Like a macaroon
Bewertet mit 2.5 Sternen
The cover is truly beautiful and caught my attention right away. Sadly, the content couldn't live up to my expectations. The storyline is well-known: meeting the love of your life again, which ended years ago in heartbreak but that you could never forget. This can make for a nice + cute, if not really original, story.
But in this book everything feels a little constructed and unreal. From the sudden + mysterious disappearance of the mother, the boss that is oh so understanding that his employee takes a leave of several months right away, the reunion of Sophie and Raff and especially their immediate closeness again, the reason for their break-up 5 years ago, Coco who so easily confides in Sophie - virtually a stranger to her - at the first opportunity, the "search" for the mother that is apparently not lost at all but only away on her own account, the reappearance of the mean ex-girlfriend who stirs up new trouble... And along the way they manage the shop as if it is no big deal running a business (we witness them selling macaroons, but when has Raff even time to bake them?). I also found that some parts of the dialogue sounded unnatural.
So, sadly, this book was for me like a macaroon. It looks delicious from the outside but the taste is not worth the money
