I've an extra review today for You Had Me At Bonjour
by
Jennifer Bohnet, a fun, easy to read book
that left me feeling happy. It’s a perfect escapism read.
Jessica needs a gap year. Her
marriage is over, her daughter is ready to fly the nest and with the help of
her best mate she has made plans to spend a year in Provence. A year when all
she has to worry about is herself, well that is her plan.
Written as a diary, which works
really well, it’s a form of therapy for Jessica to rid herself of the hurt and
anger caused by her ex-husband, and the loneliness she feels when she first
arrives. I felt all her raw emotions, I fell in love with her new life in
Provence and loved the subtle little snippets of life in France that show the
author has lived there and experienced more than just French holidays. The
other characters we meet, family, friends and neighbours, add some depth, a
chance of romance and also some interesting twists to the plot.
I was sad to leave at the end of
the year, but I’m hopeful that Jennifer could pick up Jessica’s story again.
You had me is published by Carina
and is available in ebook format.
