Publisher's Summary
Prepare to fall head over heels. The perfect book for fans of Josie Silver, Richard Curtis, and anyone who ever fell in love with the wrong person…
‘Gorgeously festive and romantic’ Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn’t Call
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?

A bit boring really
Jess is a bit of a bland character, the romance is predictable and the story is a bit vanilla.
I can't be sure if it was the story that was boring or the narration that made me want to snooze every 5 minutes.
Although she has a nice voice with a warm tone and expression, Jessica Preddy has a slightly stilted, over-enunciated style similar to that of a kindergarten teacher reading a story book to children.... and her Scottish accent is distractingly woeful. The voice she uses for Jess's friend Jen, isn't dissimilar to that of a three-year-old little girl. Very annoying. Pretty sure I'll be avoiding books narrated by her in the future. Finlay Robertson does an okay job with Alex though.
Overall, you can save yourself 9 hours with this summary:
- Jess moves into a Notting Hill share-house
- Jess meets cute housemate
- 12 months later they start dating
Not much more than that happens.
