Book Synopsis




#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me."--Reese Witherspoon (A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine 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.

I was hooked with the characters just felt that the storyline was drawn out a little too long. I had to google some of the UK terms to understand the context. Loved the ending.

I was looking for a fun summer read and my boss loaned this this book to me. Love that the chapters are short and easy to get through. Cute story and will likely end up being a movie. If so, I will definitely go see it!

Slow but sweet

Paula - 6 years ago, Verified purchaser
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but it took me a while to warm up to it. The first quarter was super slow going, and if I hadn’t committed to read it for a book club I might have abandoned it. I’m not a big fan of pages and pages of repetitive agonizing when all could be resolved with one conversation. Anyway, the story finally picked up and became more interesting. The characters developed, etc. If you’re in the mood for a very leisurely unwinding romance, then you might like this novel, but if you’re impatient, you may not.
