Review An off-kilter romantic comedy with charm to spare ― Harper's BazaarIt's rare to find a novel which ranges over the recent past with such authority, and even rarer to find one in which the two leading characters are drawn with such solidity, such painful fidelity to real life that you really do put the book down with the hallucinatory feeling that they've become as well known to you as your closest friends -- Jonathan Coe, Books of the Year ― GuardianNicholls has a gimlet eye for period detail . . . A beguiling read ― ObserverA totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are . . . the best weird love story since The Time Traveller's Wife. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it -- Tony Parsons, author of THE PEOPLE NEXT DOORWho doesn't relish a love story with the right amount of heart-melting romance, disappointment, regret, and huge doses of disenchantment about growing up and growing old between quarrelling meant-to-be lovers? -- Top 10 Summer Books ― ElleAs a study of what we once were and what we can become, it's masterfully realised ― EsquireA brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won't-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades ― HeatWith a nod to When Harry Met Sally, this funny, emotionally engaging third novel from David Nicholls traces the unlikely relationship between Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew . . .
