Sort of like life, some days in "One Day" are better to read than others. Finding yourself in India? A vacation to a Greek island? A friend's wedding? A summer day in Paris? Yes, please. These are the chapters that resonate and make you feel and experience the strength of the bond between the 2 main characters. Working in a cruddy restaurant? Buying a dumpy apartment with the wrong guy? Seeing drugs destroy your relationship with your best friend? Not so much, but, really, "One Day" is pretty close to life. Escapism mixed with harsh reality. Hints about what makes a friendship, and ultimately love, last over time. When the reason for the central conceit is revealed, it sort of jumps up and bites you and can ruin the rest of the story, but the overall ride is like life: sometimes worth the trip, but often just a series of days to get through.
