Críticas:
As he proved in One Day, Nicholls is brilliant at picking apart modern life with all its hopes, disillusionments and regrets, and marrying it to a gently heartbreaking narrative. * Observer * This very funny, wise and bittersweet novel was in my view even more enjoyable than Nicholls' previous bestseller One Day. * Daily Express * US is a perfect book. * Independent * The kind of book that reminds us what it means to be alive. * Good Housekeeping * I was having to ration myself for fear of coming to the end too soon. * Mail on Sunday *
Contraportada:
