annarella 's review for:

The People on Platform 5 by Clare Pooley
5.0

I loved the characters in this book, Iona above all, and like how this book deals with the force of friendship and how it can help in everyday life.
A cast of characters that are brought together by an accident while they commute. Different life that are apparently happy and successful even if there's more behind the facade.
I love the style of writing: dry, witty, and able to make you feel for the characters.
Ms Pooley is a talented storyteller and their characters are well developed and relatable.
A life affirming and poignant story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
