oxfordcommas991's review against another edition
3.0
This was a delightful little book about the magic of chance encounters, New York City, and life when you stop trying to control it all.
This feels like a classic 90’s romcom, with a silly meet cute, two people who couldn’t be more different, and lives that keep bringing them back together even though they’re convinced they’re not a good match.
I enjoyed this light read that took us into the lives of Hayes, an emotionally buttoned up finance dude working in environmental sustainability, and Franny, a spunky and creative interior designer. They meet one day on the subway, during one of the worst days of Franny’s life, and a stranger posts their meeting on social media, deeming them #SubwayQT’s.
I enjoyed how original and creative the plot is on this one - and the author does a lovely job crafting the characters of not just Franny and Hayes, but also all the wonderful people in their lives who love them and want them to be happy. It was an easy, enjoyable read and I’d recommend it to anyone who spends their weekends rewatching “you’ve got mail.”

The book was a nice in-between read. The plot started off pretty well, however further developement was very obvious. There were no real plot twists, which I would have liked. The writing style is okay, nothing particularly stood out to me. A nice, quick read that does not require a lot of thinking or attention necessarily.

It has its ups and downs. Some parts are great and immerse you in the story then others are boring and make you not want to continue.
