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.
