A One Night Stand in Scotland

One Day, by David Nicholls chronicles the life and love of Emma and Dex following a one night stand on the evening of their college graduation.  While the book adheres to many of the stereotypes of its genre, it is not without wit and depth in places and, most importantly, it is fun and even incites the occasional tear.  A worthwhile read especially as rainy day afternoon book candy.  Oh and rumor has it, or rather, the NY Post, that the book will soon be a film starring Anne Hathaway...so read now before the book cover reminds you of The Princess Diaries. Not all is lost though...the film will be directed by Lone Scherfig.  Oh how I adored An Education!

Love it or hate it, one thing to be said for sure about this book is that it will make you want to travel to Edinburgh, the place where Emma and Dex first meet.  Can we talk for a second about how charming this bed and breakfast looks?? And ok, so while it's not exactly Edinburgh, the romantic climbing ivy won me over.

Besides, this inn, The Yorke Arms Hotel, has a to-die-for restaurant as well. Scallops, anyone?? Yum.
