I really enjoyed this story. It was a nice easy read peppered with giggly moments. This is a story about unlikely friendships and seeing beneath the surface. I'm looking forward to seeing these three again in The Happiness Project.

Laini is very good at creating worlds and making them seem very very real. The story alludes to maybe a spin-off or a novella which I really hope does happen as I always love expanding stories and extra world building.

The families are also quite involved in this story. It was lovely to see them meet the family and get a glimpse of what's to come for the rest of the series. I'm looking forward to Jilly's book and I cannot wait for Brindle's next.

This story and its characters wormed their way into my heart. This is the sort of story that will leave a smile on your face and a warm feeling inside. I loved it and I will miss these characters quite a lot.

I really enjoyed this warm cosy short story. It has everything you need for a good chicklit story. Romance, food and a pretty location. It was great to see glimpses of Paris and all that food! Man, I wanted to eat so much food.

This book is warm and cosy. It will leave you with a glow and a smile and at this time of year, there's not much more you need from a book. This is the perfect companion to a snuggle on the sofa.
