Our Stop is a fun rom-com story about Daniel who has a massive crush on Nadia. Daniel keeps seeing Nadia on his 7.30am Northern Line tube on the way to work but he's too shy to approach her. To grab her attention, he decides to leave her a message in a London newspaper in the 'Missed Connections' section. Nadia is intrigued and keen to know who the mysterious Train Guy is. The two exchange a few messages in the paper, but unfortunately things don't go as planned and Nadia and Daniel keep missing each other, unable to meet.
You can say that there are a ridiculous number of coincidences in the book, but that's probably part of the deal with the rom-com genre, so I'm going to suck it up and move on. What bothered me a bit was that the story itself is quite straightforward and does not need 360 pages to be told. I would say the book could easily lose one third of the volume, especially from the first half of the book where things are rather slow. Having said that, I did enjoy reading Our Stop. This book is a light sweet summer read for anyone craving a bit of a love story!
It was a nice change for me and a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of mysteries and thrillers I've been reading lately. After reading this I'm all 'romanced-up' till 2020!
