*No1 Multi-Million Copy Best-Selling Author*

In a career spanning twenty five years, author Shari Low has published over 35 books, and sold over five million copies around the globe, hitting the best seller charts in many countries including UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Australia.

In 2020, her first novel, What If? (originally published in 2001), was updated and re-released, followed by the sequels What Now? and What Next?. All three novels became international best sellers.

Since then, several of Shari's books have been #1 chart-toppers - including One Day With You, One Moment in Time, One Christmas Eve. One Year After You, and One Midnight With You.

Her latest novel, One Day and Forever was published in January 2025 by Boldwood Books.

Shari has also co-written three Hollywood thrillers, The Rise, The Catch and The Fall, with LA-based TV presenter and actor Ross King.

In real life, once upon a time she met a guy, got engaged after a week, and thirty-something years later she lives near Glasgow with the one they said would never last. Their children have now grown and scattered across the world, so she spends an inordinate amount of time on video calls and aeroplanes.

    All of the above and more. I hated with a hate for evil and sighed for the broken and deceived feeling every bit of their pain.

    I was sucked in pretty quickly and had to see if everyone got what they deserved. I was very pleased at the final outcomes... every last one of them.

    Looking forward to book number two.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    It is Saturday, December 23. 2017. So much can happen in a day. If you have read other books by Shari Low, you know her gift for taking us through a day and telling an unforgettable story. Inevitably there will be at least one tissue-worthy moment and plenty of laughs along the way.

    So come along with Caro, Lila, Cammy, and Bernadette for an unforgettable day in Glasgow. When they wake up on December 24, their lives will not be the same. While these four were fascinating to follow, I must also commend Shari Low for her supporting characters. Josie and Val, Cammy's surrogate aunts, are a hoot! They should have their own book.

    I am on a mission to read this series in the last days of December. Two more days and two more books. Up next: Another Day in Winter.🥳

    5.0 out of 5 stars One day in the life of normal people
    Reviewed in Germany on December 14, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    As the title says this novel follows the life of four main characters with their family and friends for one day.
    In the beginning all characters are introduced by name and relationship that makes the reading easier.

    Each chapter covers two hours and the focus switches from Caro to Cammy to Lila to Bernadette during that time frame. Some scenes are funny, we get to know all the mishaps Cammy faces during his attempt to organize the perfect proposal or Lila's permanent urge to post selfies; others are suspenseful, when Bernadette moves out of her house to leave her husband of 35 years I wondered with her whether Ken would show up suddenly. I shook my head about Lila's careless use of social media (without any filter) and admired Caro trying to find Lila in Glasgow by using the pictures and comments about her daily life on her facebook account .

    I enjoyed the development of the MCs, Caro transforms from a mousy person to a beautiful young woman, Cammy realizes very fast that Lila was not the One for him, and Bernadette remains steadfast and begins a new life.

    A recommendable read and not my last one by this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, intense, heartwarming...
    Reviewed in Australia on October 21, 2017

    I genuinely could not put this book down. I adore Shari Low’s novels and once again she did not disappoint.

    The thing I love about Shari Low’s novels is how she creates characters with relatable circumstances but life has thrown them an unexpected curve ball and they find an inner strength that is just so heartwarming and inspiring.

    ‘One Day in December’ is about four completely different people who’s lives become entwined in the strangest of ways. I expected an easy, escapist chick-lit book but this was much more.

    Set over the space of one day, this book introduces us to four people who don’t really know each other, but have so much connecting them. It was great how well the story flowed from one person to another, with a chapter being dedicated to each character in turn.

    Caro who’s gut instinct fears that her childhood wasn’t as it seemed, is setting off by train to track down the father who abandoned her and her mother years before. A post on Facebook, has led Caro to suspect that her father’s frequent absences on business during the years he and her mother were together may have been cover for something else entirely. Was he in fact leading a double life?

    Then there is menswear shop owner Cameron, known to his friends as Cammy, wears his heart on is sleeve and is planning to propose to his girlfriend. She’s the first woman he’s fallen for since he lost the love of his life to another man. Helped by pals, Josie and Val (hilarious characters), he’s chosen the perfect ring, the perfect suit, the perfect restaurant. Now he just needs everything to go to plan.

    Lila is an Instagram addict who has one thing on the top of her agenda – herself. She’s interested in snaring her married lover, cardiac surgeon Ken, who she’s been having a passionate affair with for years, unbeknownst to his wife. Lila’s determined that today’s the day Ken will tell his wife he’s leaving her – and if not, Lila’s going to do it for him!!

    And finally there is Bernadette, a woman who has been living in fear and resentment for far too long. Bernadette knows all about leaving because after thirty years of marriage – she’s had enough of her husbands callous, controlling behaviour and she’s planning her departure for life as a free woman however she needs to make her escape before Ken returns home.

    The story may take place over one day in the city of Glasgow, but it will be a momentous day for our characters. Events unfold in two-hourly time slots with frequent switches between the different characters.

    The further into the storyline I read, the clearer certain situations seemed to become. This wasn’t a story about relationships being broken but rather it was a story about how things are not always what they seem. It was a story about learning to find true happiness and not being afraid to take that first step.

    Moving, intense, eye-opening and incredibly heart-warming; ‘One Day in December’ will leave you reaching for the tissues and a box of chocolates or a glass of wine... while also warming your heart and making you smile at the same time. 5 Stars Ms. Low again!!
