I started reading this book, but did not finish it. I read a few chapters but was not interested in continuing with the story.

Although One Stop takes a while to get going, in my opinion, it’s a cute story and you can’t help but get invested in the characters and frustrated as life throws endless obstacles in their way. If you’re a fan of easy to read, entertaining chicklit, you’ll definitely like this book.

A lost connections love story in a modern day setting. Some of the pop culture references will date it to a very specific period in time, but this isn't a bad thing.

It's a lovely story, with lovely characters, who do lovely things. There's almost no drama, making it a nice easy read. Sometimes romance can to too cringe, too painful to read, making it a chore. Our Stop is pleasant and funny, and you wish you had friends like the characters in this book.

If you follow LJW on social, or have read any of her other books, you know she can tell a story - nothing to worry about there. You also will know how hard she worked to write this, right up to the wire. She has produced a charming love story, which I very much hope there is a sequel to.

So I have been on a contemporary binge lately and this did not disappoint. I really like the story and the main characters. I do think some things were a little rushed and others not enough. My only real problem with the book was the pacing and some of the situations and how they were handled.

Wonderfully written and a real joy to read. A thoroughly modern romance perfect for the 21st century.

This was a fun read for a holiday and I enjoyed the premise, however I felt like it could have had a stronger edit, as it seemed to go on longer than needed. I also struggled a bit with the characters, it just all felt a little to unrealistic for what I was hoping for but fun none the less.

People were absolutely raving about this book all over social media, and since I’m a sucker for a good romcom naturally I needed to read and review it for all of you. Sadly, I didn’t love the book as most people seem to.

My issue with this book really boils down to one simple thing: it’s too long. Every time they came close to meeting in person, but didn’t for the smallest reason, my frustration grew. In my opinion, it takes too long for them to meet. There are too many close calls, when it would’ve been far more rewarding if they met after a few missed connections and then began to build their relationship on the page. My interest in them meeting was the only thing that kept me reading, because I felt that once they met the story would be worth it.

But every time they began to doubt whether they would meet, and every time they JUST missed each other, a little bit of my soul shriveled up. There’s a certain point where tension turns to frustration because the story’s main premise is carried on too long.

Don’t get me wrong, the story has its cute moments. I wanted Nadia and Daniel to meet. Their conversations through the newspaper were sweet. My issue is that there just wasn’t enough in the story to really grip me.

Our Stop was raved about, so my opinion of the book is probably an unpopular one. I love romcoms, but this one had a flimsy plot with very little pay off. If you’re looking for a cute romance to read on a cold fall day, this probably isn’t the best choice.

A cute read which was amusing and fairly enjoyable overall. It took me a little while to really get into it and felt the pace was really slow, I like to hit the ground running a little bit I guess. 
Very modern and I could see why it may appeal to a younger audience.

Absolutely loved this! The story was so engaging and the female characters were relatable and funny and well rounded. Daniel was kind, considerate and intelligent - surely no such man exists lol. Loved the concept and the way the pair kept missing one another. Will definitely read more from this author. Thank you to Netgalley, Avon and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The train, the stranger and the passenger, this concept makes me believe in serendipity.

And that newspaper column, omg!!! You're a bomb, Daniel! I love it!

It took a lot of miss, almost meet-up and connections before they finally meet up! I was actually heartbroken when Nadia entered in a relationship because she thought that Daniel didn't want to meet her.

I had a huge smile when their friends helped Daniel finally meeting Nadia! 

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for the ARC!

I loved this story and was desperate to see how it ended. I liked the old school newspaper letters as a way of communicating. Some toe-curly moments where they were so close to meeting though which frustrated me a little

Overly long, contrived and very reminiscent of a 90s rom com. A forgettable beach read, not one for the ages.

I loved the premise that's why I requested the arc and the book did not disappoint. It was the perfect romcom, I can't wait to read more from the author.

Very enjoyable read about missed connections, missed opportunities, romance and meeting on the tube. I liked that the characters went against some rom-com stereotypes with a feminist twist while still following the tropes of the gennre.

A slightly slow start but it gets better!! A sliding doors type novel which becomes frustrating to read how close they get but not quite! Feel good and heartwarming, a lovely story

Modern romance perfection, I read this over weekend and couldn't put it down. To me it easily could be something that is happening to people now on the underground as their lives intermix. When I used to travel to London I used to enjoy reading the 'missed connections' box, thinking and hoping that they would meet and it would all happen happily ever after. 

It ticks all the boxes of engaging and believable charactors, relatable problems and plots but enough twists to keep you engaged and rotting for them.

As warming as a hot chocolate in Autumn, lined up to be the perfect rom com movie!

I loved Our Stop, finding so much to relate to and enjoy about this sweet, charming romantic comedy. The relatable wit and humour of 29 year old (same age as me!) Nadia, who is scatty and always resolving to be more organised and become the ‘new her’, was really engaging to read about, as well as romantic Daniel, and those many ‘near misses’ between them that have a real sense of fate threaded through them. I also loved how funny and amusing the story was, particularly at the beginning.

I loved the premise of this story – Daniel spies a girl he really likes one lunchtime and then sees her on his morning commute, so he sends in an advert to the ‘missed connections’ section of the paper. Therein starts a series of connections between them – mainly correspondence through the paper – as well as lots of ‘could have beens’.
The characters are believable and likeable and I just loved losing myself in Nadia and Daniel’s story. Sure, there are bits that you have to suspend your disbelief for a little, but that’s to be expected I think, and this never overshadows the story. The fact that the book is based in London, and mostly around an area I work in too, means it’s even more relatable and enjoyable.

Laura Jane Williams sums up the humour of being a nearly-30 year old in London and I found myself laughing at various points, and this only added to the charm of the novel for me!

As someone who usually sticks to crime fiction/ thrillers, largely because I really hate cheesiness, I’m so pleased I found a book in the romantic comedy genre that I loved so much. I was completely absorbed in this story and found it struck just the right balance between being sweet and romantic without too cloying or cheesy. Laura Jane Williams has it just right – ‘feel good’ sums it up perfectly – and for this reason I wouldn’t hesitate to read anything else she releases, in fact I’ll be first in line 🙂

OH MY GOSH I LOVED THIS HIDDEN GEM SO HARD! I feel like no one is talking about this book and I don't understand why?! It's the perfect British rom-com and I NEED it to be made into a movie immediately. Preferably with Emilia Clarke as Nadia. I also loved how "woke" this book was. Emotionally available men and some seriously bada$$ feminist ladies... so great! I can't recommend this one enough especially if you are looking for a heartwarming while also being laugh out loud funny romance. 5 stars!

A witty and wonderful revamp of a modern Sliding Doors 'will-they-won't-they' rom-com. Each page brought butterflies to my tummy as I devoured Nadia and Daniel's #OurStop journey. I loved it!

Not really my type of book.
A romantic book about 2 people who travel on the same tube each morning.Daniel wants to know Nadia better, so starts leaving ads in Missed Connections for her.
Not enough depth to the characters for me, but was an easy read.Thanks to Netgalley for an Arc.
