Review: We Met in December by Rosie Curtis
This story has everything I’m looking for in a cozy book this time of year: romance, comedy, London, and a little Christmas.
In stores and online November 5, 2019
Synopsis: Following a year in the life of a twenty-something British woman who falls hard for her London flat mate, this clever, fun, and unforgettable romantic comedy is the perfect feel-good holiday read.
Two people. One house. A year that changes everything.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jess is following her dream and moving to London. It’s December, and she’s taking a room in a crumbling, but grand, Notting Hill house-share with four virtual strangers. On her first night, Jess meets Alex, the guy sharing her floor, at a Christmas dinner hosted by her landlord. They don’t kiss, but as far as Jess is concerned the connection is clear. She starts planning how they will knock down the wall between them to spend more time together.
But when Jess returns from a two-week Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started dating someone else—beautiful Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into (hell, sharing a bathroom with) the man of her dreams…and the woman of his.
My Thoughts: If you enjoyed One Day in December, I think you will enjoy this one! I actually liked in better. It felt slightly more relatable and less “hit or miss” romance. It’s light and funny, with lots of moments that readers can find a piece of themselves in. It similarly takes place in London and is about the lives of two people throughout a single year as they figure out their romantic lives.
Star Rating: I’m going to give this one a 3.5/5 Stars because it wasn’t one that I was compelled to pick up, but when I was reading it I was totally in the world.
