Book Club Read: One Day

This month's book for book club is One Day.  I had never heard of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The story visits the two main characters, Emma Morely and Dexter Mayhew on the same day each year over 20 years.  Everything begins in the 1980s as both are graduating from college and are getting ready to embark of their new lives.  Emma is a bookish, shy girl who wants to change the world, while Dexter is a handsome, cocky playboy who is getting ready to travel on his parents' money for the next year or so.  They decide to be friends, despite the sexual tension and the reader gets to see how their friendship develops over time with all their ups and downs, successes and epic failures. 

Very cute book. Since this takes place mostly in and around London, there is that certain British humor that I love. All the one-liners and quippy dialogue to keep things interesting!
