Publisher's Summary

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?)

Really Quite Cheesy

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.

A bit contrived but some are entertaining

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.

Written for adolescents?

I think even adolescents would struggle with what can only be described as a trashy, cheesy, predictable little story. I cannot call it a novel. Amazingly I got to the end...but there was no reward..it was to only hear more about penises, pubic hairs and periods..really? really?

Utterly boring and frustrating

I got half way through this book, it will be four hours I’ll never get back. Frustrating to listen to. Really cheesy and predictable. Would not recommend.

Could Not Stop Listening

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.

Delightful, funny and feminist.

This book is a delight and a wonderful roller coaster of missed chances and fate. Fantastically performed by the two narrators and expertly crafted by Laura Jane Williams. Loved it!!

predictable and in the guise of a feminist novel but fell far too short.

Loved it

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!

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

I'm such a miser with compliments these days. I search endlessly for new authors and good romantic comedies.
Kept me entertained and thoroughly romantic - after all I've had the last cute meet, the last first date in my real-life relationship, so I'm looking for romantic stories to live out more, more, more.
The narrators were both wonderful, especially good.

Couldn’t finish it

Well performed, but boring as bat shit. It just went on and on and ON about stuff I couldn’t care about.
