One Day in December by Josie Silver

"Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. 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. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie. It's Jack, the man from the bus. It would be. What follows for Laurie, Sarah and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered."*

Usually the romance novels don't cover such a long period of time but because it covers a period of 10 years it really sets it apart from other romance novels. It is an angsty and sometimes heartbreaking love story that brings you on roller coaster of emotions. Even though it is titled One Day in December, you could easily read it anytime during the year.
