The Swiss Mishap by Amey Zeigler

5.0

Chocolate (massive win already), Switzerland, Ambition, Passion and Romance are the key elements that are beautifully woven in Amey Zeigler's "The Swiss Mishap". This romantic comedy is very unique for it follows the conventions of the genre but is still unconventional in its own right. Lainey Peterson is a truly authentic character who apart from dealing with the challenges of being miles away from home is repeatedly conched (the metaphoric element and the story of Rodolphe Lindt is one of my favourites) but she still stands up despite every adversity. Her journey of self-reflection (with her numbering system) and her growth is remarkable and you cannot help but cheer her on. Where do I even begin with M.Claremont! He is a complex contradiction who has waged a personal battle with himself and his character shines at several key moments in the book. The lead characters interactions are very engaging and Amey aligns this very well to cobblestone roads and beautiful landscapes of Switzerland. The ending is funny, heartfelt and oozes with sweetness. I cannot wait to read more of Amey's work. A 5 star read!
