I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it ended up being a delightful surprise. It reminded me very much of Fredrik Backman's Anxious People. I enjoyed the everyone-writes-in-letters format of the book and the French accents of the narrators (a fun touch, since the book is a translation and takes place mostly in France).

*I was given a free copy for an honest review*
This was a wonderful epistolary. I absolutely loved the writing and the way each character had differences in the styles. I enjoyed the description of the sights across multiple countries. The mystery behind the authors of the found manuscript keeps you engaged and excited for "Waldo" to be found. I enjoyed the ending. This was a light, fun read.
