We Met in December

Jess and Alex both needed a fresh start.

After finding her boyfriend cheating on her, Jess left her secure job to follow her dream of working in publishing. She left her quiet, seaside town and her gran, for a shared home in Knotting Hill. There, she met Alex, who was also starting anew. After losing his father, Alex abandoned his law career to retrain as a nurse. Soon thereafter, his fiancee broke off their engagement. Though Alex wasn't looking for a relationship, Jess couldn't help falling for him.

This was absolutely delightful, but also drove me batty (in a good way). I had such a great year with Jess and Alex. I loved watching their friendship take root and blossom, but I was also shipping them so hard. The bad timing and missed opportunities drove me up a tree, but I do think it was for the best. These two really needed that year to heal from their pasts, while becoming better acquainted with who they were becoming.

Curtis rounded out this tale of will-they-won't-they with holidays and time spent with family and friends. The secondary characters really added to my enjoyment, and I liked watching them grow and change right along side Jess and Alex. And, seriously, thank you, Rosie Curtis for giving me an epilogue, and it was good one.

Overall, I enjoyed spending a year with Jess and Alex. There were ups and downs and in-betweens, and I was thrilled to see how far they came since they had met in December.
