It was ok. I didn't really enjoy the story which was about people having affairs and then leaving each other and having more..I mean it could be about refunding oneself but really they lost me when instead of just going to France and teaching at an amazing museum she instead falls in love and gets pregnant at 44 and forgets to renew her visa while her husband ( who she left because she was jealous of his sad teenage past love affair he never went back to but had a son with who he never knew) goes and buys her an Italian villa to apologize. What?
My favorite part was thinking about a color for a week in her art class. That was the best part

WOW WOW WOW! 🌹
I have so many thoughts about this one and like … LESSA, WE NEED AN EPILOGUE OR SEQUEL ASAP! I need answers 😭❤️
the style of writing, the Parisian lifestyle, the background of french day-to-day life, the unconventional romances - it truly was *chef kiss*
part romance, part contemporary fiction, this book will truly scoop you into the world of vincent and her quest to find herself after her husband keeps a life-changing secret from her. I totally found myself re-reading pages and chapters because the use of the french language was so so beautiful.
I studied abroad and had the opportunity to tour paris and the french countryside a few years ago, and I absolutely adored how they tied in culture with the romantic and self-indulgent storyline 🇫🇷
VIVE LA FRANCE!!
I knocked off a star because there were a few chapters that were a bit repetitive and slow, and y’all know I love my stories wrapped up in a neat lil bow so that cliffhanger 🤯🌹
a big thank you to grand central publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! highly recommend the audiobook for this one 🎧
