One Day

Don't worry, I'm not going to start posting about every single book I read but I didn't feel like I could let this one go by without a few words.

Nico picked up this book in the airport on one of our trips to England and hasn't gotten around to reading it yet but I've heard so much about it, I decided to make it my modern book for May, polished it off in under three days and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed.

I don't want to spoil the book for anyone that hasn't read it yet but it totally blew me away.  It follows the lives of two friends by telling their story on a certain date every year for twenty years.  First it made me feel nostalgic about the university years, and then it made me feel lucky to be where I am now.  The writing is beautiful, at times funny and sometimes sad but really moving.  I'm not sure how I feel about the ending but I am looking forward to seeing the film version, which from what I've heard, doesn't seem to have strayed to far from the novel.
