One Day

David Nicholls book is based on an interesting premise; he follows Emma and Dexter, and their relationship on the same day each year:  July 15, the day they hooked up.  The thought behind this book is appealing.  I like the idea at looking at one's life by viewing it on the same day each year.  Nicholls artfully wove an appealing story.  I grew to love and hate both Emma and Dexter as the years passed by.   But, and this is a big but, I hate the way he chose to wrap up the story.  The ending was very abrupt.  The foreshadowing was clear, so I somewhat expected the outcome, but I think he was looking for a way to end the story.
