A feel good book quite reminiscent of A Man Called Ove, Eleanor Oliphant, or The Book List. Iona takes a train every single day and when she uncharacteristically interacts with another regular on the train it sets off a chain of events that leads to all of their lives improving. Even though it was a bit predictable, I sincerely enjoyed the narration and wanted to see how things turned out for everyone.
