One Day in December

If you hate insta-love, this book is definitely not for you. If you love insta-love, I am sure that you will very much enjoy how the characters must navigate their love at first sight when, one year later, the man is introduced to the woman as her best friend's boyfriend. I do think it is a little dramatic for a character to be somewhat crippled in the dating realm for an entire year simply because they made eye contact one time with someone.

I was intrigued by the story based on the synopsis. I was curious about how everyone's relationships would play out in the end because of how much just making eye contact with Jack took a toll on Laurie.

But Jack's character is extremely unlikable. He is rude a lot of the time, especially when Laurie is dating other people. He has no right to be so rude to her and to others because she is dating someone else. He literally dates her best friend for years and won't break up with her even though he clearly likes Laurie a lot. The love interest should at least be a likable person. I think his only redeeming quality is that he's handsome, but that only goes so far.

Story is also pretty slow. It spans a lot of years, but not a lot seems to happen in all those years.
I will say I actually read about 60% of the book and skimmed the rest, so take all my comments as you will.
