“You tread lightly through life, but you leave deep footprints that are hard for other people to fill”

One Day in December, Laurie sets eyes upon a man who she instantly identifies as the one. However, before either of them pluck up the courage to approach each other the bus drives off. This book follows Laurie’s journey through finding the mysterious man she saw at the bus stop, including everything she encounters along the way.

I was really disappointed by this book for various different reasons. I found from the beginning that it was all a bit cliche and predictable therefore it did not capture me in a way which made me excited to pick the book up. I really struggled to relate to the characters, I just didn’t like any of them, especially Jack I honestly found myself getting angry each time he was mentioned! I thought this would be a christmassy read based on the title however it wasn’t remotely christmas related. Im so disappointed to write a negative review as I was really looking forward to reading this based on hearing so many good things about it. Maybe it just wasn’t for me. I did however like the Birmingham references (thats where I am from) and also the mentions of the films Love Actually and Bridget Jones. Apart from that I can honestly say I wouldn't pick this book up again.
