A review by akhmalaiman
Coco's Secret by Niamh Greene

3.0

I would say it is "quite" an OK book.

3.5/5 ratings

If you are looking for a book about connecting two people who were separated in their early lives, then this is the book for you. It is a mixture of Philomena and Letters to Juliet if you have watched any of those movies.

The story narrates about a 30-something lady who was separated from her mother after her tragic accident in Paris. She discovers a Chanel handbag, and it is coincident that she was named Coco, after Coco Chanel. In this bag is a letter from someone directed to someone, and Coco is determined to find its owner. So, the book follows her journey solving the mystery.

As for my review, it is divinely written and well-narrated. I like the cover, I think that's why I bought it in the first place. Also, I like the characters involved. They all seem to be very nice, especially Coco herself. She's very "safe", reminds me someone personal to me. ANYWAY, I find the plot a little bit cliche, except for the last part. I think that's the part where Greene loss two gold stars for me.

It is an easy and relaxing read. Pure click-lit. I don't mind recommending it, if you have some spare time to read without having to be in a rush.
