Overall, it’s light on romance, a quick read (despite being a longer book) & I did enjoy the characters. While One Day in December didn’t thrill me like Josh & Hazel or The Kiss Quotient, I did enjoy it. So, I found myself not being super invested in their relationship. I want to know these two are destined to be together & I just didn’t get enough of that. If it’s an unrequited love, then I want to feel that burning intensity. I sure know a lot about Laurie, but I wanted to know a bit more about Jack. While the story spans a lot of time, I wish there was more depth to the characters. See what I did there with the Counting Crows reference? I’m sorry I had to. And duh!, of course, I want to know EXACTLY what he is thinking. This gives me insight into what “bus boy” is thinking. I also really like that she changes narrators thought the book. Josie introduces us to these characters & readers get to experience a huge chunk of their life with them. One thing I like about this story is that it spans the course of several years. I find these relationships to be especially meaningful.

There are several people in my life with whom I immediately connected. While I haven’t fallen head over heels for someone I met on mass transit, I trust my intuition. Laurie locks eyes with a guy from the bus & she feels an instant connection.

I LOVE that movie, so when I got those type of vibes from this book, instantly I’m excited! Bus Boy Basically, falls in love with a stranger. You know that movie with Sandra Bullock, right? She sees a guy pass by her train station and has all these ideas in her head about him. One Day in December gives me some While You Were Sleeping vibes. One Day in December by Josie Silver Book Review 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. Instead they “reunite” at a Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie.

But she doesn’t find him, not when it matters anyway. Their eyes meet, there’s a moment of pure magic…and then her bus drives away.Ĭertain they’re fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn’t exist anywhere but the movies.
