One Day In December by Josie Silver

I read a lot of lists, and am not often at a loss for what to read next. That said, it is nice to have a list that is less brainiac and more enjoyable, and I find the Reese Witherspoon book club picks to to be a nice balance of that--some of them are amongst the best books I read all year, and some are romantic fluff. This is the later. Laurie and Sarah are roommates and friends going back to college. Laurie lost her sister when she was young and Sarah fills the role of sibling and BFF. They share everything up until something life changing happens. It goes (improbably) like this: Laurie has a "love at first sight" moment one December with a guy at a bus stop. She spends a year scouring the city looking for him with no luck, until one day Sarah brings the very same guy home as her boyfriend. It goes about how you would predict it would, but the story winds around long enough to have all sorts of options come up and overall I would say the Reese Witherspoon romance selections are above average for the genre.
