ONE DECEMBER DAY, LAURA MEETS LUKE... Luke loves Christmas. He loves the woolly scarves, the mulled wine, the music, the snow. But he’s beginning to ask: what good is it, if you have no one to share it with? Laura doesn’t think there’s anything magical about December. She’d never normally be seen dead with a man in a Christmas jumper. But, at a crowded gig this winter's evening, has she found her soulmate in handsome, funny frontman, Luke? Under the lights, something magical begins. But will Luke and Laura still feel the same on this day next December? And the one after that? Finding love at Christmas is special. But is staying in love - year after year, through the joy and heartbreak - the real miracle?

Thoughts

A good premise, very much like One Day in style. I thought we were going to get more of a will-they-won’t-they to start with, but they were already in a relationship at the beginning, and having a child by the second update. But there were lots of twists and turns, and I always like this style of book, checking in on a relationship over the course of many years. The subplot with the wonderful best friend Sarah was brutal, as well. Had to keep reading to find out what happened to her!
