This books drags on and on…about nothing. I love One Last Stop, was meh about RWRB, but this one is by far my least favorite. I almost DNFed sooo many times. If you’re a wine connoisseur, French food lover, or an American on an actual tour of Europe, I could see where this book would be exciting. But coming from someone who doesn’t drink wine, knows literally nothing about wine (nor do I care) and had to google every food and most places mentioned…the pay off was definitely not worth it and I should have put it down forever when I first even though about it.
The first half of the book is Theo’s POV, and the second half is Kit’s. For me, Kit’s half was a bit better to read, but I may have just been excited for the change of pace. As always, I loved the LGBTQI representation, but everything else was just disappointing.
