A most delightful, romantic love story! If you believe in soulmates, you will especially love this book.

Enjoyed the passing of time in Laurie’s life and the evolution of her relationships. Sweet ending.

OH MY GOSH!! I loved this story so much! I was on the edge of my seat, anxious to find out what happened next!!! I usually hate dual POVs. However, One Day in December was the first book where I loved reading both character's perspectives. There wasn't a single instance of boredom. All of the character's (even the secondary ones) were lovable, and they felt REAL. I forgot I was reading, and the story played out as a movie in my head. I also loved how despite the different conflicts that occurred, friendships stayed strong, but not in a sappy "we're BFFs" kind of way.
The only reason I'm not rating this book 5/5 stars is because I felt the ending was a bit cheesy. Don't get me wrong, the ending was good, I just felt like it didn't match the rest of the book's energy. That isn't at all to say. I think the book was lacking. I really loved it!
Also... I'm excited that there were recipes in the back of the book. (I'm definitely going to try making The Delancey Street Special!!)

This was the perfect and light quarantine book. It was exactly what I needed. I listened to the audio, and the narrators were perfectly cast.

Aww I really liked this. I did feel frustrated in parts and wish they'd have done things differently but not everything can be perfect. I would also have liked to see more of Laurie and Jack actually together instead of fleeting conversations and meetings.
