I wanted to read One Day before I saw the movie (which I knew I was going to want to see.)
I must admit that the book felt too long at parts and I kept wanting to put it down or felt bored with it. I liked both of the characters okay but I didn’t feel a strong connection with either. Though I could relate to the story and their connection, etc. So I kept reading.
And despite not being able to guess the twisty ending and despite hating the twist, I still did enjoy the book. It felt like a satisfying meal in the end. It was interesting to read a novel that takes place over a lifetime of two characters.
And we did see the movie which was lovely.
I just saw this movie today. I so enjoyed it. A beautiful movie. I agree, i also hated the twist, but still a good movie. I guess in one way it makes one realise to never just say “one day”, but rather sieze the moment.
