‘Joyful, romantic and life-affirming.’ Red Magazine
‘It had me totally gripped.’ Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare
‘A love story that is guaranteed to make you smile.’ Closer
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.
A #1 ebook bestseller, 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Laura Jane Williams' sweet, relatable and very funny romance is the sort of book that'll make you miss your bust stop. Our would-be star-crossed lovers are Nadia and Daniel—bound together by their shared commute but kept apart by bad luck, circumstance and some very comedic near-misses. Williams has a terrific ability to paint wonderfully likeable characters, and you’ll be willing the two of them on as they stumble, stagger and slip towards true love.
Customer Reviews
Sweet & funny
Enjoyable, fun read. What I liked the most was the interactions between the main characters towards the end. Excellent character descriptions. The author transported me to the tube in London! A bit of a shame that it was left until so late though. I would have liked to see their relationship develop.
Funny and thoughful
I really enjoyed this well written story. The characters are believable and have a depth you don’t usually find. I found it funny and thought provoking. Well worth the read.
I skipped 200 pages and didn’t miss a thing!
Feels like this was written by a 14yo girl. It’s clumsy, cliched and just generally silly. I literally skipped half the book and feel like I got the whole story still.
The entire book is basically filler with no substance whatsoever. Not even fun to read as it’s soo predictable.
