I read this after watching the Netflix series and I would say that helps a lot. I found this book fun from time to time and also pretty enjoyable. But I also found this book boring and annoying in some parts. For example at the beginning I hade a hard time getting into the book and also some where in the middle it was a little bit hard to keep reading. But over all I liked the book and their for I am giving a 3.25 star.

I watched the movie years ago so I knew the main spoiler for the plot. Did I still get emotional and feel my heart sink? Yes, yes I did. I fell in love with Em and Dex through this book, I don’t think a book has ever made me feel as much as One Day did. Once I finished it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and it’s probably a book I’ll never forget.

Okay hear me out, I realize there are many flaws of this book, but like the tv show made me love it no matter what. That’s the power Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod have over me. Anyways there were things I didn’t like about the book/changes the show made that were better imo so that’s why the book isn’t a 5 for me (bc the tv show is a 5 for me) (

like him dating maddy at the end wtf??? TV dex would never! Oh and Tilly’s character being like annoying and stuff.. didn’t like that one bit. Her being besties with Emma was so much better

) but overall I loved it and was less emotional reading it compared to watching it on screen. Dex + Em 4ever and I remain the president of Dexter Mayhew apologists
