Actually this is a good premise for a story. James, who had lost his mediocre job at a publisher company and wife at the same time, felt like his life was worthless and decided to end his life in a train he usually took to his office. Felt like he could do anything for the last time, he braved himself to confront the man who always took the same train with him everyday, the man who got his attention from the first time he set his eyes on him. He decided that he would have Chad company for the one and only chance, but didn't quite decide that Chad also could be his one and only one after that.
I like the flow of the story, their conversation, their chemistry, how the author described them not as a handsome, flawless guys, with James and his slightly bald head and Chad's scarred skin. And that pull my heart, because that was love, really. The story also opened straight to the problem, didn't waste away pages for background story, but it told with the flow of the story, and I quite love that kind of story.
But unfortunately, the plus points was being upped by the fact that the story was rushed. The scenes didn't have the depth that a tearjerker story should have, and though, I love the character, the scenes didn't tug anything in my heart.
