This was the perfect book to read while holed up at home in the middle of a snow storm. This story mainly takes place in the year of 2020 but flash backs to past New Years Eve's and Days. It follows Minnie Cooper and Quinn Hamilton. Both born the same day January 1st 1990, but Quinn was the first baby born of that year and got all the luck. Minnie was the second baby and was supposed to be named Quinn before Mrs. Hamilton took that name. For years, Minnie thought that there was jinx on her where every New Year's Eve and Day were bad luck for her. Until New Year's Day 2020, she finally meets the man who stole her name, Quinn Hamilton.
This was definitely a slow burn , closed-door romance with so many laughs but also some serious moments that really made you contemplate life. I really enjoyed this book and reading it while there's a snow storm just put me in the New Years mood.
So I really just have to ask, where do you want to be this time next year?

Well, I wrote a whole thing and it got deleted. Basically: your typical contemporary romance lit + pretty unbelievable relationships with tertiary characters (Do any of them have other friends??? This isn't even addressed. They live in London, they MUST know other people...) + a sprinkle of minor misogyny that was never fully resolved but could GENEROUSLY be attributed to a flawed main character and not the author.

Minor: Misogyny
The misogyny refers to the main character's thoughts (and maybe actions?) towards her employees near the start of the book. I felt that this wasn't explicitly resolved in the character development and could potentially be read as the author's POV coming though, not a character's flaws.hansbookshelf's review against another edition

This book was perfectly fine, I struggled to want to pick it up because it felt slow and predictable. I did like role friendship played in the book.

Super cute, perfect read to start the year off with. I did find Minnie a bit annoying, but I loved how Quinn and her interacted. Their romance and dating seemed real. I also really enjoyed how you saw them meet and almost meet in their pasts. I would definitely read this author again.

Another cute holiday romcom! I wish I lived in this alternative 2020 where there is no Covid, but I loved it anyway. Devoured in a day. Absolutely here for Minnie’s character growth.
