Summary: One winter day in London, an aspiring writer named Laurie looked up from her bus seat and saw a gentleman outside. They locked eyes, Laurie felt an undeniable spark, and the man moved toward the bus. It was too late - the bus sped away, leaving Laurie wondering what could’ve been. Time passed until “bus boy” is reintroduced to Laurie’s life…as her roommate’s new boyfriend.
Takeaways: So much of our lives depend on the right place and the right time. This book illustrates that meeting people (whether a best friend, a life partner, or a coincidental hometown neighbor you encountered on a faraway vacation) comes down to serendipity. The story had a cool premise, but I wanted more in terms of character and conflict development.
