I read the book many years ago and it immediately loved it. It's one of those that will stand out. No surprise, it's also popular to among filmmakers.
Emma loves Dexter. Emma loved Dexter before they even met, as she had had a crush on him during university years. The two then become friends and go on a journey together. The story is essentially about relationships: friendship, romance, marriage, divorce, being in love and the myriad of emotions and feelings that go with it.
Ambika Mod was an excellent choice to play Emma: she is pretty, but not that classical beauty, witty, opinionated and blunt. It's exactly her bluntness and cynicism that make her socially awkward at times. Dexter, a good-looking, popular boy, while quite superficial, he also has a good grasp of character - played excellently by Leo Woodall. The two characters have great chemistry on screen.
The structure of the storytelling is brilliant: it covers around 20 years of their lives from graduation day til their late 30s and early 40s, but only telling it though one day: 15 July. While each episode is only about half hour and it shows 1 year, it is enough for the whole story to unfold slowly in front of you. This structure (or mini-series) also allows to explore the characters more and unpack their emotions.
People come into your life for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. The story of Emma and Dexter, who met at their university graduation, is one that will capture your heart. Emma came into Dexter's life to make him a better man.
