Nadia Fielding and her friends love reading the ‘Missed Connections’ column in the morning paper. One day a letter reminds her friends of Nadia, but it can’t be her. Can it?
The morning his letter appears in the paper, Daniel Weissman worries he has made a terrible mistake. Of course his plan for getting Nadia to speak to him won’t work. Will it?
Full of laughter, friendship, and witty takes on modern dating, Our Stop* is a will they won't they story where, like all great rom coms, you know they probably will but the fun is in watching them get there.
Without giving too much away, I do have a little niggle about how one of the subplots was handled. Part of me was all *yay* representation! Another part of me was disappointed by some of the language people used, or rather didn't use, to describe their sexuality. Like, I get it. Sexuality is a spectrum and people get to decide where they fall on that spectrum and how they identify. *raise your hand if you came out in your 20s as bisexual when you were previously out as a lesbian. Oh, that was me!* But it felt like a missed opportunity to explicitly name the largest group within the LGBTQ+ community. It won't stop me recommending the book, but it stuck out so I couldn't not mention it.
