This allows the novel to see both sides of the coin, especially the shock of seeing each other for the first time since the bus episode. The book is told through Laurie’s and Jack’s eyes. When I say meat, I mean the story has depth. What makes this novel stand out among the others in its genre is that it has meat and self-awareness. What follows is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities (like me not posting in December), and destinies reconsidered among Laurie, Sarah, and Jack. Quickly, Laurie realizes that Jack is the guy from the bus. Laurie spends a year looking for the mysterious bus boy until they are reunited at her Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah introduces her to her boyfriend Jack. Unfortunately, her bus pulls away before anything else can happen. One Day in December revolves around Laurie, who normally does not believe in love at first sight, but instinctively finds the man of her dreams one night. Recently, however, I discovered a romantic holiday book that I unironically enjoyed! That book was One Day in December by Josie Silver. If I were to read one, I would be making fun of it right off the bat. In other words, they feel like Hallmark movies. They tend to get really corny and clichéd, and they are very predictable. I usually don’t read romantic holiday stories.
