<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b> <br><b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - <b><b>"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)</b> </b> <p/>"The perfect book to get lost in . . . Josie Silver's characters sneak their way into your heart and stay."--Jill Santopolo, author of <i>The Light We Lost</i></b> <p/>Two people. Ten chances. One unforgettable love story.</b> <p/>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. <p/> 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. <p/> What follows for Laurie, Sarah and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered. <i>One Day in December</i> 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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance.
