One Day in December

4.5/5 stars 

It was a miserable December day, but then something happened. Laurie experience love at first sight. The only problem is, she’s been spending the last year looking for him with no luck. Until… her best friend brings along a new boyfriend, Jack, to a party and it’s him! What follows is a story of love, heartbreak, loyalty, and friendship as Laurie tries to accept that perhaps love at first sight is only for the movies. 

I waited to read this until the holidays, and I wish I’d picked it up sooner. This was a love story that touched my heart. As I followed these couples and friends through a decade, I found myself loving and hating the circumstances keeping people together or apart. I would get frustrated when life got in the way of relationships and sadly accepted that sometimes things just aren’t meant to be even when there is a lot of love. This is a really moving story about just how strong love can be and how timing really is everything.
