Description

A wonderfully funny will-they-won’t-they romance, perfect for those who loved Sally Thorne’s 99% Mine and Helena Hunting’s Meet Cute.

What if you almost missed the love of your life?

Nadia gets the 7:30am train every morning without fail. Well, except if she oversleeps or wakes up at her friend Emma’s after too much wine.

Daniel really does get the 7:30am train every morning, which is easy because he hasn’t been able to sleep properly since his dad died.

One morning, Nadia’s eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper:

To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I’m the guy who’s always standing near the doors… Drink sometime?

So begins a not-quite-romance of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word.

“OUR STOP is as rich as a double dutch chocolate cake. The romance filling delivers to the last delicious morsel!” – Romance Junkies

  • Painfully slow

    Way to slow. A hundred pages too long. The payoff isn’t even worth it. This is obviously a talented writer, but the story was just too dull and drawn out for me. Not to mention the weird shifting of POV. It is written in dual POV, but then every now and then, a random side character gets a paragraph of their own POV. Very confusing.
