Review
A little bit of swoon is just what I needed. The Subway Girl is a cute, fun romcom that will give you a little bit of everything to make you hold on for the ride.
Have you ever experienced love at first sight? Well, for some it might drive them to take some drastic action just for the possibility of what if. If you are lucky for it to happen by a guy like Ryan, than you know you’ve definitely met your Prince Charming. Well, that is once you realize he’s not a stalker.
Meet our hopeless romantic Ryan. His character is so lovable. Forget all your book boyfriends because he’s definitely the one for every and any gal. Ryan is your typical everyday day Joe. While riding the subway one day, he spots what he thinks is his soulmate, his forever girl. She is aka “the subway girl.” When he realizes that her stop os approaching, he does everything he could but loses her among the crowd. Not knowing what to do, he decides to pursue a search, in hopes to find her. Teaming up with a local reporter, they promote a search in the hope to find this mystery girl. What he finds is that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and in his case, when it comes to love, sometimes fate can take a detour.
Then we have Angie. She isn’t the biggest cheerleader of love or guys at the moment, so when Ryan comes to her about finding this subway girl, she isn’t so thrilled but takes on the job. Deep down, assuming this will lead to nowhere, finds herself drawn into more than the story. As Ryan and Angie find themselves bonding along the way, they both find something unexpected. Will it be everything that he hoped for or did fate have other plans?
I’m not going to ruin it for you but there are some unexpected twists that will give a little angst but from then on, this will be one that you’ll not want to put down.
Overall, I really liked the book. The plot was really interesting especially from the point of view of the reality show aspect of it. It was as if you were following the story as it was happening and had to know what was going to happen. The characters were great especially the chemistry between Ryan and Angie. I found most of their moments pure LOL. Not just them but individual of each other, the relationships they had with their friends was equally wonderful.This is one to add to the tbr list.
