One Day

I knew it had a lot of hype, rave book reviews with everyone talking about how amazing it was and then I heard a movie was coming and that I admit did make me a bit sceptical.



But I hate seeing the movie when I haven't read the book as the movie is NEVER as good so I knew I had to get it read!



It took me one day to devour it, I practically gulped it down... (well one and a half actually as i woke up in the middle of the night and proceeded to read it then)

I had a galaxy bar, white kinder bueno and copious amounts of tea and fruity drinks beside me so really I was all set for a day in bed. So I sat and I read and I laughed and I sighed, I swore and cursed the characters whilst slamming the book down:-/ ( lol I am such an over dramatic reader)

I smiled and "Hmmmed" and I "oooed" and cried (despite being quite a tough nut grrr) and I actually thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!



It was just sooo easy, like you knew them so well gosh they were my friends... I would find myself saying " suck it up Emma" and "Stop being a knob Dex" and "Come on you can do this mate" to thin air but I love a book like that.

You can see how and why they would it lend itself to a good film although I am scared after all of the bad Anne Hathaway reviews. I do like Anne as an actress and I understand they need a big name for the hood but gosh are there no English accents out there? I am glad they did not choose Kiera Knightly but from the snippet of the trailer I watched Anne hasn't got a Yorkshire accent down at all- I think it's pretty hard to play a Northerner although so many Southerners are convinced they have it down in jest.



I read on to see that he had written a one of the series of "Cold Feet" no wonder I liked him... I loved Cold Feet I have the entire series on box set on DVD. I also read that he did a television of Tess Of the D'Urbervilles - the Thomas Hardy booked I loved one summer of my teens- I can't believe I would have missed that but I have just seen that I was in New York at the time ho hum.

No the book "One Day" won't change your life... I have not come across that book that will in my lifetime. But if you like love, and the development of relationships, friendships and just life without it being too cheesy and unrealistic I would give it a go x
