All these winding roads lead to one place, on one summer’s night, by which time readers will feel very much part of the Mure community, and these big occasions. Such as: Even your best friend in the world will never call out someone being brutally unkind to you. And seeing people habitually abusing their partners in public (Jan to Charlie) will not prompt anyone to intervene in any way. Maar hallo, dit boek wordt neergezet als het laatste deel, maar dat kan echt niet hoor. Ja, het is een fijne afsluiter, maar ik ben met vragen achtergebleven. Ik wil meer weten, ik wil nog meer en nog een keer met deze personages meeleven. Vooral het einde van twee personages (sorry, dit kan ik niet prijsgeven zonder te spoilen, maar DM me maar als je het gelezen hebt) vond ik echt niet bevredigend. I WANT MORE! Dus hopelijk komt Colgan toch nog terug op haar beslissing en komt er gewoon nog een 6e deel (of in ieder geval een novelle). But I am convinced that can't really be where some of these characters stories end, one in particular I would love to see more of, even in a spin off, as it's the characters that have taken a spot in my heart since their first introduction.

With no fewer than three weddings on the cards, An Island Wedding, the fifth novel in the series, offers dedicated fans a prime seat at the top table. But fear not if this is your first visit to Mure Island – the book begins with a funny reprise to welcome readers into its world, “ whether you’ve just joined us (welcome!) or whether you have just finished reading all the others”.

Jenny Colgan Press Reviews

Na vier delen kan het soms best wel lastig zijn om weer iets nieuws te bedenken, zeker als je ook andere series in dezelfde sfeer schrijft. Maar Jenny Colgan krijgt het gewoon voor elkaar om elke keer weer een nieuwe twist en een originele draai aan het verhaal te geven. Natuurlijk is niet alles nieuw, maar het blijft spannend en origineel genoeg om je de hele tijd hooked te laten zijn. Ik vind vooral de verhaallijn van Saif en Lorna echt heel erg tof en die stukjes heb ik vooral verslonden.

Genres: Fiction / Friendship, Fiction / Romance / Contemporary, Fiction / Small Town & Rural, Fiction / Women Such as: People who live and love outside the norm don't get the happy ending (this goes for Lorna, who apparently must never be forgiven for being an independent woman living alone, and Fintan, and both their relationships). Joel is very angry. He and Flora don't talk and finally she says they can postpone the wedding and tell everyone they are waiting until their child Douglas can walk down the aisle. He is not walking yet. Olivia and Anthony are planning A Very Extravagant Wedding at the newest hotel on the tiny Scottish island of Mure. They’re flying in chefs, musicians and something called a living flower wall… and no one is even allowed to think the word bridezilla.Three couples. One midsummer's night. Can everyone get their happy ever after? About This Edition ISBN: Agot is at her bossy best and I loved seeing a bit of development from her, and we get to see a bit more of Jan which was interesting. An unforgettable setting, quirky characters and food for thought are all guaranteed in Sunrise by the Sea. BookReporter.com I wake early, mess about on the internet, get the kids to school, walk the dogs, then settle down with a big sandwich about 11am and plough on through till the afternoon. 2000-2500 words depending on where I am on the schedule. I like to take one of the dogs to a coffee shop. One is well-behaved and one is naughty so the good one gets a lot more outings.

The island and village are well described and it’s just such a nice escape to visit the island and interact with all these fun characters.This is everything I could have wanted from a Jenny Colgan book, it's warm, it has emotion, its funny, its romantic and its downright brilliant. They’re places I know well and absolutely love and I really hope that comes across to the reader. When people get in touch and tell me it feels like they’re there when they read me, that’s a huge compliment. I change the names of towns, though, people hate it if you write about their town and get even a tiny thing wrong!
