Meet Me on Platform 3

About the book...
Two people. One journey…
Millie loves her city life, her city friends and writing her true(ish) confessions column – but she’s starting to wonder if the grass really is greener on the other side, or if her heart really belongs back in Northumberland, with her mum who is struggling after the death of Millie’s dad.
Joe is happy doing what he does, writing games. He could do it anywhere, but since leaving home he’s lived believing that looking back means you’ve failed, and life is about taking chances and seeing the world.
So when the two meet up surely it can never work, their lives are moving in opposite directions. On different tracks…

I love the title. I adore the cover. I was captured by the synopsis...
...and the story within did not disappoint!
When first we meet Millie, her life is on a downward swing...or so she thinks. Her career is on edge, her mom has her worried, and her love life is simply not there. When a random series of events unfolds, leaving her doused in more than rainwater, her heart is finally in the game. But how to balance things when there are so many unknowns? It's easy enough to say call him or email him, but when the moment struck her so hard, it blasted the retort right out of her, it also wiped her mind of the practicalities of communication, both now and future, leaving her heart lonely for someone she didn't even know.
When we first meet Joe, he's making a mess of things...or so he thinks. His career is more stable, but categorically boring. His family life is there, but the next generation isn't even a gleam in his loved one's eyes because there IS no loved one to share things with. His heart has taken a beating, so love is the last thing on his mind...UNTIL the big meet cute. To say Cupid had aimed true would be an understatement because as much as he drenched her and almost knocked her out (and not just with his good looks!), he was struck with the unfathomable instant understanding of what people feel when they say they've met "the one". However, his powers of communication don't work over non-existent means either, and without a phone number or email address, he's at a loss...lovelorn for someone he doesn't even know.
These two lost hearts find something magical when once again they meet, but the road to happily ever after never did run perfectly smooth. There are pitfalls to finding each other, misunderstandings to overcome, and revelations that need as much explaining as they do an open mind...and that's before we bring Johnny Q Public into the mix! How so? Oh, I failed to mention her job...think Carrie Bradshaw but more PG-13...and how art can imitate life, or in this case her life can make it into her job, and into the columns of the publication in which she's printed. EEK! That's a secret that I bet you can see going over easy...or NOT...and the aftershocks from that little beauty reverberate far and wide. Can they overcome their preconceived notions and personal pasts to reach for a future that could be spectacular...or will someone be left standing on platform 3? You'll have to read it to find out!
