Helpful Score: 1

The enormous buzz about One Day created very high expectations. My first reactions upon finishing this book were two: it is overrated and Dex is a jerk. But then, three days later I found myself still thinking about the story of Emma and Dexter and decided that a book that lingered with me like that was better than I first gave it credit for. The author writes authentically about the highs and lows in the early and mid careers of both characters. There is a lot of humor too. I still think Em deserves better than Dex. The way the definition of "one day" changes at the end of the book was very powerful. Looking forward to the movie adaptation.
