Some People Walk Into Our Lives. Others Never Really Leave.

Life is rarely defined by a single moment. Instead, it’s shaped by the conversations we remember, the friendships that quietly endure and the people who remain beside us through every season of life.

That’s the beautiful premise behind London Calling by Steve McCarthy, the second novel in The Galway Girl Trilogy.

From 3rd–7th August, Love Books Tours is delighted to be celebrating this heartfelt contemporary romance with our Bookstagram community.

Twenty years have passed since a life-changing summer in Galway. Tom Carter has built the future he once dreamed of—a successful photography career, a home in London and a life created through determination and hard work. Yet throughout every triumph, disappointment and new beginning, one person has remained a constant: Niamh.

As Tom reflects on the choices that brought him to where he is today, memories begin to take on new meaning. Long-held assumptions are challenged, old emotions resurface and he starts to wonder whether the person who has mattered most has been beside him all along.

Moving effortlessly between London and Ireland’s breathtaking west coast, London Calling is an emotional story of friendship, family, memory and the quiet moments that shape our futures. It’s a novel that reminds us that love isn’t always found in dramatic beginnings—sometimes it grows through years of shared history, unwavering support and second chances.

Whether you’re returning to the world of The Galway Girl or discovering these unforgettable characters for the first time, London Calling promises an uplifting, emotional journey filled with warmth and heart.

London Calling is the second novel in The Galway Girl Trilogy, following the lives of characters readers first met in The Galway Girl.

Twenty years ago, a summer in Galway changed Tom Carter’s life.

Since then, life has carried him forward. A successful photography career. A home in London. A future built through hard work, determination, and choices made one step at a time.

And through it all, Niamh has always been there.

Across the Irish Sea, across the years, across all the changes that adulthood brings, their friendship has endured. Some connections become part of who we are. So familiar, so constant, that we stop questioning them.

Until something makes us look again.

As Tom reflects on the journey that brought him from a teenage holiday romance to the life he lives today, he finds himself confronting old memories, difficult truths, and the choices that shaped the man he became.

Set between London and Ireland’s stunning west coast, London Calling is a heartfelt story about first love, lifelong friendship, family, memory and the moments that quietly define our lives.
