I really enjoyed the way this book follows Emma and Dexter throughout the years, on the same day each year, a unique and engaging concept. 

Emma was my favourite of the too as I found her to be lovable and relatable. But all of the characters are very well realised.

The latter part of the book felt rushed and the ending was abrupt, had more time been taken exploring this stage of their relationship I feel I’d of rated higher.

It’s certainly worth the read if you enjoy a slow burn, friends to lovers romance.

I had to take a break from this book 50% of the way through because it put me in a rut. I’m glad I finished it, but it was hard to get through. I didn’t like that every chapter left off on a cliffhanger and the next chapter jumped a year into the future. I felt like a lot of cliffhangers were never fully “wrapped up”. I also kept finding myself thinking “I can tell a man wrote this book” every time Emma’s appearance was described.

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.
