One Day in December
Josie Silver, 2018
A decade of near-misses and December chances, told through two people who meet at a bus window and cannot quite forget each other.

Josie Silver wrote One Day in December as her debut; it became a word-of-mouth bestseller and a Reese's Book Club pick.
Feels like love, longing and time.
What you do when the chance is pulling away without you.
No! No! Oh God, don’t you dare drive away from this stop! It’s Christmas! I want to yell, even as the bus pulls out into the traffic and gathers pace, and outside he is breathless standing in the road, watching us leave. I see defeat turn out the light in his eyes, and because it’s Christmas and because I’ve just fallen hopelessly in love with a stranger at a bus stop, I blow him a forlorn kiss and lay my forehead against the glass, watching him until he’s out of sight.
