Year 4, week 20: This Time Next Year

This week's book:
This Time Next Year
Sophie Cousens

The first book of 2021 is a little romance about New Year's Day. This woman has always had bad luck on her birthday, January 1st. The day she was born, she barely missed being the first baby of the year, which would have brought her parents a cash prize. Funny enough, both my father-in-law and mom missed being the first babies of the year as well. She meets the guy that was the first baby of the year and they make "friends". The plot jumps around to their different birthdays and shows how their lives evolved. 

The plot is kind of like the film When Harry Met Sally meets the book One Day by David Nicholls. The book had been a option on my Book of the Month, but I was able to reserve it on audiobook from the library so I didn't end up buying it. I was listening to it for the last little while, but I wanted it to be finished it on New Year's Day and just finished this morning, what perfect timing! 

I would probably recommend it. It's cute and set in England so it was a fun little read.
