Or should we say, One POD in December? For our final episode of 2021, we dive into our undisputed favorite time of the year, and we go full on festive, discussing our traditions, whether we Santa or not, plus a special Am I The Antagonist, since tis the season for merry (or not so) mishaps and miscommunications.
And our pretty book club pick package tied up in string is One Day In December by Josie Silver. We both voted it a season’s heatings PAGE TURNER.
Things we liked:
- Very real depiction of relationships, love, family, and friendship
- Follows the two main characters’ story arcs for several years, making them more relatable and the slow burn more satisfying
- Swoony, radio-worthy love-story ending
Things we disliked:
- The falling out between Laurie and Sarah was the one not so realistic but necessary plot turn
- The evil step-ex and mother, ’nuff said
Overall rating: 4/5
