Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the bestselling author of The Authenticity Project comes a brand-new uplifting and feel-good novel that everyone is falling in love with...
Nobody speaks to strangers on the train. But what would happen if they did?
Every day at 8:05, Iona Iverson boards the train to go to work. Every day, she sees the same people and makes assumptions about them, even giving them nicknames. But they never speak. Obviously.
Then, one morning, Smart-but-Sexist-Surbiton chokes on a grape right in front of Iona. Suspiciously-Nice-New Malden steps up to help and saves his life, and this one event sparks a chain reaction.
With nothing in common but their commute, an eclectic group of people learn that their assumptions about each other don't match reality. But when Iona's life begins to fall apart, will her new friends be there when she needs them most?

Cheesy but Lovely.
A fabulous easy listen and even maybe a little predictable. Who doesn’t need some cheese in their life?

Real characters, a twist on the experiences of everyday life, great story.
Characters were enjoyable and great to follow. They represent those we meet in everyday life and with each character and their challenges told through a wider story formed around a group that travel by train. A book (audio version) that made my journey to work a pleasant one.
Anxieties and bullying, self confidence, loathing, relationships, mental health and challenges, all addressed very well and slotted into the story in a clever and balanced way.
Thoroughly enjoyable. An easy read and listen. Looking forward to more from the same author.

The nature of humans
I loved the concept of people oddly connecting on their daily commute. I loved the characters, it's a light listen, refreshing & uplifting. Very enjoyable . The narrator performed the characters voices well.
Good for people who are interested in people 👍🏼
