Oooh, I've read several of these comps...guess that means I have a 'type,' huh? ;) This is such a cool list, Renee! Thank you for all the work you do to put these together!

I have a type too and it's absolutely bittersweet love stories:) I'm excited to dive into more of these titles

Excellent list! I gave One Day five stars way back in August 2016, simpler days of yore. I haven't watched the new Netflix adaptation yet. This might be a sign it's time to pick up Standard Deviation! That immediately caught my eye as I loved Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny.

Thank you Stephanie, I had a lot of fun researching these comps and now I've added many to my tbr, including Standard deviation. I've heard good things about Early Morning Riser too- I haven't read this author but would like to

I have neither read nor watched One Day but I do like a lot of the books on this list….maybe I should give it a try!

I would love to hear what you think of it- definitely try the book vs the show though:)

What a good list, Renee! I'm going to look some of these up. I'd also recommend Out of Love by Hazel Hayes. It reminded me of One Day in so many ways, a heartbreaking and beautiful love story.

Thanks Michelle, I had a lot of fun doing this research. I was convinced there were no true comps for One Day so I was pleasantly surprised to find possibilities- Out of Love is on my extended list:) I'm so glad to hear you thought that was a good comp

This list is absolutely outstanding! I have read maybe two books on this list so far. Some of these books sound like they could also be a comp for Leaving by Roxanna Robinson. Hard to say because I haven’t finished yet. thank you so much for all the work and researching this as this was a very popular title with me. I am so glad that I upgraded the paid so that I can get the other 15 books on this list. Thank you.

thank you Kathy- you're right, many of these could also be comps for Leaving which could be a comp for One Day and I hadn't thought of that one!!
