Publisher Description
‘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
Entertaining and original
I had not so many expectations but having read another book by Laura, Just for December and actually having finished it, I decided to give it a go. It’s actually quite sweet and funny Ron-com of missing connections and looking for love. Not just for February!
Great!!!
What a sweet story, loved it.
Amazing!!
The first summer read is always a special one and I thoroughly enjoyed this one!! Such a modern love story yet traditional, veering away from the likes of tinder and other dating sites. Would read again.
