Book Review – Our Stop ~ Laura Jane Williams
What if you almost missed the love of your life? Nadia gets the 07.30 train every morning without fail. Well, except if she oversleeps or wakes up at her friend Emma’s after too much wine.

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