A Postcard From Puffin Island by Christie Barlow
Synopsis:
Verity Callaway is running away.
From her job.
From her quiet life in the Midlands.
And most of all from her ex-fiancée…who has just become her newest neighbour.
The plan is hop in her reliable camper van and cross the Channel, headed for a rendezvous with her best friend in Amsterdam to kick off six months of travel. But when Verity stumbles across a decades-old postcard while preparing her cottage for its temporary tenants, her life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself on a ferry to Puffin Island instead.
Verity’s childhood was filled with adventures set on the picturesque island, but she’d always thought her beloved granny had made it all up. Now, knowing the stories and the setting were real, Verity is determined to find the postcard’s sender and uncover the secrets of her grandmother’s past…even if it means setting off a sequence of events that will change not just her own life, but also that of the sleepy island’s close-knit community…

Review:
Christie Barlow came back with a new amazing series set on a lovely island inhabited by a close knit community.
Verity is a well structured woman, she doesn't do things on a whim, she likes her routine but when she breakups with her fiancé she quits her job and decides to go on an unplanned trip with her best friend. For a series of circumstances she found herself on the Puffin Island, where she'll undertsand what to do in her life.
Verity felt disoriented when the life as she had planned disappeared, but she still embarks on a new adventure to solve her family's secret.
I have slowly come to love her, because at times she is unnerving even if her hurt feelings are relatable. At the end I was so glad she found herself and her place in the world on the little island.
A Postcard from Puffin Island was an absolute pleasure to read. It's a quick read that I definitely recommend.
