We Met in December: A Novel

Following a year in the life of a twenty-something British woman who falls hard for her London flat mate, this clever, fun, and unforgettable romantic comedy is the perfect feel-good holiday read.
Two people. One house. A year that changes everything.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jess is following her dream and moving to London. It’s December, and she’s taking a room in a crumbling, but grand, Notting Hill house-share with four virtual strangers. On her first night, Jess meets Alex, the guy sharing her floor, at a Christmas dinner hosted by her landlord. They don’t kiss, but as far as Jess is concerned the connection is clear. She starts planning how they will knock down the wall between them to spend more time together.
But when Jess returns from a two-week Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started dating someone else—beautiful Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into (hell, sharing a bathroom with) the man of her dreams…and the woman of his.

Wow, I personally believe it takes a lot for a book to be bad and this just might be on-top.
I tried to get into it, feel anything Jess or Alex feel for each other but I just can't understand why this book's plot flowed that way. I can't even justify that what they feel is love.
The buildup was slow, the connection felt more like friends, there was no communication or taking the leap, nothing to get the ball rolling. I had to reread the synopsis three times just to be sure I'm reading a romance book. Jess and Alex's friends seemed to have the limelight more than them in this book.
Feeling pretty bummed out that my Christmas romance reading started this way but let's hope it gets better.
