#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.”—Reese Witherspoon (A Reese’s 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 the route to happiness.

    In One Day in December, Josie Silver weaves a captivating love story that explores the themes of serendipity and the complexities of relationships. Laurie believes that love at first sight is a myth—until one snowy December day when she glimpses a mysterious man through a foggy bus window. Their brief, magical eye contact ignites an obsession in her heart, but the moment passes when her bus drives away.

    Convinced that fate will bring them together again, Laurie searches tirelessly throughout London for her "bus boy" over the next year. However, fate has other plans when she “reunites” with him at a Christmas party—only to discover he's now her best friend Sarah's boyfriend. This unexpected twist leads to a decade filled with friendship, longing, and missed chances, as Laurie, Sarah, and Jack navigate the complexities of love and friendship.

    One Day in December is a heartwarming tale that reminds readers of the unpredictable nature of destiny and the enduring power of love. Silver's beautifully crafted narrative invites readers on an emotional journey, showcasing how the paths we take can lead us to unexpected places. This novel is perfect for anyone looking for a poignant, feel-good escape that captures the essence of life's surprises and the joys of connection.

There's heartbreak, humor, unconditional love and so many twists to this book I wasn’t expecting. The only regret I have is that I read this damn book in one day! Ever wish you could reread a book for the first time again? That is me. I’ll be reading this again closer to Christmas! 😅 10/10 highly recommend, perfect book for Christmas.

    I wouldn't say this is a Christmas book but more of a good romance book. I don't love the whole best friends boyfriend but I hate to also admit how realistic it is. This is why you pick friends who don't have the same taste as you.
    It was very easy to get lost in the story. I felt like I was kicking back wine with the girls or at the fancy house parties. It was also paced very well. This book needs more love
    SPOILERS

    Few spoiling things Oscar was definitely cheating and so was sarah. You can write it how you want but that's what was happening even if our main characters never knew.
    Also missing your best friends wedding then leaving her while her husband is just going away for half the week is not cool. And everyone but the core group definitely knew about Jack an Lu.
