One Day In December

A swooning contemporary romance, One Day in December chronicles the story of Laurie, a young woman who locks eyes with a stranger through a bus window and instantly feels a powerful, undeniable connection — only to lose him before she can find out who he is. Fate, however, has a cruel sense of humor: months later, her best friend Sarah introduces that very same man, Jack, as her new boyfriend. Josie Silver crafts a warmly witty yet emotionally charged narrative that follows Laurie and Jack over the course of a decade as they navigate friendship, longing, and the agonizing question of what might have been. The novel illustrates with tender precision how timing, loyalty, and circumstance can stand between two people and the love they were meant to find. Heartfelt and compulsively readable, it is a debut that earned its place among the most beloved romantic novels of recent years.
