#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.

"I have mixed feelings about this book. I am going to start with the narration on the audio book. It was the best narration I have ever heard. I genuinely feel as if I know the characters and they are close to my heart. This book was a bit frustrating and gut wrenching at times. Reading it is like running a 5K (from the perspective of a NON runner). My heart is racing, I am sweaty, my muscles are completely spent and all I want is to get to the end where my reward awaits. My confusion lies in the question of "was the reward worth the journey?" Though the journey was long and hard, I can say that I don't regret it."

"DNF - Disappointed with the little bit that I read. I had hoped for something else something better but it was looking like a soap opera when I was hoping for more like a meet cute/hallmark romance story. I also didn't feel like reading more after the F bombs started. Oh well, I'll do read Christmas by Accident instead because that sounds much better to me."

"This is a “hard pill to swallow” story about friendship, relationships, marriages and life. It is a great read for someone who has loved the right person at the wrong time. You will totally get it. I did. Sometimes you just can’t help who you love."

"It was pretty good, but a little slow at times. I think it was cute and the characters were great. Generally I’m not a huge romance fan and I don’t like the “stealing/ I have a crush on my best friend’s partner” trope so the storyline wasn’t really appealing to me."

"This offered a nice reprieve from the heavier, darker fiction I usually enjoy. I occasionally read chick lit for the same reason I watch Bridget Jones’s Diary every time it’s on TV: that comfortable, silly escape. You know where the story is going and you like not having to make any effort to get there. That’s exactly what this was. Just good fun."

"I really enjoyed the last 30% of the book. Was a bit confused with the first 25% as I didn’t register there were several different women speaking/sharing their story. But once I got into the rhythm of the narrative it became more interesting and clear."

"<strong>Good read. </strong><br/><br/>It’s a good read. I read it in two days. I kind of reminded me of Bridget’s Diary. I would recommend this book!"
