of the Year 2009
A genuine tear-jerker as well as laugh-out-loud funny.
The Evening Standard
Nicholls' unmatchable gift for dialogue and romantic plotting
Dolly Alderton
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.
Financial Times
A pleasingly collaborative reading experience
Prime
A modern classic
YOU Magazine
One of the most tear-jerking novels ever written
Maggie Shipstead, author of Great Circle
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
Pandora Sykes
[One Day] changed my life . . . it is a perfect example of a book that's written beautifully but is hugely commercially successful
Essie Davis
both heart-breaking and hilarious . . . A beautiful romantic story
New York Times
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.
Hello
Captivating love story
Sam Delaney, inews
David Nicholls portrays the bittersweet experience of being a young man so brilliantly
