ONE DAY Is PEOPLE PICK
As we noted earlier, British import, One Day by David Nicholls, just published in original trade paperback here last week, has been picking up strong reviews and perhaps the ultimate accolade; Anne Hathaway has signed to star in the movie version.
Now it picks up one more accolade; the new issue of People (which we get early from our secret source) gives it four of a possible four stars, also designating it a People Pick and calling it an “instant classic…and one of the most hilarious and emotionally riveting love stories you’ll ever encounter.”
We’re thinking this may be a British-to-US phenomenon along the lines of Bridget Jones; someone is probably kicking themselves for not pubishing One Day in hardcover here.
On the other hand, the lower trade pbk. price may give the book additional legs.

You know, I have to admit, I read an ARC of this, and I really really wanted to like it (I love Brit Fic) but I found it totally boring and the characters were extremely dull. I’m surprised at all the attention it’s getting! (just goes to show, what do I know…) : )
