Laurie experiences love at first sight when her bus stops and she makes eye contact with a man sitting on the bench. The bus drives away before they’re able to get to each other. She searchs for this man for months, absolutely sure that he’s the man she is meant to be with. 

Then her best friend, Sarah, introduces Laurie to her new boyfriend who she’s been gushing over for weeks. It’s the man from the bus. His name is Jack. 

The story goes on for 10 years of hearbreak and missed opportunities, always seeing each other at points in their lives when they can’t be together. But it’s ultimately a heartwarming love story that left me a little teary eyed in the end. It’s a super satisfying wintery read that will give you warm fuzzy feelings inside.
