One Day in December by Josie Silver
3.0
Although this book has December in the title I thought it would be an easy vacation read.
I found it was not an easy vacation read.
I have to acknowledge that this book does not fit the mold of any other book I have read near this almost rom-com genre and I applaud that the author is doing something different. Honestly, I think my issue was that I could not get behind the plot or cheer for any of the characters. It really became something I just needed to finish because I committed and surely it would get better right? I did frequently check in with myself while reading and wondered if I was cheering for anyone? Did I want the star-crossed lovers to reunite did I want everyone to live happily ever after? Did I want someone to end up happily ever after?.. eh...
For those rating this book a 5, I love that it brought you joy. I will need to read more reviews so I can see what I might have missed and which characters you fell so madly in love with. I will stay on the side of " I don't get it. "
