Pictures from the Set -- One Day

I recently read One Day by David Nicholls and am very excited to see the movie version. I came across a website with photos from the set and thought I would share.

Review -- One Day by David Nicholls

One Day

by David Nicholls

Knopf Doubleday, 2010

437 pages

*I won a copy of this book from the publisher.

Summary: Dexter and Emma are connected by the one day they spent together after graduating from college. As they go their separate ways and become different people, they continue to stay connected through letters and eventually become best friends.

Review: Through 'snapshots' of one day (July 15) over the course of twenty years, author David Nicholls describes the relationship between two people as they journey to find themselves and their way through life. The novel is entertaining, the characters are interesting and real, and the novel is (at times) heartbreaking. Emma and Dexter are wonderful characters, who are perfect for one another, but the reader is allowed the time to see them grow and mature both in and out of their relationship. A wonderful read. Rating: **** out of 5

This meme is hosted by Should Be Reading.

What are you currently reading? I am about 50 pages into A Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens (very sad so far) and 50 pages into Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (kind of dragging -- hope it picks up).

What have you recently finished? Last week I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows and This Must Be The Place by Kate Racculia (both 5 stars -- click on the title to read my review).

What are you reading next? I think it's going to be One Day by David Nicholls or maybe Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven by Susan Jane Gilman.

Arriving Last Week

I received a copy of One Day by David Nicholls in the mail last week. Here is the Barnes and Noble description:

It's 1988 and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. They both know that the next day, after college graduation, they must go their separate ways. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. As the years go by, Dex and Em begin to lead separate lives—lives very different from the people they once dreamed they'd become. And yet, unable to let go of that special something that grabbed onto them that first night, an extraordinary relationship develops between the two.
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.

And I read that they are developing the book into a movie starring Anne Hathaway -- sounds great, right? Now I just need to find the time to read it.
