Review | Eleven Lines To Somewhere by Alyson Rudd

Blurb

In a world of what-ifs, a connection has been made …

When Ryan spots a young woman on the tube on his commute, he can’t take his eyes off her. Instantly attracted and intrigued, he’s keen to find out more about his mysterious fellow passenger.

The woman he thinks of as Millie spends all day travelling the Underground, unable to leave for reasons unbeknownst to Ryan. For some inexplicable reason, he just can’t shake the feeling he wants to help her escape her endless commute.

Review

An emotional, beautifully written story.

Rudd's unique writing style is captivating and poignant. I loved the symbolism of intersections,  overlapping of the underground lines, and that of the lives of the characters in this novel. 

This novel has love, loss & relationships at its heart. It delicately deals with various forms and the effects it has on all the lives around you. The scene with Ryan and his Grandfather was incredibly heartfelt.

It just missed out on 5⭐ because I felt the ending was a bit sudden. 

Overall, an enjoyable, poignant read with relatable characters. One to be considered and thought about, rather than devoured quickly. 

A huge thanks to HQ Stories & NetGalley for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
