One Day by David Nicholls

I've done a lot of reading since I've been in London and I thought it was only right to mention some of the books I've really enjoyed reading.

My favorite so far has been One Day by David Nicholls. It's about two friends who meet on graduation day in college and how their relationship develops over the year. The story takes snapshots of their lives on the same day every year, hence the title, and by the end of the book you realize the significance of that day.

I had read the book over winter break but realized I should probably read it again while I was here because the story takes place in the UK. I understood some of the slangs better and knew the places that are mentioned in London. It was just easier to relate to the second time I read it.

It's a really really good book; it had been on Barnes & Noble best seller list for a while and whether or not you know about London, it is definitely worth reading!
