Unfortunately I had to DNF this one. I think it was a case of me not being in the right mood for this book. I liked Nadia's character but just couldn't get into Daniel's character. He was a little creepy for me - I just wanted him to go and actually talk to Nadia rather than just watching her from a distance. I did like the writing though - I thought it was witty and fun and had some really great pop culture references scattered throughout.

This was such a fun read - I've always found myself wondering about the Missed Connections section of the daily papers so seeing it explored so brilliantly in this book was great. I thought it was funny and cute, and I really got invested in Nadia and Daniel's story.

I enjoyed this one and it’s humor, but it was a little too over-the-top at times. The male and female main characters actually don’t even meet until over 2/3 of the way into the book, instead having a series of neat-misses throughout the story. Certainly worthy if you’re looking for a comedic escape.

A good read, thank you for allowing me to read it! I did like this book, it was fun, but it took a while for me to get into it! There were a few parts of the book that felt like the author was trying to make a statement, which is fine but not for everyone. The characters were good! Once it got going, I thought it was a fun romance!

loved this book - would 100% recommend and am looking forward to reading what this author writes next!

Our Stop is a book interlaced with the ever-romantic notion of serendipity. The idea that you're meant to meet someone and it's only a matter of timing before things click and it works out. Multiple missed opportunities and eventually a meet-cute story to tell for all time.

This is the first book of this author I have read but it more defiantly will not be the last! The story is of Nadia, who gets the train every morning at 7:30am. That is unless she oversleeps, then she spills coffee on herself and is in a mad dash.  Daniel also gets the train every morning at 7:30am without fail. Daniel is together and makes sure his day does not fail. 

One morning there is a note in the newspaper to a girl who has coffee down her dress. Could this be about Nadia? The whole of the book tells us the story of the newspaper letters sent back and forth – not ever knowing if the right people are getting the notes or responding. It also shows the disasters Nadia gets herself into and how close Dan & Nadia are to meeting but don’t. The whole of the nation is hooked by the letters in the papers and the will they meet/ wont they.  

The story is fabulously told by the author, it is a modern-day love story with so much humour you can't help but laugh out loud. It is so much more than just a rom com; it gives hope to dreamers. It’s a beautiful book that gives us so much more than we knew we wanted.

I was intrigued by the premise of this book as a Londoner who travels on the tube and enjoys reading the Missed Connections section of the Metro, and once I finished I was left feeling completely bedazzled and charmed by this warm, witty debut novel. 
This book follows two protagonists. First we have Nadia, a 29-year old who works with Artificial Intelligence, who takes the 7.30 Northern line to Waterloo. Nadia has just gotten over a bad breakup with a toxic man who shattered her self-esteem. She is just getting her together, moving forward, when on the train one morning she gets a message from her friend: there is a missed connection post in the newspaper and she is certain it's for Nadia. Encouraged by her friends Nadia writes back...
Daniel, a 30-year old, consultant engineer has gotten a 6-month contract near London Bridge. Daniel is still dealing with the death of his father, which has made him realise that life is too short and he's ready to fall in love and settle down. Then one afternoon in Borough Market he overhears a woman talking with a colleague and is utterly captivated by her. He doesn't see her again until he spots her on the Northern Line at 7.30am one morning. Daniel takes his chances and posts a Missed Connection message for her. She replies back and thus begins an adorable back-and-forth between the two and a series of near misses. In a big city like London will the two finally meet?...
I highly enjoyed this one. The characters were well-developed and real, I found myself emotionally invested in their story. Both characters have flaws, yet are honest and sweet. I also loved the setting of London, and the familiar locations. This book made me fall in love with London once again as well as being held captive to Nadia and Daniel's story.  The prose is crisp and pacy. There were plenty of LOL-moments, too, but I admired how the book never veered into silly OTT comedy, instead it was grounded in reality and subtle without being mushy. I loved this one, and will eagerly await for what Laura Jane Williams does next. If you want something life-affirming, engaging and warm I highly recommend this. 5/5

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for this copy of Our Stop in exchange for an honest review. It took me a while to get to this book, but I’m so glad I did! It’s an adorable tale of two commuters on the same train in London who fall in love.. As an NYC subway rider, I loved this! Can’t wait for the author’s next novel, the Love Square.

A sweet romance, bit predictable and not the most original idea in the world but well executed and an easy read.

I love this type of romace- the maybe, maybe not with a happy ending. This was exactly what I needed in my life right now. It felt like it was written for me, down to the Romeo + Juliet (my face movie ever) cinema. Both main characters were lovely, though their friends kind of sucked. It was an awesome read that I will definitely be recommending.

I liked the story outline, but at times I didn't feel that some of the more crude language and descriptions added anything, and would make me wary of buying this as a present

Thank you for the early copy!

I’m a super picky romance reader and sadly I did not connect with this one.

Loved the premise of this book and knew it would be one I’d really enjoy reading. I also listened to the audiobook at the same time (switching formats, depending on what I was doing) and it didn’t disappoint. A fun, quirky read and I’ll be looking out for more books by Laura Jane Williams.

I liked the sound of this book, cute, modern romance but it was too sweet and shallow for me and I could not get beyond a few chapters before giving up.

Cute romance, believable main and secondary characters. Rooted for the two MCs from the first moment.

Couldn’t finish this. I liked the sound of it from the description but this was very cheesy and formulaic, and not engagingly written enough for me to get past that

The concept of this book was really cute. Two daily commuters. One newspaper column called ‘Missed connections’. A post directed to ‘the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress’ and what ensued was a whole lot of cuteness.

Truly a cute concept (how many times can I say cute… it was cute). That’s simply the best description.

I enjoyed the alternating viewpoint of Nadia and Daniel. And I enjoyed the sub plots with Nadia’s best friends.

Thank you NetGalley & Avon Books for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest review.

I had extremely high hopes for Our Stop; but unfortunately if fell a little flat for me. I felt that it was extremely long and drawn out with a lot of unnecessary verbiage. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it was 100 pages shorter. The overall story is cute, but just extremely too long. The whole time I'm reading, I planned to rate it 2 stars, but it finally picked up pace for me at around the 70%-75% mark so I added an extra star.

Great romance! At first the story did come off a little stalker-ish but once I was able to overlook that it wasn't too bad. Towards the middle of the novel, however, it did feel that the story did drag on more than I thought necessary. I could have done without the second lead male character and that story arc. It did seem credible but at the same time, I could do without it. Not the best romance novel I have read this year but definitely not the worst.
