I really enjoyed this book and I found it funny and uplifting. Daniel and Nadia are meant to be with each other and it was fantastic how the author found ways to bring them close just to bring them apart again - I found myself despairing at some times as I wanted for them to meet!

It was a lovely story, full of interesting themes and beautiful romance.
Definitely a must read if you travel on the tube often!

A nice story about a guy who sees the love of his life on a train and resorts to running an advert to try and meet her. Along the way we have every obstacle placed in the way of them actually meeting. So the story really is about them and their other relationships, as this one is pretty much guaranteed, if only they could speak to each other.

“She still half-heartedly thought there was something staggeringly romantic about meeting somebody on the underground: two people coming from different places, going to different places, chance putting them in the same place at the same time for mere minutes.”

Nadia gets the same Underground train to work every morning - if she’s on time. So does Daniel, and he’s been trying to pluck up the courage to speak to Nadia for weeks. Instead, he gets her attention in a different way: through the Missed Connections column in the daily commuter paper.

What follows is a will they-won’t they hopeful story of romance, friendship, and a lot of near-misses as Daniel and Nadia try to work out what they want from life and love, whether it’s with each other or not.

I love romantic comedies, and I love Laura Jane Williams' writing (I’ve been reading her work since she self-published The Book of Brave back in the day, and have read both her non-fiction books) so I knew I’d love Our Stop, too. It’s a rom-com with a few twists, and it’s refreshingly modern, so even if you think you don’t like “romance” or “chick lit” or whatever you want to call it, give Our Stop a try. It might just change your mind...

There has been so much hype about this book but it just fell flat for me. Oh man did it drag. I know the whole premise of the book is missed connections but after the second one, they got a bit unrealistic and boring. It doesn’t help that everything is over-described and explained. I also found topics like gay relationships, consent and women in STEM was shoved in to get brownie points but they weren’t fleshed out. Like, Nadia works in A.I but we never see her actually doing work or learn anything about it.

I also found it a tad creepy that Daniel felt like he had fallen in love with Nadia after overhearing one conversation and then kind of obsesses over her. The missed connections are dragged out and then it’s all over in an extremely cheesy flash. It just didn’t do it for me. I struggled to finish it and ended up skim reading some parts because it just didn’t hold my attention. It was a cute idea but it just didn’t come together well.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This book is truly a feel-good love story. Who knew public transport could provide the backdrop for a blossoming romance?!
This book is definitely a summer read.
I did enjoy this book, however I did struggle towards the end.
I would recommend this book, definitely as a holiday read!

I mostly read thrillers or literary fiction but my heart will always belong to the crappily named "chick-lit" genre - I spent my teens devouring bonkbusters by Jackie Collins and Jilly Cooper and then graduated to Marian Keyes, Adele Parks, Jane Green and of course, Bridget Jones.

Being in my late 30s and married with kids, I read a lot less in this genre because I can't really relate to the modern dating world as I've been with my husband for so long - but the premise of this novel intrigued me and I wasn't disappointed! I absolutely loved this gem of a novel - a perfect treat for a holiday, weekend or comfort read, you'll come away from this book with a big smile on your face just like the Meg Ryan movies they talk about in the book. I was totally involved in #ourstop and it was relatable and believable!

A cute, modern romance that gave me giddy feels and felt familiar yet fresh all at once. This was a feel good storyline with witty dialogue and I enjoyed it.

Lovely summer read. A modern love story, started by a message in the paper. Lots of missed moments but in the end they meet and it's really cute. Especially loved Daniel's character, who is dealing with the death of is father. Also enjoyed some of the side characters like Gaby and Emma and their story. And Romeo! Could have been a bit shorter, but overall a fun summer read.

The Blurb :
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?

My Thoughts :
This bright, colourful summery cover alone screams pick me up and read me.
We meet Nadia Fielding and Daniel Weissman who both get get the same train every morning. When Daniel finds himself attracted to Nadia he sets out to get in contact with her through the Missed Connections section of the morning newspaper. He feels it isnt easy just to come out and talk to her and risk looking like a weirdo.
What follows is a lot a lot of exchanged messages but also missed chances and it leaves us questioning will they or wont they. The story is told from both their POVs, which generally I struggle with but it really worked for their story and was well written. Both Nadia and Daniel are likeable characters and I found myself routing for them on many occasions. They both have a story to tell and it was good we got to find out what had been happening in their lives previously up to this point.
Once again a great story from Laura Jane Williams, a real good feel book and one that will stay with you after turning the page.

I loved the way the protagonists in this book were both clever, eloquent people, successful in their careers, it makes such a change from a ditzy girl in a dead end job finding herself some great bloke!
But oh....I could completely identify with lovely Nadia. I had a tear in my eye too, at her musings and thoughts.
Chick lit is growing up...I enjoyed it!

Perfect summer reading. A really cute romance that keeps you on your toes, even though you know how it is going to end. I did enjoy the near misses that made you hold your breath. Is this the moment? What rocks are strewn on the path to true love? I held back one star as I felt Daniel was too perfect to be true, and there were too many unrealistic co-incidences where their paths almost crossed.
If you are a sucker for a sugary fairytale romance, then this book is for you.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for a ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams is a cute romantic comedy, that I enjoyed. I love the quirky people and situations in this book, and watching the characters grow. I found this book to be a quick read, and recommend it to all readers who enjoy a sweet romance.

I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

Super cute and fun book! I enjoyed this quick read. If you are looking for a fun, romantic comedy, this book will keep your attention. I look forward to more books from this author!

3 stars
I liked it, didn't love it. It was hard for me to get through. I am not sure why.
Thanks to net galley for giving me an arc to read.

This was a cute read. I liked the way the two main characters got to know each other through their writing. The tension of the many near misses in meeting each other kept the story flowing and kept me reading so I could finally get to the place in the book where they finally figure it all out. That being said, the near misses may have gone on a bit too long for my taste. I also did not like the dodgy roommate Lorenzo side story. I am not 100% sure why that was necessary. Reading about someone who does coke Thursday through Sunday and then almost has sex with an extremely drunk and incapacitated women just didn't add to this book at all.

Sweet idea and a good quick holiday read. Definitely makes me with I took the tube to work - something I never thought I'd say. I just wish the ending had been a bit more believable. Cute side characters.

I absolutely loved this book! I literally devoured it in a few days and even put off studying for it - oops!

Dont get me wrong there were few cringeworthy moment but I couldn't help but laugh with the characters. There were points when I felt there was some unnecessary detailing of their jobs - I understand they're meant to be intelligent "woke" millennials but I'm not sure I needed to know Nadia's salary. None the less I enjoyed it. Thoroughly.

This is a perfect light summer read. I could definitely imagine reading this by a pool. I'm excited to read more by Laura Jane William's.

I had a really hard time getting into this book. I didn't mind that it switched perspectives in each chapter, but it was hard to get a really good feel for the characters before it switched to someone else. The plot was interesting and I did enjoy that, but the switching perspectives in short chapters made it hard for me to engage.

Oh my goodness what a book!!! I absolutely loved this story and how much it offered.

It kept me hooked right in, staying up later than usual to see how it finished. It is a well written story that keeps you wanting so much more!

An interesting idea that overall left me disappointed. I honestly would’ve given up on the book a few chapters in if I had borrowed it from a library. But I wanted to finish it since it was a review copy.

I didn’t warm to Nadia or her friends and couldn’t really relate to them or to their lives. The only characters that really liked were Daniel and Romeo. However I enjoyed the near misses of the ‘Missed Connections' and the eventual meet up was well written. That was romantic and rescued the book from getting a lower rating.
