What They're Saying
Critics Review
You’re gripped from the opening pages … Nicholls, author of STARTER FOR TEN, writes faultless, engaging dialogue and keeps up a cracking pace. You will find this hard to put down
It’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. Hard to imagine anyone encountering characters as well drawn as this and not recognizing the extraordinary talent of the writer who has created them. - Jonathan Coe Guardian Books of the Year
I finished it last night and I’m still quite wobbly and affected by it. It was BRILLIANT… the jealously nearly made me puke. I wish I’d written this book - Marian KeyesThe ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn’t have - Adele ParksBig, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable … brilliant on the details of the last couple of decades of British cultural and political life - Nick HornbyThe novel of the year - a brilliantly funny and moving will-they, won’t-they romance tracing a relationship on the same day each day for two decades - HeatIt is a cleverly and astutely constructed book - but that is worthy of a mere footnote compared with its emotional impact. I am not ashamed to say that upon finishing it I pressed it to my chest as a big fat tear splashed onto its upturned spine - The Times Book ClubYou’d be hard pressed to find a sharper, sweeter romantic comedy this year than the story of Dex and Em - IndependentNicholls’ book is the sort of thing you can’t put down, and I read it over a weekend, creeping upstairs to gulp down another chapter when I should have been downstairs preparing dinner of helping with homework - Dylan JonesAbout The Author
