Aix Marks the Spot by S.E. Anderson
4.0
This was super cute! Definitely a beach read.
What did I like?
I don't even know where to start. The writing was beautiful, witty and fun. I was obsessed with the characters. They were well thought out, deep and had substance. I loved France as the setting and it was so nice to read it from an authentic point of view. You can really tell the author has grown up there.
The plotline - although not revolutionary - was sweet. I enjoyed the hunt to find the clues and I liked seeing the dynamics between Valentin and Jamie and Jamie's parents as a comparison. I think the ending was well done and I felt satisfied closing the book.
I think the only thing that didn't make this book a solid five stars for me was that I wanted to see more from Jamie's grandmother and their relationship. I felt some of their encounters were forced and I don't understand some of the things she was saying and why she was reflecting that on her granddaughter.
Overall, a solid read with a happy ending. I am glad I invested my time in this book!
4 stars.
