Nadia is stumbling through life. She has a great job and great friends, but she always misses her 7:30 train and has started Her New Routine To Change Her Life more times than she can count. Obsessed with the Missed Connections section in the newspaper, she pours over it everyday... until one day she reads one that sounds like her, right down to the coffee stains on her dress. And so begins a series of back and forth messages that may just lead to a connection, as long as they don't miss their stop...
This book was just okay. I liked the idea of the story but everything just took so long to happen - I mean, they don't even meet until the last couple of chapters! All the near-misses and almost-meetings were fun to start off with but after a while I was like 'come on! Are we meeting or what?' It became a bit tedious.
I also didn't really love Nadia - was it really necessary to mention how much money she makes on like the second page of the book? It had no relevance to the story whatsoever.
I had high hopes for this, but it didn't quite meet my expectations.
