First of all, I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book! 

“A sweet romance novel” as described on the cover is exactly what I expected when I started reading. We meet Christine, who suffers with a chronic illness and is able to finally find a way to travel to Paris. She never thought she’d be able to travel with her health the way it is, but with the help of her friend Lola, she finally convinced herself to go. She meets Colin at the airport and it was love at first sight for them(well… almost), but Colin has a secret that Christine doesn’t know -  it wasn’t just a coincidence that they were on the same flight and staying at the same hotel. 

I’m someone who loves cute love stories and while at times it felt quick and a little bit unrealistic, I was in love with their love story from the beginning anyway. I was rooting for them to make it all the way until the end of the book. I enjoyed that the author added some drama upon Christine finding out the truth, leaving the reader to wonder what was going to happen with their relationship after all. 

This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I’m looking forward to reading more in the future. I give this book four out of five stars and recommend it to anyone looking for a light read full of romance. I also have to say I love that the author included a movie list and Spotify playlist at the end of the book, what a nice touch!
