About this listen

Number-one New York Times best-seller.

A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club pick. “Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.” (Reese Witherspoon)

“Josie Silver writes with a warmth so palpable her characters sneak their way into your heart and stay for a long time.” (Jill Santopolo, New York Times best-selling author of The Light We Lost, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick)

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 10 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.

Critic reviews

“Consider setting aside some time and prepare to be charmed as author Josie Silver takes readers on a captivating journey - where female friendship is as important as romantic love.... One Day in December is an unmistakable winner.” (USA Today)

Editorial Review

Love Actually references abound!

Here's the premise that got me immediately sucked into this story: It's a few days before Christmas in London, and an exhausted, holiday-shopped-out Laurie is sitting on a bus when she locks eyes with a man on the street corner…and it’s love at first sight. The feeling seems mutual, as the man impulsively moves to climb on board the bus himself, but it's too late and the bus pulls away. Laurie searches for "Bus Boy"—as he comes to be known—for a full year when at long last she meets him at a holiday party, but it turns out he, Jack, is Laurie's best friend's new boyfriend. Oh. No. I completely devoured One Day in December in 24 hours flat, with the alternating perspectives and duel narration keeping the me fully immersed. It’s in turns heart-wrenching and hopeful, but is ultimately a delightful charmer of a story about love put on hold, and it’s sure to warm your heart during the holiday season. —Emily C., Audible Editor
