I'm exactly one year behind in updating the books that I've read. This book was read during raya holiday last year (12 months ago) and I'm now in the current raya holiday. Time do flies - with the speed of light ...
Anyways back to the book. I didn't realize I had the book until I saw the movie's still ad in Goodreads and realize that somehow the title sounds familiar. A rummage thru my unread list cupboard proved I was right. Based on previous experience, whereby I watched a movie based on (already owned) book, I tend not to read it. So to avoid that I quickly read this one.
The storyline of One Day is not new. A story of 2 people which expands for twenty years. Mostly its funny but also moving. Really I can imagine Anne Hathaway playing Emma Morby character. In fact I'm picturing her all the way as I'm reading the book. Back then I didn't know who will play Dexter Mayhew which kept me wondering and trying to put a face to the character.
Emma and Dexter characters remind me of this movie called Before Sunset which was a sequel to Before Sunrise starring Ethan Hawke (I didn't watch Before Sunrise). Its about two characters whom are in denial of their feelings to each other and choose to suffer through out the years. "I love you but I just don't like you anymore" kind of stuff.
One Day was a fast read for me but I didn't expect the ending as such. Since I'm a sucker for romantic comedy movie (but not in books) so I'm looking forward to the movie.

Hi Leo! It has been a long absence, but things have been a bit hard: father 95, mother almost 91 doing radiotherapy, wife broke right elbow and I’m consuming some much needed holidays to take care of all this...

As far as Blogtrotter Two is concerned, it seems nobody is interested in St. Kitts, so maybe I should try something else. Anyhow, enjoy and have a great week or better a vacation, if still available!!!
