UK critics hailed 2024 as “the year of David Nicholls”. A “note perfect” (BBC) Netflix adaptation introduced his smash-hit novel One Day to a whole new generation of readers. His new novel You Are Here became the biggest-selling hardback release of his career. And prizes and praise rolled in: winning the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Fiction 2024 and having the New York Times refer to it as “captivating” and The Sunday Times “a triumph”.
