I appreciate how both Emma and Dex are deeply flawed here, and seeing their growth throughout the very real ebbs and flows of life in your 20s-30s. While both of them could be so frustrating at times especially in relation to each other and tip-toeing in the will-they-or-won’t-they style, I found this to feel much more realistic, relatable, and reflective than other romances you’d typically think of. The style in which you only get to see “one day” out of the year is both captivating as it is annoying emotionally, but really pushes you to see just how impactful 24 hours of time may be in the span of life. It otherwise allows room for some hope and imagination of your own when thinking about what must’ve occurred between dates.
Nicholls has a wonderful grasp on depicting emotion and grief that really makes you reflect in my opinion, especially on the fragility of time with One Day. Genuinely one of my favorite reads in a very long time, and I’ll probably come back to reread it a few times more.
