The Day We Meet Again by Miranda Dickinson

2.0

I really liked the initial premise of this book, which was two people having a love-at-first-sight moment in a train station and realizing that the other may very well be the person they’re meant to spend the rest of their life with. But their trains are going in opposite directions, so they agree to meet back at the same station a year later if they still want to be together. Unfortunately what follows is utter fluff, and not a lot of conflict (unless you count the main characters frustrating and nonsensical anxiety that has her delay the couple’s reunion for the last third of the book). I struggled to connect with the characters and the plot was simply disappointing. I expected some conflict, some wandering throughout the couples year apart, but they communicated through text and phone calls almost every week. So their reunion was just slow, and drawn out. Not in a way that added tension or delayed gratification of any sort, but unfortunately in a way that made the story boring.
