I loved this book. As an English commuter I can totally relate to the need for coffee at train stations in the morning, standing at the same spot on the platform and traveling in the same carriage, its been the story of my life for more years than I care to think about.Dave's favourite colour is plum so its natural he would spot a plum coloured coffee cup sleeve at a thousand paces, then he spots the cute guy holding the cup, and then he wants both the coffee cup sleeve, and the guy.The romance has a slow build up, first with Dave and Tom buying each other coffee, chatting together, then traveling together, until finally they set up a date, only for it all to go wrong at the last minute. With headaches and misunderstandings all around can Dave and Tom finally get it together?Both Tom and Dave are adorable, Dave in particular, as the OCD guy who notices everything. Tom was sweet and came over as slightly unsure which was a nice touch. I don't want to say much more as its a short story but I just wanted to say this book is a joy to read, it left me with a nice warm glow inside. It just goes to show the journey is always as important as the destination, and you never know who you might meet along the way.Sue Brown is a wonderful writer, and Mr Plum is a lovely introduction to her for those of you new to her writing, and a lovely addition to your collection for those of you who have read her books before. Don't miss it.Josie's complete review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=12649 on June 16, 2013
