We Met in December by Rosie Curtis

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

This December, unlucky-in-love Jess is following her dream and moving to Notting Hill. On the first night in her new house-share she meets Alex, the guy in the room next door. They don’t kiss under the mistletoe, but there’s still a spark that leaves Jess imagining how they might spend the year together – never mind the house rule against dating…
But when Jess returns from her Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started seeing Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into the man of her dreams – and, apparently, the woman of his. Jess is determined to move on and spend the year falling in love with London, not Alex – but what if her heart has other ideas?

Thank you to Netgalley for letting review this book. Before I start my review if you read One Day in December or The Flatshare this is a great book for you as it is the perfect mix of the two! Now time for my review!

This was the first winter read of the year and I really enjoyed it as it wasn’t fully set around the festive period but over months instead which was a great way to progress the story and not drag it out too long, I think thats why I read it so quick!

I enjoyed the different characters that live in the house: Jess and Alex who have both left well paid jobs in search of doing something different and following their dreams!, Becky who owns the house after it being left to her from her grandparents and is able to charge super cheap rent for the posh side of London (P.S I need to find a friend like Becky!), Emma who doesn’t pay attention of the no relationship rule between the other housemates and has a casual fling with Alex and then there’s the chef who name has suddenly gone out of my head!

I liked reading about the walks round London Alex and Jess did together, but I felt like I knew what was going to happen at the end of the story and then all of a sudden there was a leap forward a year so it was quite a lot of build up and then felt quite rushed. 

However there was a best quote for me, where Jess is talking about her new boss. “He doesn’t Just have a plum in his mouth, I reckon he’s got several fruit trees”
