pickThis was cute! It dragged a bit in the middle but Williams did a great job of keeping the story interesting and finding fun ways for Daniel and Nadia to keep missing each other.

pickNadia catches the same train every morning for work. Daniel gets the same train and spots Nadia. Missed Connections is a newspaper section where Londoners can write messages about people they‘ve seen. So, a relationship begins involving the power of word.
A great range of secondary characters are included too. Some of the chapters did feel slow but I liked how each chapter went from Nadia‘s perspective to Daniel‘s take on events.
While the resolution was lackluster imo, the build-up, let-downs, and almosts made me giddy. Wishing I was on a beach somewhere to read this one. I didn‘t feel extremely connected to the characters personally. It felt like they had no flaws, making them unattainable characters for me.
panOh dear. What a mess this one was. You shouldn‘t really be able to go wrong with the You‘ve Got Mail style rom-com plot, and yet this goes wrong in so many ways - the lack of any kind of exploration into Nadia‘s work, which is a mere plot device, the shoe-horning in of various hot social commentary topics which stick out like a sore thumb and break the flow of the story, the completely worthless epilogue. Overall, a huge disappointment.
pickYesterday I actually finished some books!! My poor husband had to work late, but the silver lining for ME was an entire evening of reading! 😂
I'm having trouble rating this book, so it's a pick with reservations. The actual story is delightful and fun, with likable main characters. The parts where they would just miss each other felt natural and entertaining instead of annoying or forced. However, in some ways it felt like someone proofread ⬇️

pickI read past my bedtime... is a pretty good recommendation! I enjoyed this but it‘s all anticipation - our lead characters come oh so close to meeting but just missing each other BY THAT MUCH (as Maxwell Smart would say) for almost the entire book... Excellent side characters ☺️ would read this author again.
pickCute contemporary romance.
They meet on the Tube, but hav never talked. Daniel musters the courage to run an ad in the "Missed Connections" section of the paper. Nadia loves this section of the paper, but needs convincing that this ad is actually for her.
Cue some more missed connections and a few detours until the HEA.
Believable plot and characters!
Another #NetGalley #ARC from ages ago.

pickA great book with developed characters, a diverse range of relationships, and lots of feminism too. There are quite a few annoying little spelling/grammar errors, sometimes of main characters names or mistyping is as it which made me lose the flow of reading occasionally, but I don‘t think this by any means takes away from the fact that this is a lovely gentle read by a talented author. I look forward to seeing what Laura Jane Williams does next.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Overall, it was a fairly predictable plot with an expected happy ending, but sometimes that‘s exactly what you need! It was a cute story and a quick read
