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.

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.

I requested this as I’d seen the hype surrounding it. I love nothing more than a little light-hearted romance, and one set around the Tube seemed to be a match made in heaven. Sadly, all that I received was disappointment.

It started out doing its absolute best to tell me everything, and I found it difficult to get into the book when errors are so glaringly obvious. Phone signal has not arrived in the depths of Angel station (I’m pretty sure it’s not even available halfway down the escalator). There is absolutely no chance that you’re texting your best friend unless you’re desperately trying to cling onto the WiFi as it loads at each station.

Despite the romance being between two grown adults, the language was juvenile and the whole narrative felt stilted and like it couldn’t quite decide if it wanted to broach the adult romance genre. Everything was presented in too idealistic a manner and paired with the must be as woke and related as possible stance it takes, it felt cheap and depthless.

I have no doubt that this will find its audience, and that they will love it.

This was a cute romcom, even if it did rely on an awful lot of coincidences which affected believability. It did feel a little long though, and it took a while to finish what should have been a cute and quick read. 3.5 out of 5.

The strange thing with this book is that I started off not liking it. I found it too Chick Lit though I loved The Flatshare. I'd say that the second half gets a lot better than the first and I really wanted to see what happened. I went from skimming through the pages to reading, keen to find out what would happen.

It's a standard boy meets girl story though this on is through the missing connections column that you see in papers like The Metro. Admittedly I used to like reading that column too so this was a great idea for a book. It does get a bit annoying how they keep missing each other and some of the reasons are far fetched, though it's that kind of book. It's also predictable.

I'd recommend for anyone who likes Laura Jane Williams and those of you who fancy a light hearted read.

That said it's not for the easily offended as there are parts of the book which are pretty offensive.

I LOVED this book!
Nadia is turning over a new leaf, trying to get to work on time, and only just managed to get on the 7.30am train to work after the door is held for her. Daniel has been having trouble sleeping after the death of his father so he is on his way to work on the same train.
Someone posts a message in the local newspaper for “the girl with the coffee stained dress”
Encouraged by friends, Nadia is led to believe the message is for her and she and Daniel begin a conversation via the newspaper, trying to meet but always narrowly missing each other. A couple of near misses and a short lived relationship with someone else ensue before the online relationship becomes real life.
I loved the well written characters in Laura Jane Williams book, (even the one that wasn’t very likeable but who managed to redeem himself by making an effort to be a better person.) and would love to see these characters again.

Easy, enjoyable read that's perfect for lazy days around the pool.

Likeable characters & definitely a feeling of a modern day "Sliding Doors"

Oh, man. I should have loved this book. I don't understand how it went so wrong. The premise is adorable. I love the idea of people meeting via Missed Connections. I love that they wrote back and forth to each other. But... holy mackerel.

Daniel is absolutely perfect. He literally has no flaws. It's annoying because it's unrealistic, but it also comes across as the author trying too hard. She wants so badly to show us how woke Daniel is that it's just diadatic. It's too much. (And this is coming from someone who described her work in progress as liberal propoganda.) Nadia is so beautiful that all men can't help but fall in love with her instantly. She's also somehow smart enough to land a job in AI, despite coming across as not terribly bright. Worse, Nadia's job only ever comes up to show that Daniel is super perfect because he appreciates that she's strong and smart. We never see Nadia actually working. So it's basically the author telling us how smart she is while showing that she's anything but.

The voice is good, the writing is generally good but... it's just too over the top.

Delightful romantic novel, full of near misses, missed opportunities culminating in a tender meeting for their first date. Loved every moment of this book

I absolutely adored Our Stop! Such a charming story. Daniel Weissman sees Nadia Fielding near his work and immediately thinks she is beautiful and intelligent. Fate intervenes, and he realizes they ride the same 7:30 am train (most days). Instead of approaching her, he uses the "Missed Connections" section of the paper to reach out to her. What ensues is back and forth adverts in the newspaper, and several 'almost' moments of meetings.

I love that while both have the opportunities for love and dating elsewhere (with very promising people!), the dream of each other is what burns brightest for them. While adverts seem very old fashioned and I wonder if they would even work today, it was so ridiculously heart warming and touching. Reminded me a bit of You've Got Mail, without the hate to love trope.

P.S. What is with the Romeo and Juliet immersive movie experience? This is the second time I've read a novel with an immersive movie experience taking place in London (the other being One Day in December - Grease) and I think I officially need to move to London.
