It's feel-good, heartwarming, and refreshing story. It follows a story of friendship, love, happiness, kindness, empathy, understanding, mental health, loneliness, and the power of any relationship. The author's writing is simple and engaging. The protagonist is Ioana Iverson (who is an old lady with her dog), who leaves everyday to board the train at 8.05 to go to work. She is a celebrity journalist. Platform 5 is the place where the protagonist meets various characters. These characters don't interact with each other, though they meet everyday. One day, Piers (commuter) chokes on a grape and Sanjay (commuter) helps him and that breaks the silence and starts with the interactions of the commuters on the same train. Every person is different and unique and also these people are facing different situations (good, best bad and worst). The author has described each and every situation and characters very beautifully. The novel emphasizes the value of looking beyond first impressions and the potential for connection in everyday encounters. I loved the character development and the happy ending. It will make you smile, laugh, cry.
