One Day

Let me tell you something, dear reader. Beneath my incredibly tough exterior, I’m a big old softie at heart. I love both the novel and original movie ofOne Dayand I’m ready to fall in love with the story all over again.Netflixhas just released (February 8th) a series adaptation of David Nicolls' book, and whisper it, it might be the best version of Emma and Dex’s tale yet.

If you’re unaware of the story then let me give you the spoiler-free basics. Emma and Dex are two university students who after graduation agree to meet up on the same day each year for the rest of their lives. That day, July 15th, comes to define their relationship in its many different forms and also serves as a reference point for their lives as we join them on it year after year.

Emma is a spirited aspiring playwright from a working-class background while Dexter is posh and a little bit of what we might charitably call ‘a tinker’. They shouldn’t really be friends let alone anything more. Yet somehow they have undeniable chemistry.

As it releases today (and I am at work I swear) I’ve yet to see the new adaptation but early reception has been incredible. At the time of writing the series has a perfect 100% score onRotten Tomatoesand even got a 5-star review fromThe Guardianso colour me excited.

This is of course the perfect time to launch any romance movie/show with Valentine’s Day just around the corner (don’t forget!). If you need any presents check out our giftguides for the homeorfragrances.
