Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of One Day in December by Josie Silver, read by Eleanor Tomlinson and Charlie Anson.

Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist. After all, life isn't a scene from the movies, is it?

But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away.

Laurie thinks she'll never see the boy from the bus again. But at their Christmas party a year later, her best friend Sarah introduces her to the new love of her life. Who is, of course, the boy from the bus.

Determined to let him go, Laurie gets on with her life. But what if fate has other plans?

Following Laurie, Sarah and Jack through ten years of love, heartbreak and friendship, One Day in December is a joyous, heart-warming and immensely moving love story that you'll want to escape into forever.

Gorgeous...readers are going to love it! (Marian Keyes)
Sucked me in and didn't let go. It made me laugh, cry, ache and shout at the characters. Utterly captivating...one of my favourite books (Holly Martin)
A feel-good, heart-wrenching tribute to the female friends we cannot do without, as well as the men that we fall for. Josie Silver is one to watch (Stephanie Butland)

Loved this so much! Not the most original story line and not exactly heavy hitting literature, but so lovely and so charming! I listened to it in that funny period between christmas and new years and it was the perfect read, I really did enjoy it so much.
The narrators were also both great - such easy listening and I felt like they were not just 'telling a story', but that they really embodied their respective characters.

Absolutely adored this book

At thev beginning I thought the story line was improbable with a chick-lit feel and I was going to leave it. But I loved the narration and persevered, until about half way through when I read all the rest in one sitting,, at times with tears. While I have mixed thoughts about the first chapters and its predictable ending, the super narrators brought the characters to life so well I had to find how they played out.. I found them relatable and enjoyed following the roads their lives took and intertwined over a decade.

Really pleased I persevered

Oh I really love this book. First time I read it was on my kindle and I just couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it so much I also bought it on here and was so lovely to listen to and relive the story a year or so after the first time.

It's great how the book alternates the between two character's points of view. This is a lovely romance and one of my favourite books. Always nice to read around Christmas time too I think.

A story that sticks with you

Eleanor Tomlinson is an absolute star. I couldn't get over how perfect her delivery was in this heart-warming holiday story. You wouldn't have to listen at Christmas and it's a great time if you do. The voice of Jack wasn't my favourite but it was still an excellent recording of a book I never would have tackled in print, which would have been a tragic missed connection on my part.

Stellar female narration
