Always, in December by Emily Stone
5.0
On a very cold night in December, while feeling at her lowest, Josie literally ran into Max. She literally ran him over with her bike. Being distracted by the nostalgia of missing her parents, blinded by tears both from the anniversary of her parent's death and her recent breakup with her now ex-boyfriend, Josie was definitely not paying attention to where she was going.
After apologizing a million times, she offered to buy him a drink as an apology. Hesitating for only a second, Max went with her to a near pub and after that, they ended up spending Christmas week on each other’s company.
Sadly on Boxing Day, Max pulled a D-Move and left quietly in the morning, leaving behind only a note and no further details of how to contact him, giving the suggestion that what they had, whatever it was, was only temporary. At least that’s how it felt to Josie.
Over the next months, they continue to have a few encounters. Making them wonder what the next Christmas will have in store for them.

I need to say that… I need a break from life after reading this book. It broke me apart and brought me back to life. I sincerely suggest that you give this story a chance just to make you feel something. I absolutely adored Emily Stone’s writing style. Who said that romantic books cannot have a jaw-dropping plot twist. I was not, I repeat,
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT ENDING!!!
I just don’t know what to do with my life. Would I read it again, just feel all that again? ABSOLUTELY! This is a story that will teach you to dream big and to always follow those dreams. No matter how impossible they may seem. Only you can determine how far you can go in life. There is always a way. Do not give up!
Thank you Random House Publishing Group and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this beautiful story.
