Although thirty-three-year-old Kara Moon loves her hometown of Hartmouth in Cornwall, she has always wondered if she should have followed her dream of leaving to study floristry. But she couldn't bring herself to leave her emotionally delicate single father and has worked on Ferry Lane Market's flower stall ever since leaving school.
When her good-for-nothing boyfriend cheats on her and steals her life savings, she finally dumps him and rents out her spare room as an Airbnb. Gossip flies around the town as Kara welcomes a series of foreign guests to her flat overlooking the estuary.
Then an anonymous postcard arrives, along with a plane ticket to New York. And there begins the first of three trips of a lifetime, during which she will learn important lessons about herself, her life, and what she wants from it - and perhaps find love along the way.

Nicola May starts her Ferry Lane Market series off with a bang and I'm totally here for it! We start off with meeting Kara Moon getting the hunch that her boyfriend is not just lazy, but also a cheater, and (not a) shocker, Kara is proven correct, but he is not the first person that has not done her wrong, but one in the many that just takes advantage, in fact, it would be easier to make a list of actual nice people in Kara's life. So when a postcard arrives along with a plane ticket to New York, she would be crazy not to go...right?
You cannot help but not relate to Kara's character, her fun personality and warm spirit draws you to her, but she is a peacekeeper and somewhat of a pleaser, but then after her mother abandoned her in her teenage years and her sister looking down upon Kara from her high profile job, it was just Kara, her Dad and her Granddad against the world. But you also have to love her sassiness, especially with her relationship with Billy. But I have to say that my favorite scene was the meeting in Barcelona! yes! I was totally yelling throughout the whole scene!!
What a start to a new series, I cannot wait for the next book! oh there is SO much I want to say right here, but I don't want to spoil the book! but the book was absolutely fantastic!!
I give Welcome to Ferry Lane Market 5 stars
