Surely falling in love is a wonderful thing? Imagine being able to experience that feeling over and over again, even though you are married and have three children. That's why I write romance.

That it was in the romance genre I ended up is not so strange since I love reading about happy endings. Everything from mother's Harlequin books, via Maria Lang and Maria Gripe, to Jane Austen, Rosamunde Pilcher and more contemporary Simona Ahrnstedt.

Since my family and I moved from Stockholm to Hälsingland, I feel that this is where I belong. In the forest, among the mountains and near the sea. Here I have everything I need to create my characters. No wonder I choose to place most of my stories into this wonderful county.

Titel- och omslagsreveal!

Jag vet inte om jag skrivit om det här, men jag fick byta titel på min sommarföljtong för ett tag sedan. Jag tycker att den här speglar innehållet väldigt bra. Sommaren då Monica fick nog är en charmig semester följetong om att dissa golf och sömniga äktenskap till förmån för nya äventyr. Den utspelar sig i Hälsingland och släpps i fyra delar i juli på alla ljudbokstjänster.

Alltså, vilken debut. Den här har allt man vill ha av en modern romance, slow burn, attraktion som går att ta på, men utan att göra det förutsägbart. Ser fram emot att läsa mer av Mellqvist, och helst så snart som möjligt!

En riktigt bra debut! En härlig roman om kvinnlig vänskap och vad som kan hända om de står tillsammans. Jag ville inte riktigt lämna Yllan och Kristianstad när boken tog slut. Jag vill veta mer om kvinnorna i boken och hoppas på en uppföljare.
