Story
It’s 1988 and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. Over twenty years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day—July 15th—of each year. Dex and Em face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself.

An entertaining emotional love story
Reviewed: 06-06-13
Would you listen to One Day again? Why?
I would listen to it again because the narrator was fantastic and I love the characters and the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of One Day?
The most memorable part for me was when Emma decides the friendship is not working and she says she loves him but she just doesn't like him anymore.
Which character – as performed by Anna Bentinck – was your favorite?
It is a tough choice between Em and Dex but I would have to go with Emma because she is so funny. The narrator delivered the lines perfectly.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I thought the most emotional and moving part of the book was when Dexter gets the letter from Ian.
Any additional comments?
I really loved this book and I think it is one of the best love stories I have read. I think most of the negative reviews are because people don't agree with the ending and it is a bit cliched but I think it fit the book. The best thing about this love story is that it is realistic and its not a fairy tale. Things don't always go perfectly and this relationship like any other had its ups and downs. Dexter in particular isn't always likeable but you don't always get to pick the most likeable person to fall in love with. Everyone has their own flaws and you just love them anyway.
