I enjoyed reading A Matter of Course by Jody Wenner. It was interesting reading from the different point of views – especially since initially they were all strangers on a train together and because of one individual’s actions, their lives become interwoven. It makes you think about how your actions have the potential to impact others. #AMatterofCourse #NetGalley

A poor house painter finds a stash of money, quits his job, and boards an elevated train. When he accidentally trips and falls, the voices within his head become unbearable and he lashes out. How these actions impact everyone in the train car is the subject of A Matter of Course, a heartfelt look into people’s real stories that lie beneath their superficial facades.

The initial scenes in this book are exciting. But then the pacing slows down considerably. The author begins to explore the thoughts and feelings of the train car passengers. If you enjoy character-driven fiction, I believe you will enjoy A Matter of Course. It even has a little romance thrown in. 3 stars.

Thanks to author and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

NetGalley, Thank you for the free copy in exchange for an honest review. I am sorry to say that I was not impressed by this book. I was sucked in by the initial story, enjoyed the opening chapters with the characters outlined on the subway— great hook but then, it just fell flat for me. I kept reading— some good moments but at the end it was just an average read for me.. three stars.

An interesting story told through the POVs of disparate strangers on the Orange Line train whose lives somewhat intersect. Would recommend.
Thank you to Jody Wenner and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.
