by Josie Silver

Book Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me."--Reese Witherspoon (A Reese's Book Club Pick)

"The perfect book to get lost in . . . Josie Silver's characters sneak their way into your heart and stay."--Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost

Two people. Ten chances. One unforgettable love story.

Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic . . . and then her bus drives away.

Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie. It's Jack, the man from the bus. It would be.

What follows for Laurie, Sarah, and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered. One Day in December is a joyous, heartwarming, and immensely moving love story to escape into and a reminder that fate takes inexplicable turns along the route to happiness.

Customer Reviews

Wah wah

The ending was cute but it was too short compared to the lllooonnnggg story that came before, not to mention pretty boring.

Really enjoyed this book! One you want to pass on to your friends to read.

Love at first sight. Missed chance, your fantasy love meets your best friend instead of you.

Predictable

It is clichéd. If you have seen a lot of Christmas romcom’s you will have an idea of the story flow and plot twists. I did expect something more.

Decent Rom Com

Predictable plot and pretty basic characters. I was in the mood for a light rom-com and this did the trick.

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed the book, it puts a new perspective on friendship

Horrible, Boring, Predictable

I made it to page 97 before I allowed myself to read the 1-star reviews on Amazon. I try not to taint my opinion with others' reviews until I've given the book a fair chance. But I just cannot stand another second of this book. The characters are unlikeable. They drink and cuss too much for my taste. The whole story line is cringeable. I bought it because it was on Reese's Book Club list.
