One Day, by David Nicholls

This was compulsively readable, romantic, sweet, sad, charming, and would be perfect for fans of Nick Hornby. Emma and Dexter circle each other for years, illustrating beautifully the ways long term friendships develop and grow, and I really hope the movie that is being made will be good- starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. Hugh Grant must be wishing he had a time machine. I think its an interesting choice that Vintage is only releasing this in paperback, definitely makes the book more accessible, but with the level of buzz behind it, I would have ordered 2 hardcovers for the library, rather than the 2 paperbacks- and I am sure I will have to replace them, because this book is sure to be a hit. Really lovely.
