The children were absolutely lovely once they got to know Alex, and don’t we all want a friend like David in our lives. I hesitate to use the term easy-read as there is a skill to make a read this effortless. Btw, I’d go ahead and admit surrender right now and prepare to lose your heart to a sassy nine-year-old. Talk about being a spark!

Oops, I best shut up now or I’ll be here rambling all day. Hello to The Look! Set in 1963, it follows Alexandra, a young woman on her way to a finishing school in Switzerland.

*sighs* (again! I have never read anything by Katie Fforde before, but as her books regularly keep popping up in my recommendations, I was chuffed to receive this through NetGalley.

This book is set in 1960,s France, where even the basic amenities of the time seem charming. There's something so lovely about this story and it felt a bit like a fairytale. #aweddinginprovence #katiefford *sighs* I devoured Alexandra’s story in just over a day.

Set in the early 60s, a chance meeting in Paris will change 20-year-old Alexandra’s life… at least for the summer. I loved all the characters, especially the Count himself, Antoine, who is a rather dashing, strong Frenchman. I will say this… if you have a weakness for pining/unrequited love à la forbidden love (ish! I could almost imagine I was sat around the kitchen table with a croissant and a glass of rosé.
I enjoyed watching the characters grow and theire relationships bloom. Words are so underrated! It was as if the Chateau and its inhabitants were just waiting for Alexandra’s arrival (and those who follow) to breathe new life back into it. So, after a trying week at work I had a date with my sofa and the book on the Saturday and I wasn’t moving!
