One Day in December by Josie SilverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In college, I taped Bridget Jones Diary off TV and died laughing at Bridget's antics and fell in love with Mark Darcy as he emphatically told Bridget that nice boys really do kiss like that. I held on to the VHS tape longer than I owned a VCR. Fast forward to reading Josie Silver's "One Day in December", which gives so many loving shoutouts to Bridget and her firepole and her Mr. Darcy that the book was sure to be a smashing success even before the amazing audiobook narration and references to Love Actually. This book is a romantic comedy in the making and is reminiscent of David Nicholl's "One Day' without the tragic ending. I loved it.
True to British writing, the language can be a bit much. Still I came to love Laurie and Sarah and saw in them pieces of my own relationships with roommates over the years, minus the wine of course. If you're craving England, love triangles, or love at first sight, look no further.
Happy reading--
(Book 30 - 2019)
