Thank you to Net Galley for providing an e-copy of this book for review. The Little French Bridal Shop has a fairly common premise. Woman loses her job, heads back to site of happy childhood memories and runs into an old flame. The book was well written, the descriptions vivid and the plot fine. My problem with the book was the central character, Larisa. I did not find her to be a particularly good person. I was expecting more of a cozy, rom-com book but just never got that feel.

I love a good rom-com with flawed characters and a fun premise. Jennifer Dupee provides that along with strong writing and decent pacing. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into The Little French Bridal Shop as the main character was just awful. Larisa was deceitful and deceptive with not a lot of redeeming qualities. It made it too difficult for me to get into the story itself.

Tried really hard to read on but I'm not a fan of the writing style. That's okay, not every book is for every reader so I'm sure others will love this.

I really loved this book – it’s an enthralling story, haunting in its every detail, so beautifully written. The character development is quite exceptional – and the whole book had an unforgettable impact. Highly, highly recommended.'

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Unfortunately, this book lacked so much. The characters had no personality, the story never took off and the book didn’t hold my attention. I never just don’t finish a book, so I preserved to the end which I found unsatisfying. I will not be recommending it.
