Synopsis

“A poignant, heart-tugging, life-affirming story that will wrap around you like a hug during any season. Keep tissues nearby!”—Josie Silver, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December

It started with a letter. It ended with a love story.

Every December, Josie posts a letter from her home in London to the parents she lost on Christmas night many years ago. Each year, she writes the same three words: Missing you, always. But this year, her annual trip to the postbox is knocked off course by a bicycle collision with a handsome stranger--a stranger who will change the course of Josie's life.
 
Josie always thought she was the only one who avoided the Christmas season, but this year, Max has his own reasons for doing the same—and coincidence leads them to spending the holiday together. Aglow with new love, Josie thinks this might be the start of something special. 
 
Only for Max to disappear without saying goodbye. 
 
Over the course of the next year, Max and Josie will find that fate continues to bring them together in places they'd never expect. New York City. Edinburgh. The quiet English countryside. And it turns out, Max had every reason to leave and every reason to stay. But what does fate hold for Josie and Max as Christmas approaches again?
 
A devastating, romantic, life-affirming love story, Always, in December will stay with readers long after they've finished the last page.

Even though I knew this was a tearjerker before I started... Even though I figured out what was going on long before it was revealed...

It’s all TRUE. Even though you have been warned by other reviewers that the ending requires tissues-you will be moved to tears anyway. It is INEVITABLE. Every December, Josie posts a letter to the parents she lost on Christmas night, when she was a young girl. She knows it cannot actually be deliver......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on December 08, 2021

TW: multiple deaths of loved ones; off page cheating; heart attack; cancer I’m very conflicted about how to rate this because I did pick it up as a romance book BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT’S LABELED AS, but it definitely isn’t. Was it still well written? Yes. Would I have read this had I known it wasn’t......more

Goodreads review by Debra on October 19, 2021

Ever start a book thinking you know exactly how it is going to end and how the story would be? That was the case for me in this book and I was off base. The cover makes it look light, cheerful, sweet, and perfect for winter read. Enter Kleenexes stage left... But underneath that cover is a tale of lo......more

Well, that was Unexpected! Bring Hankies. Lots of them! A chance for December romance. Both Hopeful and Haunting. The characterizations in this book are honest, real, and raw. The emotions it drew from me are intense and heartfelt. Emily Stone, you got me and got me good! Josie and Max, you stole my......more
