This is a unique book - it takes place over the period of a week. The book begins on the commuter train going to London. To pass the time Lou has been watching the people around her on the train. She notices a couple who seem to be very connected. He is stroking her hand from time to time. It seems to be a normal trip - and then the man slumps over. His wife, Karen, is screaming for help. Because of this tragedy the train is held up and most of the commuters are in a panic knowing that they will be late to work. Lou is one of those commuters. As she leaves the station she sees a cab and rushes to get in. At the same time there is another woman, Anna, who is entering from the other side. They share the cab into the city. It turns out that Anna is Karen's best friend and thus begins the connection between these three women. This is a book about friends, relationships and life. I thought that the characters were very true-to-life and I enjoyed it a lot.
