About the Book:
What if you almost missed the love of your life? Nadia gets the 7.30 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 7.30 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.

The mating rituals of the sexes were a constant source of fascination.
Our Stop is a really cute romantic comedy mixing moments of hilarity while also mining the depths of our characters hearts. Part of what made this novel so enjoyable was the cast of characters. Her characters went from serious to funny, from unbearable to swoon-worthy. She wrote a flirty, funny story with serious undertones that will have you turning page after page. What I really liked was the fact that it was a boy chases girl rom-com. It was nice having it from the man's point of view as well and Ms. William's did a great job of it.

It was like Savage Garden knowing they loved you before they met you.
This book was tons of fun, and I was smiling from page one until the very end, just wonderful. Laura Jane Williams knows how to write Rom-Com and it really shows in this book. She wrote a plot-line that had a little bit of everything. I loved the ups and down of this relationship as it kept this story fresh even though the story is as old love itself. I was so rooting for this couple. This book is so raw and real and funny...I was seriously laughing out loud through the whole thing.

We both know falling in love isn’t a happy ending – it’s just the beginning.
This novel was one of my most anticipated reads for June. Did it live up to my expectations? It had a great meet cute, subtle humor, solid friendships, kooky best friends, and hot love interest. Yes! I wasn’t disappointed at all. Contemporary romance fans rejoice, this is another winner in this genre. And can I simply add that I adore the cover?!

Thank you NetGalley, Laura Jane Williams and Avon Books UK for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
