Welcome to a city where
wishes are everywhere
For Megan, a winter
escape to Prague with her friend Ollie is a chance to find some inspiration for

My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Isabelle
Broom has blown me away with her debut novel My Map of You and guess what, she did it again!!! This story is
absolutely incredible for several reasons.
Three
different women, three different stories and one city. We meet Megan, who is a
photographer and has travelled to Prague with her friend Ollie. They are not a
couple and it should stay that way according to her.
Hope
is in Prague with her new partner Charlie. She is trying to enjoy the city, but
she can’t. Her daughter Annabell is angry with her.
Sophie
is waiting for her fiancée Robin in prague, that’s where they met, he should
arrive every moment…
Well,
the three women meet and get to know each other. The chapters change
perspectives between the three women and in every chapter we read about their
past, as well as their time in Prague.
Isabelle
has created a wonderful and Christmassy atmosphere and the vivid and detailed
descriptions of Prague make me want to go there immediately.
All
three women go through something very emotional, they deal with it alone, but
then also have each other after a while, which was wonderful.
This
book is full of love, romance, warmth, comfort, but also touching and moving
moments. I was able to dive into this story immediately and Isabelle’s gripping
writing made it hard to leave the characters again. This book is not just about
there women meeting each other, it also covers heartache and goes really deep.
And then there is Ollie, you will fall in love with him.
A
captivating and incredible story written with so much passion, warmth and love.
I loved every second of this book. BRILLIANT!!!

Great review, thank you. Prague is such an evocative backdrop, so wintery, for an, at times, challenging story-line.
