One Day in December

If you are up for a romance where your best friend falls in love with the man of your dreams, this novel is perfect. Riding a bus home from work, Laurie spots an intriguing  guy at the bus stop. When he suddenly looks up and right at her, Laurie feels like she’s been hit with a thunderbolt. But she can’t make herself get off the bus to meet him; instead she spends a year looking for him, to no avail. When her flatmate/best friend Sarah starts dating this wonderful guy and introduces him to Laurie at a party, who else would it be but Jack, aka “bus boy”. Neither of them wants to tell Sarah the truth.  The storyline is a bit slow and formulaic, but it’s a quiet read that ends in a satisfying manner. Written by Josie Silver.
