Today am excited to share with you this fantastic new release from Zoe Folbigg. Thank you to Aria Fiction for inviting me to join the touring for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
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, and James doesn’t feel the same. Can Maya and James navigate their different hopes and dreams to stay together? Or is love at first sight just a myth after all… Perfect for fans of One Day in December, Our Stop and Marian Keyes. The Postcard continues the once-in-a-lifetime love story that readers so took to their hearts.
My Review
I was really excited to read this book and it did not disappoint. I was hooked from the first page to the last and I did not want to put it down.
Maya and James are about to head off on their travels for a year together just the two of them. They have both left their jobs and are looking forward to what lays ahead of them both.
James works a photographer and has been asked to become the forth photographer at a huge wedding for a friend of his in India and this is where they will start their travels. James is hoping to be able to add plenty of photos from their time away to his portfolio and Maya will be writing a travel column while they travel too.
Things start well for the couple as they enjoy the luxurious surrounds around the wedding but their first stop on their travels brings them straight back down to earth.
What follows in their story is the ups and downs of travelling together. Things are not all plain sailing and things begin to unravel slightly for the pair as a lack of communication becomes clear, and there are further problems with the appearance of Maya's Ex.
Will their travelling adventure end in happily ever after or will the travelling see them both go their separate ways.
Alongside the story of Maya and James is the story of Maya's friend Nena and her newborn baby Ava. Nena is struggling with coming to terms with becoming a new mum as it is such a change for her from her life before Ava and she loves her daughter but is struggling with everything that goes with becoming a mum.
There is also another thread to the story with regards to the missing Manon Junot. She has gone missing in Thailand and you get to see her life too.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It really draws you in and keeps you hooked in with all of the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter. The characters within the book are all very relatable and as a parent I did find that I understood the feelings of Nena with her newborn baby.
The way the settings and countries that Maya and James visit are described sound amazing and and such fantastic places to visit.
This book is a sequel to 'The Note' but I did feel like it could be read as a standalone read.
