Synopsis
What if you almost missed the love of your life?
Nadia gets the 07.30 train every morning without fail. Well, except if she oversleeps or wakes up at her friend Emma's after too much wine.
Daniel really does get the 07.30 train every morning, which is easy because he hasn't been able to sleep properly since his Dad died.
One morning, Nadia's eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper:
To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I'm the guy who's always standing near the doors... Drink sometime?
So begins a not-quite-romance of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word.
A wonderfully funny will-they-won't-they romance told with real emotional honesty.
