Four lives would be changed forever, One Day in December. One morning in December... Caro set off on a quest to find out if her relationship with her father had been based on a lifetime of lies. Lila decided today would be the day that she told her lover's wife of their secret affair. Cammy was on the way to pick up the ring for the surprise proposal to the woman he loved. And Bernadette vowed that this was the day she would walk away from her controlling husband of 30 years and never look back. One day, four lives on a collision course with destiny... MY REVIEW ONE DAY IN DECEMBER by Shari Low is an example of contemporary fiction at its finest. Engaging, addictive, and all-consuming, this story completely took over and I did not even notice the hours drift by as I was immersed in that all-important day in December when lives would change forever. Caro is devastated at the dwindling health of her mother and the complete abandonment by her father at a time when they need him more than ever. Even though his important job had always taken him away during most of her life, Caro is angry that he would turn his back on them now. But when a little Facebook digging seems to uncover a lifelong secret that could change everything, Caro travels to Glasgow to confront the man she never really knew or understood. I loved Caro and her kind heart and she was one of my favourites in this book. Lila is selfish and self-obsessed and has decided that she no longer wants to wait for her married lover to leave his wife, and resolves to take matters into her own hands. When Lila wants something she takes it and to hell with the consequences or gets hurt in the process. As you can tell I was not a massive fan of Lila but I was still hooked by her story and how it all would end. Cammy is sexy, sweet, and a little heartbroken from a love that he let get away. Now in a new relationship, he is giving it his all and has planned a romantic proposal to the new lady in his life. It is time he grew up and this is the perfect next step, even if his closest friends feel it is an awful mistake. Cammy is a wonderful character who is so endearing that you just want to hug him and take him under your wing. And then there is Bernadette, a hardworking and caring nurse, who has spent thirty years married to a calculating and controlling monster. Seeing her friend find happiness in her later years has inspired her to break free. With her plans ready to go, Bernadette only hopes that she doesn't let fear force her to retreat. Bernadette is my favourite character and I desperately wanted her to find the happiness and love that she truly deserved. All of these characters stories converge in unexpected ways on that one fateful day in December and as the drama unfolds, you will not be able to put this book down. The day itself is split into slots and the story moves from one character to another as the narrative flows easily from beginning to end. ONE DAY IN DECEMBER by Shari Low is a superb story of love, secrets, friendship, and heartbreak, and needs to be on everyone's reading list this year. Author Bio: Shari lives in Glasgow and writes a weekly opinion column and Book Club page for a well-known newspaper. She is married to a very laid-back guy and has two athletic teenage sons, who think she’s fairly embarrassing, except when they need a lift.
