Our Stop
by Laura Jane Williams
Sooooo....this was a bit like reading Sleepless In Seattle in book form. Which is fine, but the leads don't actually meet or connect until the final chapter. This is much more fun to watch on a screen in film form, but in book form it seems too long and drawn out. Yes, their back stories and repeated almost meetings are interesting and fun, but I was longing for more of the two of them together. It feels like a romance and yet kind of not. They never even communicate over email or text, like other similar romances.
The premise is super sweet. Daniel keeps spotting Nadia in his neighborhood and on the Tube. He can't get up the nerve to approach her since it seems creepy. So, instead, he puts an ad in the Missed Connections section of the newspaper, hoping she will see it. She does and the rest of the story is their attempts to connect with each other while never knowing the other's full name or personal details.
Daniel is the ultimate good-guy hero. Nothing grossly Alpha about him. He is sweet and caring (if a little too shy for my liking). While Nadia is a funny and completely relatable female lead who you absolutely adore as the book goes on.
In the end it was just too little CONNECTION for me. We know who they are so well by book's end, but we don't know who they are TOGETHER. The book is well written and engaging, but ultimately fell short on the romance for me.
