One Day in December: Reese's Book Club: A Novel

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 believe in instant connections but spending a year pining over someone you literally never spoke a word to and know nothing about is straight up crazy and this book didn’t really get better from there

Tears, be ready with tissues.

Omg. Yes yes yes. Buckets of water pooled at my feet as I read the last 15 pages or so.

A great read for the winter and before Christmas. A love story full of longing and hope. I loved the way it passed through the years as if it were the characters’ collective journal of sorts. I recommend.
