Jennifer Turner’s delightful review truly warmed my heart: 

"Carry on with the Koalas!!! Reading 'A Suitcase Full of Koalas' was an absolute pleasure. It felt good to laugh. Over the last week I've spent many a spare moment picking up the book and carrying on with my reading, sometimes at the expense of missing out on gardening, watching 'Gardeners World' or a walk around the block. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations between the characters and I even recognised some traits shared by family and friends in different characters. The cultural, philosophical and historical observations were very enlightening. Reading 'A Suitcase Full of Koalas' made me want to go back to London!" 

It’s a joy to know the book brought you laughter and kept pulling you back — even when the garden or a walk beckoned! That kind of reader engagement is a dream for any writer. 

Hearing that the characters felt familiar, even reminding you of family and friends, is such a lovely compliment. I hoped their quirks, conversations, and reflections would feel both humorous and true to life, and it’s wonderful to know that resonated. 

And if this story sparked a longing to revisit London, then the suitcase did its job well! Thank you, Jennifer, for your kind words and for joining the journey — koalas and all.
