this was a nice easy read about hope and the possibility of starting over. if you're looking for something light, this is a great option that i enjoyed reading!
things i liked:
- the story is set in france and it was so lovely and romantic in a way only france can be.
- i loved the message about renewal and having the courage to start again. especially since the main character is almost 50, and most fiction/romance books like this feature a much younger protagonist.
- the side characters were so fun! each had a distinctive personality and i loved their interactions.
things i didn't like:
- sometimes the pacing was strange. it would speed up at parts and a bunch of the hotel renovation would be done really quickly, which was disappointing because i enjoyed the details about the renovation process.
- it was a very slow burn romance. i would be hesitant to classify this as strictly romance. i think it's more like fiction with a dash of romance thrown in, which was lovely as well.
- sometimes the writing felt a bit clunky and unnatural. the sentences were all very short with attempts at adding detail that didn't always work.
overall this was a quick and easy read that i enjoyed! if you are looking for something simple and heartwarming, i would give this one a try. 3/5
