As is the nature with long books, there is so much to say about One Day. When you read about a character for so long, you end up having a sort of connection and longing for them. 

I started off not enjoying this book at all, Dexter was such an annoying and unlikable character, which was super odd considering that this is supposedly a romance book. Emma seems to have no personality outside of liking Dexter either (my biggest gripe with this book ugh!). But as the story continued, I started to hope for good things to happen to him, and her, and them. However, I do feel that if their characters were better developed, the book would have been more impactful for me. But goodness me, did the latter half of this book have me shocked.
