It is fabulous to be taking part in the first day of the blog tour for Zoe May's latest romcom, Flying Duo, especially as it is Publication Day. You can read about the first part in the story here Flying Solo
Can true love go the distance?
London lawyer Rachel Watson has wound up in an Indian ashram
with hippy heartthrob lover, Seb.
A high-achiever, Rachel has always lived life according to
her Life List, ticking off goals along the way. But now that she's in India,
Rachel is going with the flow, or at least trying to...
Rachel's visa is running out and it's time to decide whether
her relationship with Seb is a holiday romance or built to last.
The pair embark on a trip to Nepal for an Everest base camp
trek, but will their relationship survive this gruelling expedition or is it
time to part ways?
Flying Duo is the second romantic comedy in the 'Flying'
series, following on from bestseller, Flying Solo, which was described by the
Daily Express newspaper as 'a must read that will appeal to fans of Sophie
Kinsella, Beth O'Leary and Mhari McFarlane' ā

My Thoughts
Having been introduced to Rachel in Flying Solo, it is interesting to see what happens to her next. Her relationship with Seb seems to be rock solid and she sets off on a new adventure, to travel to Nepal, to Everest's base camp. However, despite the fact that she is blissfully happy with Seb, she is, nevertheless, unsure of what the future has in store for them in the long term. You see again some of her vulnerabilities.
Added to the story this time around are some new characters who she meets along the way. Wary at first, she is unsure of anything which will get in the way of her working out how she sees her relationship with Seb developing. You also get to see Seb's relationship with his over-achieving father and to see some of his insecurities as well. Seb has to work out what he wants his future to look like which may not be to the liking of his Dad.
This is an entertaining read with some humorous episodes. Most entertaining of all is seeing how far out of her comfort zone Rachel has to go in this beautiful country which is teeming with unseen dangers!
In short: Nepal opens up a world of possibilities.
About the Author
Zoe May is an author of romantic comedies. Zoe has dreamt of
being a novelist since she was a teenager. She worked in journalism and
copywriting in London before writing her debut novel, Perfect Match. Having
experienced the London dating scene first hand, Zoe couldn't resist writing a
novel about dating since it seems to supply endless amounts of weird and
wonderful material!
Perfect Match was one of Apple's top-selling books of 2018.
It was also shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon
Award, with judges describing it as 'a laugh out loud look at love and
self-discovery - fresh and very funny'.
As well as writing, Zoe enjoys walking her dog, painting
and, of course, reading! She adores animals and if she's not taking a photo of
a vegan meal, she's probably tweeting about the dairy industry. She is half
Greek and half Irish and can make a mean baklava. Zoe has a thing for horror
films, India, swimming, hip hop and Radiohead. She has an encyclopaedic
knowledge of handbags having spent several years working in fashion copywriting
and could probably win Mastermind if this was her specialist subject!
