I read this after watching the Netflix series and I would say that helps a lot. I found this book fun from time to time and also pretty enjoyable. But I also found this book boring and annoying in some parts. For example at the beginning I hade a hard time getting into the book and also some where in the middle it was a little bit hard to keep reading. But over all I liked the book and their for I am giving a 3.25 star.

I watched the movie years ago so I knew the main spoiler for the plot. Did I still get emotional and feel my heart sink? Yes, yes I did. I fell in love with Em and Dex through this book, I don’t think a book has ever made me feel as much as One Day did. Once I finished it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and it’s probably a book I’ll never forget.

Despite the cover being a couple kissing, I would not consider this a romance. I will admit, I had seen the movie before reading the book so knew what to expect,

but the book focused much less on the romance between the main characters and much more on their personal development. I appreciated the depictions of feeling lost and unsure what life or the future may hold, and I felt I could relate to Emma a lot. That being said, I got a bit annoyed at how long it took for them to finally get together (348 pages!), then only to have it all end 40 pages later. I also thought the ending was interesting but the whole last section was just a bit tedious to get through, especially the anniversary sections with Dex. Overall, Dex’s sections during his drug use eras were a bit drawn out at times.

A good story though and I liked the premise of writing on the same day every year. There were definitely a couple of easter eggs left at the end that I would be interested to see if they were actually thought out earlier in the book, maybe I’ll go back and look.
