One Day by David Nicholls

Emma and Dexter are college classmates who only start getting to know each other on graduation day. There is chemistry, attraction, and the possibility for something more than friendship, but it's graduation day, and they're both headed off to do different things.

So we check in with them in a year, and then in two years, etc. That's how this book is formatted - we read a snapshot of each of them each year on July 15th, starting in 1988 and every year thereafter. We read how they are each doing individually, and what's happening between the two of them.

I could not put this book down. It was a fun read. It was also heartfelt and realistic, but so realistic it was sometimes painful. It made me think about aging, the choices we make, and the dreams that we've forgotten. Life doesn't always turn out how we think it's gonna turn out.
