This was a quick read, and I did genuinely care about the two main characters. However I did feel that a lot of characters fell into stereotypes and the premise is too unbelievable to really get into - who talks to strangers on a london bus?! Especially the long philosophical conversations Nora had with people. It felt like she was written so much older than her character was.
The commentary on how being a black man impacts how the world sees you is important but heavy handed at times.
