I really enjoyed The Last Train Home. It was an easygoing, cute read that made me feel all warm and cosy the more I read. Abbie and Tom are great main characters and Elle tells the story from both points of view, flipping from one to the other.
Meeting on a train late one evening, their lives are thrown together in the worst way possible and from there, things get better, then worse, then better again with loads of life-changing events happening to both of them over the next seven years.
I loved all the characters - most of the time - in this book. Teddy made me laugh and Natasha is just the perfect best friend to have. A book about bad timing, and historical events that actually happened, but mostly it’s about love and romance and how everything will always work out in the end.
If you love well-written contemporary fiction, with some curve balls thrown in, then I’d recommend adding this book to your TBR.
Thank you to Penguin Random House UK and Century Books for the opportunity to read and review The Last Train Home by Elle Cook.
About the Book
On the last train home you expect to find standing space only, drunk people singing, the overpowering smell of McDonalds...
You never expect to find love.
When Abbie and Tom cross paths traveling home after a night out, their eyes meet across a crowded carriage and their connection is unmistakable.
What they don't know is that moments later they will both be caught up in an event that will change them forever.
It's one that will bring them together. But it will also tear them apart.
A lot can happen in seven seconds. A lot can happen in seven years.
Can they find their way back to each other?
Gorgeously romantic and swoon-worthy, this is the next unputdownable, will-they-won't-they love story from Elle Cook.
About Elle
Elle is a former journalist and PR who now writes novels under two different names.
Lorna Cook is her historical fiction name where she writes novels filled with romance, intrigue, secrets and history and under the name Elle Cook she writes contemporary romance / women’s fiction. She lives in coastal Essex with her husband and their two daughters. When Elle/Lorna isn't making up stories and characters, she can usually be found with a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in the other. It makes it tricky to turn the pages. Her favourite authors are Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley, Liz Fenwick, Jenny Ashcroft, Iona Grey and Holly Miller. She will even put the wine down to read anything by these fantastic writers!
Lorna's debut novel The Forgotten Village sold over 150,000 copies and was a Kindle Number 1 bestseller for over a fortnight. It spent four months in the Kindle Top 100, has eleven overseas/foreign language editions, won the Romantic Novelists' Association Katie Fforde Debut Romantic Novel of the Year Award and the RNA Joan Hessayon Award for New Writers.
