'Special Delivery is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud story of finding love through life's twists and turns. Leesa Ronald is an author to watch - fans of Emily Henry and Sally Thorne will love this book!' Kelly Rimmer

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 ... 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.' Natalie Murray, author of Love, Just In
