Nobody ever talks to strangers on the train. It's a rule. But what would happen if they did? Every day Iona Iverson travels to work by train. Every day she sees the same people, making assumptions about them, and 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. Sanjay, a nurse, steps up to help and saves his life. This single event starts a chain reaction, and an eclectic group of people, with almost nothing in common except their commute, discover that talking to strangers on the train might be uncomfortable and awkward, but it can challenge all of their assumptions and prejudices, and could even transform their life.

4.5 stars!
Another uplifting story! This was so much fun to read and the characters were all so well written and fun to journey with on the train. I liked parts of all of them and even found parts of me in all of them.
So glad the second book by the author was just as good as the first one
Having read The Authenticity Project by Clare, I was really excited about reading this. I was worried about it living up to the high standards set by The Authenticity Project, but I need not have because it did and then some!
There was once again a wonderful cast of characters, although my favourite by far was Iona! Honestly, everyone needs an Iona in their lives! I loved how they all went from strangers to friends, who were there to support each other.
I definitely wish I could read more about Iona, Sanjay and the rest.
Thank you to PH and Clare Pooley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book.
I couldn't recommend it highly enough!
