About this listen

What if you almost missed the love of your life?

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?

So begins a not-quite-romance of near misses, true love and the power of the written word.

Includes a bonus Q&A between Laura Jane Williams and Carrie Hope Fletcher.

A No.1 e-book best seller, this wonderful will-they-won’t-they romance is perfect for those who loved Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare and Mhairi McFarlane’s If I Never Met You.

Critic Reviews

"LJ’s honesty and style are unique." (Stylist)

"A fresh, smart, modern rom com. This is romance seen through the wry eyes of a cynic, and that's what makes it so special – and, ultimately, so uplifting. It had me totally gripped." (Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare)

"Our Stop is everything I didn't know I needed in a book. Laura Jane Williams’ writing SEES you, and gives you so much. This is exactly the joyful escapism you need...." (Lucy Vine, author of Are We Nearly There Yet?)

This was such a good book. It was refreshing, inspiring and had the right amounts of burst out loud laughing funny moments, which can be embarrassing in a very quiet office of 30.

I normally do not read from this genre but thought I'd try it at the discounted price.
Early in the piece I almost put it aside but came to a spot that drew me in and I enjoyed the ending.

Amusing

Predictable, yet still very enjoyable and funny. Great characters, relatable, lots of LOL moments. Would recommend!

I liked it a lot, light and different, characters just like a girl wants in her life particularly after ‘awful Ben’ - a relationship with a narcissist.

Fun

I thought this would be warm and enjoyable...a bit like The Flat Share. However I found the story … cheesy. It was unexciting, frustrating at parts (spoiler: the couple genuinely do not meet until the very end) and I found that there were a lot of plot points that were glossed over, rather than being correctly digested. The fact that the main character has her friends completely isolate her and does not feel in the least annoyed? Or the fact that none of them feel the need to communicate this? It just rings a little false and made me believe in this story even less.
The male protagonist does not once have a fault pointed out. If anything, he is 'too sensitive' which I hardly think is considered a fault in 2019. He was very 'perfect' which in honesty was a bit of an eye roll.

I just found this novel to be 'another chick lit that you pick up at the airport and throw away at the other end'. It's not BAD, but I likely will never think of it again after this. It's not deeply meaningful, nor is it poignant in relatable way. It's just...fluffy. Lacking substance, perhaps. Even the epilogue (sue me for saying so, but it's the worst part of the whole novel...should have been left out) which trawls on and on about the main characters and their deep concern for humanity (because being good looking, witty, successful and popular is not enough) seemed completely shallow. It just wasn't believable. It was 'too perfect'. I felt that it was tacked on the end of a shallow story (nothing wrong with a shallow story, just don't expect a Pulitzer) in an attempt to remind the reader (again) of how wonderful and 'realistic' these characters are.

All in all; if you're looking for a quick and easy read while you're trying to ignore crying babies and a snoring passenger behind you while you embark on an eight hour flight, this is fine. Not the best; but it'll do. You won't die of boredom.

Really Quite Cheesy

It took 6 hours into the book to finally meet, too contrived and forced, however, some parts of the book are funny and entertaining. Sped up the listening by using 1.25 speed and finally got to the end. If it was a shorter book and the story line was more compact would have been much more enjoyable.

A bit contrived but some are entertaining

Was a different love story to what I usually read and loved it, refreshing take on a genre that can get mushy.

Great love story

Loved everything about this book. A great read about love the way it used to be with a modern twist. A great book about friendships and good old fashion morals etc. Yep loved it!
