'A delightfully funny read that will appeal to fans of Emily Henry and Nina Kenwood.' Books + Publishing
Moving back to her hometown in country NSW, single, jobless and pregnant was never Poppy's plan. With her best friend living hundreds of kilometres away and an ex who refuses to pick up the phone, she doesn't know who to turn to for help.
There's definitely no point asking her midwife, James, because he's the worst. Sure, he held her hand through the birth, but that's only because it was his job.
However, as Poppy and James keep crossing paths in the small country town, Poppy begins to realise she may have misjudged her midwife. And that complicates things.
As Poppy stumbles from crisis to crisis in a town that feels unrecognisable, she learns that to build a future, sometimes you need to let go of the past. And often, the strongest relationships are those you forge when you're at rock bottom.
'Leesa's writing is an exciting breath of fresh air. Her voice is witty, clever and captures even the most mundane aspects of motherhood with incredible heart and humility. Leesa's ability to convey the vulnerabilities and insecurities we feel as mothers in the first year of a child's life really reinforced the beauty of the journey, despite its nuanced challenges. Special Delivery had me swooning, sobbing and smiling, from start to finish. I enjoyed every step along the voyage, feeling like I'd found a kindred spirit in Poppy, and the colourful cast of characters who walk this year with her. Brava, Leesa!' Jenna Lo Bianco, author of The Italian Marriage
'Special Delivery is a hysterical and heartwarming romcom that delivers sizzling chemistry, unforgettable characters and irresistible charm in one precious package. Utterly adorable and laugh-out-loud funny, it explores the magic and mayhem of becoming a single mother, returning to a life you thought you had left behind, and finding love when (and where) you least expect it.' Natalie Murray, author of Love, Just In
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Special Delivery is warm, funny and grounded in the messy reality of rebuilding your life when everything goes up in flames. Poppy McKellar’s life plan collapses in record time: one broken relationship, one vanished job and one surprise pregnancy later, she’s back in her hometown of Orange, leaning on her parents. Enter James, the midwife who delivers her baby and somehow manages to be infuriating and distractingly attractive all at once. This somewhat unusual, very Aussie spin on the classic enemies-to-lovers formula includes plenty of humour with a dose of new-mum chaos. Author Leesa Ronald is based in Orange herself, so the regional flavour feels as authentic as Poppy’s growing feelings for James.
