I really enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. The setting is in France and the way the author describes it in detail, it gives you the feeling you truly are in France. The characters are unique in their own ways and there is a distinct difference between the French, the English and that one American person. I love how the author manages to create different cultural backgrounds fitting in with their heritage. The plot is good and it was quite nice to have several point of views and how the book switches from Belinda to Fern.

I do have one major issue with this book which made me give it three stars and not four. It feels so incredibly rushed from the first until the last page. We jump from one place to another and the reader barely gets time to catch their breath. While I appreciate it when authors don't fill their pages with things that hardly contribute to the story, I wish this author would've done that a little more. Even the conversations between characters are rushed and they lack depth. Everything that happens feels very nonchalant. Like the growing relationship between two people in the book, it feels like they hardly spent any real time together, developing as people and in their relationship. In the end they are just in love but the author provides little character building or hints to a developing relationship which bothered me.

So while I very much enjoyed the plot, I do feel as if it lacked in depth. It makes for a fun book to read unfortunately nothing great. If the book were to be edited to make it feel less of a marathon but more of a flowing story it could get four stars or more.
