One Day is a novel by David Nicholls, published in 2009. Each chapter covers the lives of two protagonists on 15 July, St Swithin’s Day, for 20 years. The novel attracted generally positive reviews and was named 2010 Galaxy Book of the Year.
David Nicholls crafts a beautiful love story about two people who are so different that they really only have one thing in common: they are both mad for each other. The frustrating thing is though, that however much these two people love each other, they maintain a “friends only” status throughout most of the book.
