A French Affair by Katie Fforde

1.0

DNF. I really couldn’t get into this at all. Right from the first sentence I knew I was going to struggle with the writing style. Too much telling, the writing’s quite on the nose, and it needed a good editor to tighten it even if you ignored those issues. I persevered for a chapter or two because I was really looking for a light, easy read, but the characters felt flat (despite the obvious personality the sister was supposed to have) and I have hundreds of other books waiting for me.

It’s my first novel by this author, so maybe I’ll try another one. There seem to be quite a few low-rating reviews from readers who normally love this author, so maybe it wasn’t the best one to start with.
