My Review

An absolutely delightful story that is laugh-out-loud funny in places; there were a couple of times when I ended up snorting my coffee! With some fabulous characters and the backdrop of France, this is a perfect pick-me-up if you need a good laugh. Like all good rom-coms though it is tempered by the bittersweet element of Bryony desperately trying to find her sister who walked out thirty years ago and with her father having had a stroke time is running out. I loved all the characters but I think the beret-wearing pug, Biggie Smalls, is worth a mention in his own right.
