I love reading about Grace Kelly and to add her into this love story while she was falling in love with her Prince is a perfect historical romance. A wedding in April is perfect for love and romance.

Set amidst the rolling hills of the Côte d'Azur, Meet Me in Monaco harmoniously unites the separate stories of French parfumeuse Sophie, London photographer James, and the ever so lovely Grace Kelly.
Traces of this book, like an exquisite perfume, will linger with the reader long after its cover has been closed...
Thank you, Heather Webb, for the ARC edition. Merci beaucoup!

DNF at 36%
I thought this book would have a whole lot more Grace Kelley in it. Yes, I read the synopsis, and I knew about James and Sophie, but it turns out Kelly is just a peripheral character who serves as a vessel to get James and Sophie to interact with one another.
It took me 5 days to get through the 36% I did read, and when I found myself doing other things (like playing games on my phone) as an excuse to not to have to pick this up, I decided enough was enough and it was time to let it go.
The writing is well done, I just have zero interest in the two main characters.

DNF. I got through half of this book before I gave up. I thought this would be a fictionalized account 0f Grace Kelly's wedding in Monaco. Instead, it's the romance of a French perfumer and an English photographer who operate on the fringe of Grace Kelly's world. Tried to get into the romance, but that's not my normal wheelhouse for reading, so it is on to other books.
