One Day by David Nichols

DESCRIPTION

What starts as a fleeting connection between two strangers soon becomes a deep bond that spans decades.
 
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. They face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. Dex and Em must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself. As the years go by, the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed.

PRAISE

"[An] instant classic. . . . One of the most hilarious and emotionally riveting love stories you’ll ever encounter." — People

"Fluid, expertly paced, highly observed, and at times, both funny and moving." — Boston Globe

"Those of us susceptible to nostalgic reveries of youthful heartache and self-invention (which is to say, all of us) longed to get our hands on Nicholls’s new novel... And if you do, you may want to take care where you lay this book down. You may not be the only one who wants in on the answers." — New York Times Book Review
