Us (Nicholls)

Book Reviews
Liked One Day? Then you’ll find this absolutely fabulous.… Very funny and very moving, often at the same time.
Daily Mail (UK)


The bestselling author of One Day…is back with another crowd-pleaser, this time about a man trying to save his collapsing marriage and connect with his teenage son during a family tour of Europe (Best Books of the Fall).
People


Douglas is an amiably bumbling narrator, and Nicholls convincingly infuses his protagonist's voice with the dry wit and charm that have served the author so well in his previous books. This is Nicholls's most ambitious work to date, and his realistically flawed characters are somehow endearing despite the many bruises they inflict upon each other.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) Nicholls has created in Douglas a man who has always known where he was and where he was going and who now is suddenly adrift emotionally as well as physically. And all the guidebooks and online tours won't be enough to right his course. Are you thinking this is a predictable tale of family dynamics? Think again; this is Nicholls, after all. For those who loved One Day, the author's latest is another heart-grabber about discovering what makes us happy and learning to let go.  —Bette-Lee Fox
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Nicholls brings his trademark wit and wisdom to this by turns hilarious and heartbreaking examination of a long-term marriage…. This tender novel will further cement Nicholls’ reputation as a master of romantic comedy.
Booklist


(Starred review.) Nicholls is a master of the braided narrative, weaving the past and present to create an intricate whole…. A funny and moving novel.
