DID NOT FINISH: 14%

The story did interest me but some of the langue used I didn’t understand and the way it was written didn’t suite me either.

Oh how I love the people on platform 5! 🥰 This story took me in from the first page and felt like the warmest hug the entire ride. I love all these characters deeply! They feel like family.
I can't say a single bad thing about this book. What a fantastic surprise! Heart warming, touching, fun and relatable!

Very pleasant read. I enjoyed the characters and the way they grew to love each other. Not sure this is one that will "stay with me" though.

4 stars.

This title has been at the top of lots of must read summer titles.

Clever in a way that reminds me of the Vera Wong stories, Iona Iverson is an older wise woman who gathers admirers on her train commute and over the course of the story, impacts all of their lives.

Cheeky, sweet and well written.  I will look for more by this author.
