A just f*ckin can’t 😭 😭 😭

A thought a couldn’t sob more than the day a watched The Notebook, PS I Love You and Ghost in one afternoon, but a was wrong…

Av had the audio of The One on me Audible since 2021 infact a reckon it was one of the first audios a got when a switched audio apps, nd it just sat there and waited patiently

Anyhow the other night the new One Day series caught me eye in Netflix nd a thought a best get a shift on nd listen to the book, but dilemma - a cudnt resist starting the series So a messily flick back n forth between series nd audio nd altho there’s some differences like the physicalities, some locations, some characters - basically it’s the same story

A was up til 3.30am last night coz a was f*ckin hooked! The story covers the friend/relationship between two people meeting at uni and the fall out of what happens next nd their lives over the next decade or two. It covers what wud be pivotal moments in both their lives and explores friendship and relationships over time, it’s a beaut. Our Dexter nd Emma, a love story, or not?!

The will they, won’t they of it had me chompin at the bit, fast forwarding thru audio to keep pace with the series (bad ano!) but a just needed to know. The 80s vibe (the series has some classic tunes), the in-depth characters nd quirky premise of the story all add up to make a story ya will sink into

The way it hops from year to year made me think I’d be confused coz a like a straightforward timeline (after reading How to Stop a Time War recently a was a bit worried bout that set up), but it was fine

The ending, it came up unexpectedly in me, nd dispute the hype, the series nd all the chatter on Bookstagram I didn’t know and boom! I’m shaken - I don’t wanna say what it is but ya need f*ckin hankies

Defo not me normal vibe/genre but am so glad a had a moment of “why not!?” coz a adored it

Wud a say to do the book first, yeh a wud. The audio is canny but to get the benefit of both defo book first

3 words: uncertainty, love, tissues
