Pam's Book 34: One Day

This book is about Dex and Em, Em and Dex. Dexter and Emma meet on the night of their college graduation. They spend the night and the next day together, developing a life-long friendship. One Day follows Dexter and Emma through the years, only revisiting them on the anniversary of the day they met, St. Swithin's day. On that one day each year we discover what Dexter and Emma have been up to the past 364 days, where they are in their lives, where they are in their relationships (to each other and to others).

At first I fell in love with this book because I identified not only with Emma, but with the relationship between Emma and Dexter. It reminded me of my relationship with Colin, my best guy friend. The further I delved into the book, though, the farther removed Emma's life and relationship with Dexter were from my own life and relationship with Colin. By then, though, I was hooked.

One Day is moving and funny and once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down again until I finished it. I have passed it onto my book buddy Trish. I'm sure she'll like it as much as I did. Goooood book!
