*Many thanks to Avon Books UK and Netgalley for the advance copy in return for an honest review*I was really excited about this book. The synopsis sounded really cute, Nadia sees a post in the local 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?"She realises it is about her and so begins the story...It was cute, funny and sweet, and parts of it did make me smile. I would say that you would really enjoy this if you l...
If you follow *ANY* UK instagrammers you cannot help but have seen the fluorescent cover of ‘Our Stop’ being waved at the camera in multiple boomerangs. The author has developed an audience via Instagram, and I count myself among that population. Having read her previous two non-fiction efforts I was curious about her first novel and was willing to take a chance on a book outside of my usual reading genres. The number of glowing reviews it had already received from the aforementioned instagramme...
3.5 starsOur Stop is a fun rom-com story about Daniel who has a massive crush on Nadia. Daniel keeps seeing Nadia on his 7.30am Northern Line tube on the way to work but he's too shy to approach her. To grab her attention, he decides to leave her a message in a London newspaper in the 'Missed Connections' section. Nadia is intrigued and keen to know who the mysterious Train Guy is. The two exchange a few messages in the paper, but unfortunately things don't go as planned and Nadia and Daniel kee...
So, I did like this a little more than I thought I would. A little….And ONLY because the humor wasn’t as crass as the beginning chapters were!It did end really cute and charming and that was all fine and nice. But, holy mackerel, can we stop with the period jokes?!?! Come on! There are so many funny and interesting things in the world that we don’t have to resort to middle school humor! Argggghh!!! Nadia was iffy…..I didn’t fully connect with her because I felt she was incredibly immature for he...
I received a copy from Harper Collins Canada in exchange for a honest review. Our Stop is definitely going to be one of those books where you absolutely hate it or love it. It gets really frustrating a lot of the times because it plays on the idea of fate. The idea that if you miss one beat or second, you might miss the love of your life. Surprisingly, I was not annoyed at this story even though in the end, I kept slapping my forehead and kept screaming WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CAN'T YOU GUYS
2.5 starsThis was a cute and humorous novel that resembles what can often be seen in a romantic comedy on screen. However, the premise surrounding the originating story makes it difficult for me to get behind this novel. I am all for unrealistic romance comedies and "meet cutes". But this plot line originates from this male main character overhearing the female main character (who's also coincidentally young and attractive) in a conversation and being interested in her from what she's saying. Fr...
DNF at 10%I am not the right demographic for this book. This ROM COM may be a better match for those in their twenties? 🤷🏻♀️(There are positive reviews...)I found the writing to be VULGAR and the HUMOR to be very over the top. SPOILERS: “The most memorable bloke was Period Pete, a friend of a friend, who liked performing oral sex on menstruating women, and who the three (of us) collectively decided must have an undiagnosed iron deficiency.” Need I say more?
A sweet funny story of perpetually late, disorganised, honest and kind-hearted Nadia and shy, all-round-good, romantic Daniel.Nadia has just come out of a really bad relationship and feels she needs to change her lifestyle and daily routine to make it calmer, healthier, more organised. One of the changes in her routine is making sure she does get on that 7.30 am train to work. And so she does..on Monday, sometimes even Tuesday. Then life creeps in, late nights with friends, Netflix, too much win...
4.5 starsI really enjoyed this light and witty RomCom.Twenty-nine year old Nadia has had a few hard relationships and is disillusioned with love. Will she ever find her perfect guy? Her life was a bit of a muddle but she had a new plan and she will become a beacon of organisation and the rest will fall in place.On the first day of her new plan she sees an advert in the ‘Love Connections’ column in the paper talking about “the cute blonde girl on the 7:30 train.” Could this be her?Daniel is a rom...
This book is fab! Like the ice lolly, all different bits but altogether is just perfect!!Nadia and Daniel, Daniel and Nadia, sigh, destined for each other.....but can they ever meet, through an advert Daniel places in ‘Missed Connections’ after he sees Nadia on the tube the book whirls you through a rom com of a story as they write back to each other but because of events keep missing each other....its a new and extremely up to the minute ( 2019 wise ) take on an old theme AND its done so well,
| | blog | tumblr | ko-fi | |While Our Stop may have made me smile, once or twice, it mostly frustrated the living daylights out of me.Our Stop implements a similar gimmick as quite a few other romances: from new book releases such as The Flatshare—where the two leads develop feelings for one another through post-it notes—to the classic You've Got Mail...In Our Stop Nadia and Felix develop romantic feelings for each other by carrying a sort of conversation, if not flirtation, in the Missed Con...
The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.3.75 StarsFull review hereOur stop is a very sweet modern romance. If you’ve ever been on the London tube you definitely can relate to Daniel. We’ve all been there, we’ve all seen a nice person and fantasize a little bit about it. I just want to warn you and say that this book definitely portrays a slow-burn romance. At times it can be infuriating because of all the missed chances at meeting Danie
3.5 - fun read, got very frustrated in the middle and then didn't get to see enough of them together! Perfectly enjoyable, not overly special
[ARC from Avon Books via NetGalley] There is a lovely story somewhere in this book, but it took a lot of motivation (and quite a bit of skimming) to get through to it. I think most of the issues could be solved with editing, though. There are still quite a lot of typos in the ARC manuscript, for example, that I’m sure could amended before publication. But I also frequently felt the need for a stronger editing, particularly when the characters’ inner dialogue got too long and repetitive.Some othe...
*minor spoilers*- they didn't meet until about 80% of the way through the book- Daniel is the most white bread boring ass character I have ever read- the guy Nadia dates that is included in maybe 4 chapters was more interesting & appealing than him- Daniel was given virtually no character traits other than having a dad who died & having a shit roommate- Nadia was given virtually no character traits other than being in an abusive relationship & having 2 friends- situations are constantly written
Thoroughly enjoyed this one - a really great, readable, fun, funny rom com, with a lovely premise.
This book makes me want to hop on the tube and find my soulmate, but unfortunately, Saskatoon does not have a “tube”, so I’ll have to settle for reading cute meet cutes instead of experiencing them. Plot Our Stop has only 3.7 stars on Goodreads, which shocked me. I’m giving this book 5 stars. It’s cute, witty, and actually had some genuinely hilarious scenes. I literally laughed so hard at one part that tears streamed down my face (the part where Daniel is attempting to flirt with some stran...
