One Day in December by Josie Silver

I wanted to like this - because the premise of this story was so magical. I know people say that they don't like instant love, but I think it is pretty magical. This one is hard to enjoy though because these two main characters feel instant love and then our MMC ends up dating her best friend! Yikes! And the whole time they are pining for one another. So, it's like forbidden love right, which I can get behind. But because they are trying not to cross that line they stay as friends for the majority of the book. And the author tries to establish this long connection and history of friendship with all the time jumps. I think it spans like a decade or something. But we actually get very few scenes of their friendship or connection! So, by the time we get to the big scene in end I'm like wait how are you still in love when you barely interacted in this book?? I don't know I actually enjoyed the writing, but I needed more from these two as to why they are meant to be.
