We Met in December

by Rosie Curtis

Prepare to fall head over heels. The perfect book for fans of Josie Silver, Richard Curtis, and anyone who ever fell in love with the wrong person...

'Gorgeously festive and romantic' Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call

What if you couldn't get away from the one who got away?

This December, unlucky-in-love Jess is following her dream and moving to Notting Hill. On the first night in her new house-share she meets Alex, the guy in the room next door. They don't kiss under the mistletoe, but there's still a spark that leaves Jess imagining how they might spend the year together - never mind the house rule against dating...

But when Jess returns from her Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started seeing Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into the man of her dreams - and, apparently, the woman of his.

Jess is determined to move on and spend the year falling in love with London, not Alex - but what if her heart has other ideas?

I was expecting a far more Christmassy book than what this was.
While the two main characters Jess and Alex do meet around the holidays that's about as Christmassy as the story gets.
Instead, it focuses on a year-long will they won't they get together situation filled with some roommate drama.
Individually I liked the two characters and learning about them, even together I could have liked them. Having said that though we never actually got to see them together, and instead the ending felt extremely rushed after all that we had had to go through to get to it.

Overall for me, this book was false advertising of a Christmas story, when in all actuality it should have been more like we met and took a year to do anything about our feelings story.
