If I could buy this book for everybody I know, I would. Especially those about my age who were students in the 80’s. I hadn’t realised my life was such a cliche. I related to the story on so many different levels and laughed and cried in equal measure.
It is an extraordinary book, written with humour, tenderness, sharp observation and insight. This is a book that will appeal to both men and women and will no doubt make a very successful film. It charts the life of two people, Emma and Dexter over a twenty year period, writing about where they are on the same day each year.
It is beautifully written and immensely readable. Simple almost in the ease with which you want to keep on reading. David Nicholls has accomplished a rare feat – he wrote the third series of “Cold Feet” and the novel “Starter For Ten” amongst other things.
Nick Hornby will be kicking himself.
