And then some days you wake up and everything's perfect

He put one hand lightly on the back of her neck and simultaneously she placed one hand lightly on his hip, and they kissed in the street as all around them people hurried home in the summer light, and it was the sweetest kiss that either of them would ever know.

David Nicholls
She drinks pints of coffee and writes little observations and ideas for stories with her best fountain pen on the linen-white pages of expensive notebooks. Sometimes, when it's going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationery.
David Nicholls
She had reached a turning point. She no longer believed that a situation could be made better by writing a poem about it.
David Nicholls
you feel a little bit lost right now about what to do with your life, a bit rudderless and oarless and aimless but that's okay that's alright because we're all meant to be like that at twenty-four.

David Holdaway was my stage name. I was an actor for about eight years in the '90s. I had to change my name because there was another David Nicholls, and I thought if I changed it to my mother's name, she'd be touched.
David Nicholls
Everything was fine, and she had the rare, new sensation of being exactly where she wanted to be.
David Nicholls
A joke was not a single-use item but something you brought out again and again until it fell apart in your hand like a cheap umbrella.
