This book was amazing, I fell in love at page 9 and it never let me down. It was absolutely perfect in a Hallmark special sort of way. Very romantic and predictable, but perfect. ( ) This may be my first five stars to a romance novel ever. And I may have had an emotional week, but ending this book with tears streaming down my face sealed the fifth star. Now that my keyboard won't be in danger of being flooded... #AGoodCry #TooBeautiful See the full review here! Recommended: YES For those who love the long play, a complex development of relationships between all characters, the pain of reality and trying to follow your heart, and for anyone who just wants to read something beautiful and is willing to get a bit weepy Thoughts: You know that trope in romance stories, where two people hate each other and then come to realize they love each other madly? That's not at all how the characters in this book feel about each other but it is how I felt about this book. Since it's a love-at-first-sight story, the romance was a bit lacking for me at first, because there was no build between the characters where I could get to know them and fall in love too, and enjoy the anticipation of love. It was hard to buy in to how Laurie couldn't contain her grief when her bff Sarah started dating Jack, the love-at-first-sight target. This isn't heavy on the steamy stuff, but it's mastery of emotions. Even if you're not typically a romance reader, this is likely one that will suck you in. Evidenced by the fact that the copy I got from the library was thoroughly worn in with spine cracks and page bends galore. And my god, do I understand why. That's exactly as this book should be. I finished this one day before Christmas, and what perfect timing. Heartwarming, well-written, flawed characters that you still root for. Reminded me a lot of those holiday romance stories, Love Actually, The Holiday, etc, and that was definitely part of the charm. Wonderful story about meeting the right person at the wrong time. The story spans 10 years in the characters' lives and it was a joy, and sometimes heartbreaking, to watch them evolve and grow throughout the years. It's told in first person, alternating between Laurie and Jack's POVs. Although the HEA was expected, it was still a joy to read to the end! Kept me turning the pages and wanting to know how the next plot point developed. The only issue I had was the ending. It ended too...abruptly? I would have liked a little more to close out the story at the end. Otherwise, highly recommended if you're any kind of romantic! Loses 2 stars because it's written in present tense (pretentious). Spoilers involved: Girl sees boy from train and falls instantly in love. Boy sees girl on train and falls instantly in love. They meet up 1 year later because he is with her BBF. The book follows them for 10 years, giving them chances to be together, but something always gets in the way. I cried at the end. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? ??Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.???Reese Witherspoon (A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick) ??The perfect book to get lost in . . . Josie Silver??s characters sneak their way into your heart and stay.???Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost 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 Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
