Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I loved this book. I was invested in Abbie and Tom's story and cared about the characters. It was well-paced and the supporting characters were also engaging and well-written.

This book will be released in November however I think it could be both an amazing by the pool summer read and a cosy by the fire winter read.

Abbie and Tom meet on a tube in 2005 and little did they know that this journey would change their lives. The tube de-rails and Tom helps Abbie leave the wreck left behind (luckily she doesn’t remember much) which leads to a friendship between the two of them.

This book follows Tom and Abbie both living in London from 2005 to 2012 and the ups and downs of their life and the affects after the tube derailment.

Romance, annoyance at the main characters and humour what more could you want from this book. Elle cook I need to get more of your books ASAP!

Wowee- I couldn’t put this one down, sneaking a quick read (and also good long reads) whenever I could. The main characters were brilliant and made me keep turning the pages. Frustrating, emotional- happy and sad. It’s a big recommendation from me.

In 2005 two tipsy people are chatting on the late night tube in London, then the unthinkable happens, the train derails and many are injured. Tom, an investment analyst for a merchant bank in the City helps Abbie, a retail journalist, off the train and to safety.

What happened that night creates a bond between the two of them, a friendship turned star-crossed lovers as they discover they have so much in common - even working in office buildings opposite each other. But every time they get close something happens to tear them apart. Are they fated to be together or is this a case of never to be?

I loved this. I loved a trip down memory lane to the recent past, memories of the London bombings (ONG I remember that so clearly), London winning the bid for the Olympics, the financial crash, all brought to life as Abbie and Tom's lives swirl around intersecting only to twirl away again.

It sort of reminded me of the film Sliding Doors, even though there wasn't that much in common, maybe that vibe of coulda, shoulda, woulda, or perhaps more prosaically it is that Abbie only just caught that tube, a few seconds later and she would have missed it and never met Tom that night.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I loved the author's previous novel, The Man I Never Met, and I think I enjoyed The Last Train Home even more.
It follows the story of Abbie and Tom over seven years, after they meet on the last tube home, a meeting that has huge consequences for them both.
This is an absolutely gorgeous and beautifully written warm hearted novel and a superior example of this genre. I loved the characters of Abbie and Tom and was rooting for them both throughout. I loved the setting and how the author brought each year to life. I was bereft when I finished this wonderful novel and just wanted to read more about Abbie and Tom.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

I absolutely loved this book! It had me enthralled from the very beginning. It starts in 2005 as the 2 main characters meet in a chance encounter and we follow their stories over the following years. I loved the inclusion of real life events - the Wimbledon final between Nadal and Federer in 2008, the Olympics & Boris bikes! It is a really great read and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Such a unique book, I loved the plot, and oh my god the characters were so amazing!! I definitely will be recommending it!!

A really lovely story about second chance love. About where life takes you after an event happens that changes your life and how you are brought back together when destiny decides it's time.
