How will Laurie deal with her best friend and the man with whom she has fallen in love with at first sight? But Laurie is shocked to meet her friend’s boyfriend who turns out to be the busboy she had been looking for the entire year.
When Sarah gets a boyfriend, she tells Laurie about him including the intimate details. Laurie admires Sarah for knowing how to attract the guys she likes. Sarah is gregarious while Laurie is slightly shy. “As if an invisible fork of lightning has joined us together,” Laurie thinks. Jack, like Laurie, is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees her. She is not exactly “film-star good-looking or classically perfect,” but she is captivated still. Through her bus window, Laurie sees Jack reading a book and he glances up just as she peers closer to see his face. She lives in a small town in the UK with her husband and sons.One Day in December: A Novel by Josie Silver | Conversation Starters Josie Silver is the author of two books, One Day in December, One Night on the Island, and The Two Lives of Lydia Bird.

Their eyes meet, there’s a moment of pure magic…and then her bus drives away.Ĭertain they’re fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him.
But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one.
