Heart Restoration Project by Beth Merlin, Danielle Modafferi
3.75
Tropes:
- dislike (him) to lovers
- misunderstood FMC
- chateau renovation
- reality tv show
- small town
- discovering town secrets
- workplace romance
- reality tv star from a famous family
- small town in France
- grumpy x sunshine
Plum Everly is a long time reality tv star who is trying to find herself in all the personas she has put on for the cameras over the years. She is the outcast of her family and is afraid of disappointing them further.
Plum goes through an interesting character arc. She is struggling with her personal identity and thinks she has finally found herself and love after heartbreak, only to realize not everything is as it seems. She struggles through her hurt and betrayal, but finds a new passion and excitement for what she wants in life through the struggle.
I would say this is light on the romance, because she is with a different character for a good chunk of the book which personally isn't my favourite, but I really loved how everything ended up coming together in the end.
Caroline Hewitt delivered an incredible performance. She executed a flawless progression of Plum learning french and delivered everything in an American accent then the gradual progression to her figuring out proper french pronunciations. Her french accent for the french characters was easy to understand but also very good!
