As Luck Would Have It – Zoe May

Welcome back everyone, I can’t believe Zoe already has another book on tour. She’s had two books in two months on tour!

I thought this would be an enemy’s to lover’s style trope given the blurb. Who else is with me there?

Yet it turned out to be a second chances trope! Who would’ve thought?!

Set in beautiful Marrakesh we get a tiny glimpse of the sights, the food and the culture. I don’t think it’s enough for anyone familiar with that culture and city to take issues with anything, yet at the same time enough to give us the sense and feel of the location.

We had a little bit of everything in this story. Second chance love, getting over the betrayals of others, learning about a new culture and place, emotional growth, professional development and growth and even finding a new family.

I think my favourite part was when they went to see the Atlas Mountains. Even if I’m not sure that would actually happen in real life, I loved the romanticism of it. The whole time Natalie had been protecting her heart, and the time in the Atlas Mountains really showed her growth when it came to Will.

The ending also surprised me. Well, the main part of it was pretty predictable since it’s a romance. But one aspect of it was something I wasn’t expecting, and it made me so happy! It spoke true to Natalie’s personality and I hope it helps to break down some traditional views. Even if it is only just a tiny bit.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review; next week I’ll be reviewing In Five Years by Rebecca Serle. Continue to read further down to find out about the author.

Author Bio

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 could not 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!

Zoe loves to hear from readers, you can contact and follow her on all her various social media channels.
