cgcpoems 's review for:

One Day by David Nicholls
3.5
emotional funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This isn't a terribly unique story, and these characters aren't terribly unique either. But the premise of this book does a lot to make it memorable. I had fun as a reader filling in the gaps between each year, trying to imagine what we weren't privy to. It was equal parts funny and poignant, and well-balanced between the two.

I bumped up this rating because I thought the last chapter was so beautifully penned. I was a little teary listening to it in my car, with the knowledge of everything that was to come for these characters.
