Thank you to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sweet and light-hearted read, although with overtones of heavier themes (death of a parent, breakup of a relationship) about two roommates who both embark on new career paths in London. I loved the changes in perspective, hearing from them in turn, and felt both were very well characterized. An unexpected bonus was seeing and exploring London through their eyes. The only thing I wish had been different was that they had worked out the dynamic earlier, rather than having them come together at the very end and having an epilogue of a year later.

Synopsis :
What if you couldn’t get away from the one who got away?

Unlucky in love Jess is following her dream and moving to London. It’s December, and she’s taking a room in a crumbling Notting Hill house‐share with four strangers. On her first night Jess meets Alex, the guy sharing her floor. They don’t kiss under the mistletoe, but as far as Jess is concerned, the connection is instant. She lets herself imagine how their relationship will grow over the following year.

But when Jess returns from a 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.

Jess is determined to move on and survive the next twelve months… but love has a way of hampering even the best laid plans…

Set over the course of one life‐changing year, this is the most uplifting and moving love story of 2019.
