One Day

In 2008 David Nicholls released One Day, a superb book that charts an extraordinary relationship. Emma and Dexter meet on the night of their college graduation – July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground (taken from the official synopsis). One Day is being adapted into a screenplay and will be released later in the year.

For those familiar with the story you may remember Emma has a much better music taste than Dexter. During their relationship Emma makes two mix tapes for Dexter, David Nicholls has compiled the songs and has made them available to us here.
