I recieved a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I wanted to like this book but I have to admit I was bored for pretty much the whole thing.
I feel like I have already read this book, there was nothing new or interesting in it.  Jess and Alex were dull and there didn't seem to be anything major between the two of them.  
This book just wasn't for me. 2.5 stars.

I did enjoy this sweet, slower paced book set in England. Jess has just moved to London to a house with several others, including a guy a named Alex she is instantly attracted to. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, Jess discovers that Alex has started some sort of relationship with Emma, another housemate. As the next year goes on, Jess and Alex begin a friendship that evolves. Yet, through the next year, other romantic interests for both characters come and go leading to missed chances for Jess and Alex. Will they end up together in the end?

Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollins for the opportunity to read and review this delight of a book! This was a really sweet story about a 29-year-old Londoner who moves into a flat-share situation in Notting Hill, only to fall in love with her super hot roomie. But, of course, being in love with your roommate comes with complications, especially when he is newly single and perhaps involved in another one of the roommates.

This gave me Josie Silver ONE DAY IN DECEMBER vibes - and I loved that book too so that’s a total compliment! It’s not particular steamy but I loved the London scenery. I think I might have a new fave romance subgenre - romances that take place in the UK. We were supposed to go there this past fall so at least I have lots of new neighborhoods to put on my travel bucket list when we finally get to travel abroad again!

Ohhhh myyyy goodness! This books is too cute. It is going to become my must read every winter. Such a good Christmas romance story that takes place in the UK. Nothing is better than reading We Met in December during Christmas season curled up with a blanket with Christmas music.

It was so cute. I can’t believe I waited to read this. A little rom-com. Just what I needed. Alex & Jess are just the cutest.

The synopsis of this novel sounded adorable, but I wasn't really sure about it reading the first chapter or so. However, I kept going and ended up falling absolutely head over heels with this story! If you liked Bridget Jones, you will LOVE Jess and Alex! Their story takes place over the course of a year, December to December, and it culminates with a gorgeous, picture-perfect, happily-ever-after. Everything you could ever want out of a Hallmark Channel holiday movie and more!

I'm afraid that I'm in the habit of picking up books that I need to learn just aren't for me!

We Met in December follows two flatmates that meet around Christmas-time and beyond that, I'm actually struggling to figure out what the plot of the book was. I really don't like books that have large time jumps throughout the entire book (something I'm figuring out after reading a few in a row like this), and also when they meet but then can't be together because there's someone else? If a book is going to be a romance, I really want to see them together, together. I'm sure this is marketed as a love story, rather than romance (or even the sometimes cringy "chick-lit" or "women's fiction") but all of those would be better fits than a romance novel. There was so much fade to black with the time jumps that as soon as I did get invested in a certain scene it would jump to be weeks later.

It honestly felt like the same handful of scenes just repeated over different months. They got together in the end, right? I feel bad saying this, but this book is honestly forgettable for me. There was nothing remarkable that stands out, it all blends together, and it just wasn't for me!

Super adorable rom-com about Jess and Alex, flatmates in London. Jess likes Alex, but Alex likes someone else. What's a girl to do? This story moved along at a nice pace and I couldn't put the book down. It is a quick read and I enjoyed getting to now the characters more.

This book is great! Would definitely recommend. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I absolutely loved this book and everything about it!  And, look at that cover art! This is a perfect book for the holiday season, packed with Christmas love and cheer.  I truly enjoyed reading this book because it upped my mood and spirits and helped me remember the reason and magic of the holiday season.  I would highly recommend adding this book to your holiday reading list; it is like reading a Hallmark movie!

I picked this up because it sounded very similar to 'One Day in December' which is one of my favorites, but this one missed the mark for me. I enjoyed the characters, they were lovely and kind, and I enjoyed the descriptions of London, but I was not impressed with the plot and I felt like it dragged a bit.

Very sweet christmas type book. It's a lot like a hallmark movie, and it's a great read for the holiday.

Listened to a finished audiobook copy

I feel like this book was false advertising. I expected a lovely Christmas book and instead I got a book that was a year-long that was all about the two main characters being friends but wanting more. 
Both Jess and Alex were likable characters and I enjoyed each of their stories alone. However together and the storyline of the will they won't they was just not for me. 
Maybe If I had known these things going into the book I would have liked it more, but as I didn't do to the way the book was pitched I was disappointed. 

Overall this book just wasn't for me in this situation. I wanted a full Christmas book, and instead got a book filled with angst and longing, with a rushed ending where they ended up together.

I really enjoyed all the Christmas vibes in this one. The story went a little differently than I was expecting, but I did really enjoy reading about the characters. Overall, it was a great read for Christmas time.

We Met in December follows a year in the life of five housemates in London, though the story focuses mostly on Alex and Jess and their slew of missed opportunities and nearly-there's. 

Jess has moved to London to pursue her dream of working in publishing, and has scored an awesome deal on a room at her friend's home in Notting Hill. On the first night, she meets one of the other housemates, Alex, and believes there's a connection. However, Jess leaves for two weeks and comes back to find Alex is dating, or maybe not, one of the other housemates, Emma. The rest of the story follows their entire year as relationships and friendship ebb and flow.

For one thing, the book is a very quick, easy, and romantic read. I mean, what gets more romantic than London during Christmastime? But other than that, I had a very difficult time getting into the story. It felt like the entire plot of the first season of New Girl, and the main character even shared the same name: Jess. Additionally, I felt like Jess and Alex had no real connection or chemistry, so it was hard to root for them as a couple to begin with. Great friends? Sure, because they were basically the same person. But when they finally did get together, the reader feels as though they have no skin in the game and it rushes right through their realization that they're in love with each other. Ultimately, I was more fascinated by the other characters in the house -- Rob, Emma, and Becky -- which we didn't get to hear much about.

Ultimately, this was not the book for me, but the setting was nice and the secondary characters certainly helped to elevate the story.

Great for those who enjoy light hearted Christmas stories. This moves at a bit slower of a pace. At points this one moved slower than I would like. It had less romance than I was expecting and was more character driven.

This was cute story of a growing relationship with the angst and you were routing for Jess that things would work out.  A warm book that  was nice to read during the holidays.

WE MET IN DECEMBER was a fun and easy read. The plot wasn’t as deep as a lot of novels, but if you’re looking for a light read during the holiday season, I’d recommend it. It was a sweet romance and gives all the holiday feels.

I started to read this book, but wasn't interested in continuing. The story was cute, but didn't develop quick enough to draw my interest & keep me reading, so I decided to put it down.

Cute, enjoyable read that great to read around Christmas. I'm generally not a huge fan of more "love at first sight" stories but the book did side step a lot of the pitfalls of the trope. I enjoyed reading Jess and Alex get to know each other over the course of a year. I wished they had communicated earlier in the book though.
