About this listen

He is Dexter Mayhew, tall, dark, and (she can't deny it) handsome. She is Emma Morley, bottled red hair, wilfully badly dressed, all principles and no action. Could this be the dawn of the rest of their lives? Or are Dex and Em living proof that - despite an unlikely beginning - men and women really can be just good friends?

Amazing story

The performance was outstanding and the story was engaging and sweet. I would have loved for some more exploration of the transition of the main characters as I sometimes felt the story lingered in less interesting dynamics than that of Dex and Em’s evolving relationship. The story had deep themes of love and friendship through out in beautifully rendered characters. The interesting structure of one day a year over many years was interesting and skilfully crafted - definitely worth a listen.

Purposeful use of flashbacks to illuminate different aspects of the relationship between Em and Dex is clever.

Great story

I really enjoy this book. I read it many years ago and was excited to listen to it on my daily commute. The narrated is very irritating, over acting and her Suki Meadows voice grates my brain.

I love the book, the narration is very irritating

A heartfelt story which I watched on Netflix. The audio version fills out details that the series could not cover even though alot of the dialogue is the same. The narrator is especially excellent. I cried all over again.

Crying again!
