Publisher's 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?

A cute story with strangers learning from each other in unexpected ways

A cute story with strangers learning from each other in unexpected ways. A remotely plausible plot, interesting, evolved characters and enough twists to keep the reader engaged. Recommended for a quick, relatively light read or well executed audible listen. 3.75 rounded up.
