#BlogTour: Maybe This Time by Jill Mansell @JillMansell @annecater @headlinepg #MaybeThisTime #RandomThingsTours

Book Synopsis:

The uplifting new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. The perfect read for fans of Lucy Diamond and Katie Fforde.

Mimi isn’t looking for love when she spends a weekend in Goosebrook, the Cotswolds village her dad has moved to. And her first encounter with Cal, who lives there too, is nothing like a scene in a romantic movie – although she can’t help noticing how charismatic he is. But Cal’s in no position to be any more than a friend, and Mimi heads back to her busy London life.

When they meet again four years later, it’s still not to be. Cal is focusing on his family, and Mimi on her career. Then Cal dives into a potentially perfect new romance whilst Mimi’s busy fixing other people’s relationships.

It seems as if something, or someone else, always gets in their way. Will it ever be the right time for both of them?

Maybe This Time is published on the 24th January in ebook and hardback. You can pre-order your copy of either using the link below.

My Review:

Maybe This Time is another wonderful, heart warming gem from one of my favourite writers!

The setting of GooseBrook was fantastically described and I found myself wishing that I lived there myself. There were a great variety of characters and the village seemed so friendly that I could not help but be drawn into the story. My favourite characters were Mimi’s dad and boyfriend who were just wonderful and made me smile. I didn’t initially like the main character Mimi as she grated on me a bit with her ditsyness. However I soon found myself warming to her and I did enjoy reading about her story, wanting her to have the happy ending I felt she deserved.

For most of the book this is quite a light hearted read and a classic tale of boy meets girl which was interesting to read about. However there is a twist that gives the book a serious edge and which the author handles with great skill. Without trying to give to much away the author had clearly done her research on the subject and the scenario seemed very realistic.

I’ve read most of Jill’s book and I think she just keeps getting better and better. I’m so excited to read more from her in the future.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book.
