it was amazing
bookshelves: 2018, netgalley-approved

2018 has been an amazing year of talent for new releases and I can proudly say that this little beauty sits proudly on that shelf!

Oh my goodness Josie Silver you have my heart with how beautifully your words and talent is expressed across these pages of One Day in December.

This book was NOTHING that I expected. What a beautiful and powerful tale of love, loss, friendship, and how love can span across a lifetime.

One beautiful wintery day Laurie is on the bus and she happens to look out her window to see heart stopper Jack. They both have an instant connection but Jack never got on the bus. A year goes by and Laurie has done nothing but look high and low for this mysterious bus lover.

Until one day.. Laurie goes to a Christmas party with her best friend Sarah... who can't stop talking about this new boyfriend she has that she wants to marry. Well..... ladies and gents Laurie has found her bus boy Jack.. who is her best friends new boyfriend. YIKES.

Let me tell you this is NOT a typical love triangle. Oh my gosh is this novel so much more then just a love story. I became so invested in these characters and gobbled this book up like a turkey dinner!

Josie flawlessly interweaves the path and storyline of the three characters perfectly.

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

You need this book in your life... pre order this one because it deserves a raw and rare spot on your bookshelf!!!

5 for perfection!!!

Huge thank you to Crown Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for my honest review.
