One day in December Laurie sees a man through the bus window and falls in love with him at first sight before her bus pulls away. A year later and Laurie is still searching for him, they meet again and bus boy is introduced to her by her best friend Sarah..as her boyfriend. The story spans 10 years of friendship and romance, showing how the characters grow up and grow apart. We see every character fall in and out of love, until at the end when everyone gets their happy ending.

SO AMAZING. Such a great book for the Christmas/winter season. I did really like Laurie’s ex-husband Oscar though and I was really sad when they broke up, he was a good man but they were on different paths. I really liked the ending with the radio calls between Jack and “Rhona.” It was just like a scene straight out of a Christmas Hallmark movie. In the end you can tell that Laurie and Jack were ment to be. Ps. I also loved Sarah. Each character in this book was so unique and so well written with a personality you can imagine to clearly.
