French Holiday
by Sarah Ready
This book was just fun to read! Funny at times, heartfelt at others, “French Holiday” is an enchanting romance with a fairy tale setting, witty dialogue, silly scenarios, and at the heart of it, two people who go from not liking each other to finding the love they both need.
After Merry’s sister marries Leo- Merry’s best friend and the love of her life- she doesn’t know if her happily ever after will ever come. After quitting her job, her Godmother offers her the opportunity of a lifetime: house sit for her at a fabulous French Chateau while she figures out what she wants to do with her life. Apartment sublet, bags packed, Merry heads to France with high hopes, only to arrive at said chateau and see that it’s less than fabulous and that it’s also being occupied by Leo’s best man and Merry’s nemesis Noah. When neither of them want to budge on leaving, they agree to share their French castle for 3 months and all the trouble that comes along with it. As time goes, their arrangement turns to friendship, and then friendship starts to look like something more.
I found the comedy in this ‘friends to enemies’ romance to be refreshing. The banter between Noah and Merry was cute, fun, and made me look forward to every interaction they had in the book. Were some of the scenes a little wacky (I’m talking about you, Louis the Lobster)? Yes, yes they were. At the end of the day, however, I also think they added to the charm of the story. At the end of the day, I really enjoyed myself reading this book, and think that others will as well, a solid 4/5 stars. Enjoy!
