About the author
Sara Madderson
18 books485 followersI like to change things up! I spent my 20s as a banker and my 30s bringing up small children and running my own fashion brand (Madderson London).
Now, aged 43, I find myself writing, and I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner.
I’ve always loved writing. My daughter Tilly has an old notebook of mine filled with half-finished stories and accompanying drawings. I’ve read for as long as I can remember, guzzling up books so quickly that my mum always protested that I couldn’t be reading them properly. You can see my original, dog-eared version of A Little Princess in my photo. Its protagonist, Sara Crewe, is one of my all-time favourite heroines (alongside Anne Shirley, naturally).
I published my first book, Metamorphosis, in February 2020, right before lockdown happened. It’s a non-fiction book about escaping from our cocoons and living as a butterfly. As lockdown progressed, I found escapism in devouring lots of delicious chick-lit (for want of a better title) and I realised I had a few novels in me too. I have loved every single minute of writing them.
I’ve published my books independently, and I love the freedom it provides. The world of independent publishing is fascinating and so empowering—I’m delighted to share more of my experiences of self-publishing if you’re interested.

Le sigh… second time love and reading the best!
Sara Madderson is such a gifted writer. In this second read-through, I was able to savour this story even more and loved Elle and Josh’s love so much more.
The fourth of five books in the Love in London series, Falling Stars, a second chance novel, certainly had a few twists I wasn’t expecting. Especially that the lead female character has Crohn’s Disease — a great way to normalize it. It’s definitely not a sexy thing to have, but I love that she shows us sexy times are still wonderful thing when you have a partner who nurtures and understands when she’s not able. Josh is a special man.
What can I say… I love this book! The promise of love, the heartbreak when it is not the time, the yearning, the inevitability. These two are meant to be and they are willing to sacrifice so much personally to be together. Brilliant!
Even the epilogue made me smooshy!

It was such a perfect Epilogue!! I fell in love with the book so so much when I read it. That much that I didn’t want it to end. So getting this little bonus Epilogue was so amazing!! It ends the book and definetly Josh and Elle’s lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers storyline off perfectly!!
