If you liked Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting, I don't think you'll be disappointed. This felt very similar in tone, and once again you have an eclectic mix of strangers all becoming a found family of friends. I think the characters were a little more flawed here, Ziggy and Art in particular had a lot of growing to do.  This has some similarities to the Thursday Murder Club and also reminded me a little of Call the Midwife. The audiobook narrator was great. I was invested quickly and couldn't put it down.
