French Holiday
Books | Fiction / General
Sarah Ready
One (crumbling) French castle. Two enemies-at-first-sight. The holiday of a lifetime. Merry DeLuca has a problem-a big problem. Her sister just married her best friend and the only man she's ever loved. Her life is rapidly spiraling down the drain and she doesn't have an escape plan. So when Merry is offered a three-month holiday living in a romantic castle in the French countryside she leaps at the chance. Merry knows her French holiday will fix everything-there will be mouthwatering pastries, delicious (meaningless) flirtations, and languid strolls through vineyards at sunset. Her holiday will be perfect. At least, Merry believes that until she arrives and finds Noah Wright-the best man at her sister's wedding and the worst man she's ever known-staying in her castle. Famous travel documentarian by day and arrogant devil by night, Noah refuses to leave the castle. Which means that Merry and Noah are stuck together in France, in a crumbling castle, in a holiday where nothing goes right. Not for Merry and not for Noah. So they strike a truce-they'll live as cohabitating friends for three-months, and then they'll amicably part ways, never to see each other again. But the thing about friendship? Sometimes secrets are uncovered. Mysteries revealed. Hearts laid bare. And friendship can start to feel a lot like caring. A lot like love. It can even make you wish that the holiday never has to end. "...winning read about a little-discussed topic." - Kirkus Reviews on Josh and Gemma Make a Baby

"DNF @ 85% <br/><br/>This book is straight bananas. If they turn it into a movie, Nic Cage is in it. He is ALL the characters.<br/><br/>This starts off as a 27 dresses-esque rom-com, but it's not terribly funny. Then it becomes a murder mystery / Davinci Code caper story with lost parents, but it's also a (three stooges) comic gothic... suspense - which I didn't know was a thing, but apparently it is. Oh and also there's a demon lobster. In France. And that's not even the most bonkers thing about this insane story.<br/><br/>I probably could have finished it. But the words "make love" make me physically gag and it's used... a lot. Hurl.<br/><br/>I do not recommend it for people with weak stomachs. Otherwise, buckle up. 100% Team Louis the Demon Lobster. <br/><br/>"
