Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Fun
I loved this story. Life can be messy and sometimes stressful. This story tells how even if you try to escape living life the universe can give you a curve ball.

Very clever!
This story has adventure, romance, a little magic, and mystery all swirled into a story that is sure to delight all ages. I will be adding this to my yearly lineup for the holidays moving forward. This is a modern retelling of the song the 12 days of Christmas. I would have loved to hear this read by another narrator but overall a really fun read for this time of year! 🎄

It's dumb, but entertaining.
The silliness of assuming the characters didn't know what was coming after the first couple of days was too much for me. It is farfetched by any stretch of the imagination but it was a light listen for a holiday road trip. I would never recommend it though.
