ABOUT THIS BOOK A year after the kiss that brought them together in a snowy train-station doorway, Maya and James are embarking on another journey – this time around the world. The trip starts promisingly, with an opulent and romantic Indian wedding. But as their travels continue, Maya fears that 'love at first sight' might not survive trains, planes and tuk tuks, especially when she realises that what she really wants is a baby. Trouble is, James doesn't feel the same. Meanwhile Maya's best friend Nena is struggling with the reality of being a new parent, little knowing that her friend risks losing the love of her life over her dreams of motherhood. Can Maya and James navigate their different hopes and dreams to stay together? Or is love at first sight just a myth after all... MY REVIEW THE POSTCARD by Zoe Folbigg is an entertaining story with plenty of travel adventures, or misadventures as the case may be, as two people who love each other figure out what they want from the future. Maya and James are really doing it. For one whole year, they will leave all of their worries behind and embark on a travel adventure around the globe that will bring them even closer together. Magical sunsets, cocktails, and relaxation is the order of the day and Maya cannot wait. But what happens when the reality isn't exactly living up to the dream? Coffin boxes on buses, colonic irrigations, and dodgy accommodation seem to be the rule rather than the exception but at least they are together. But the more they travel, the more Maya realises that she wants what her best friend, Nena, has back at home, a beautiful baby and family life, but what if James doesn't want that? Meanwhile back home confident, strong, and independent Nena is struggling to adjust to life as a mom. Stressed, exhausted, and just shocked by the reality of parenting, Nena is a little jealous of Maya living the glamorous travel life. But things have to get better soon, right? THE POSTCARD by Zoe Folbigg is the second book in this series and I have to admit that I did not read the first but overall, this didn't affect my enjoyment of this book. The story is a little slow to start and there are parts of the story mentioning a missing tourist which confused me a little at the beginning, but once Maya and James really jumped into their travelling experience, I was hooked. There are moments that will make you laugh, parts that will make you sniffle, and I enjoyed learning about Nena, and the travelling companions that Maya and James met up with too, as it all added to make this story more than just a love story. THE POSTCARD by Zoe Folbigg is an enjoyable story and I recommend it to fiction fans who love a little bit of everything in their romance reads.

ABOUT THIS BOOK They have the whole summer ahead of them. Is it enough to rekindle the friendship they once shared? Harriet Greenleaf dreams of spending the summer in a beautiful ancient priory on the Somerset coast with her two best friends—but her dream is bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s a chance to reconnect three lives that have drifted apart; on the other, she has a devastating secret to share that will change everything between them forever. First to arrive is Audrey—the workaholic who’s heading for a heart attack unless she slows down and makes time for herself. Then Lisa, the happy-go-lucky flirt who’s always struggled to commit to anyone—or anything. Ever the optimist, can Harriet remind them of the joy in their lives and the importance of celebrating good friendship before it’s gone? Through the highs and lows of a long, glorious summer, these three women will rediscover what it means to be there for each other—before they face the hardest of goodbyes. MY REVIEW A heart-wrenching emotional tale of friendship and the fragility of life, ONE LAST SUMMER by Victoria Connelly is a beautiful story that is sure to make you cry. Harriet Greenleaf knows that the future is never certain and is determined to bring her two closest friends together again, even though they have managed to drift away from each other. Set against a stunning backdrop, these three very different women will reconnect and discover more about themselves as well as each other, and the importance of friendship will shine a light at the darkest of times. The characters, the setting, and the emotional drama of ONE LAST SUMMER blew me away and when I finished reading it (and crying my eyes out), it took me a little while before I could start another book and that is always the sign of a talented author in my book. Compelling, heartbreaking, inspiring and more, ONE LAST SUMMER by Victoria Connelly is a must-read this summer for all fiction fans and I cannot wait to read more from this wonderful author. AUTHOR BIO Victoria Connelly studied English literature at Worcester University, got married in a medieval castle in the Yorkshire Dales and now lives in rural Suffolk with her artist husband, a young springer spaniel and a flock of ex-battery hens. She is the author of two bestselling series, Austen Addicts and The Book Lovers, as well as many other novels and novellas. Her first published novel, Flights of Angels, was made into a film in 2008 by Ziegler Films in Germany. The Runaway Actress was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s Romantic Comedy Novel award. Ms Connelly loves books, films, walking, historic buildings and animals. If she isn’t at her keyboard writing, she can usually be found in her garden, with either a trowel in her hand or a hen on her lap.
