Kan iemand de vertaalster van dit boek verbieden ooit nog iets anders dan stationsromannetjes onder handen te nemen? Dank.

Kan iemand ervoor zorgen dat stationsromannetjes uitsluitend van een duidelijk herkenbare stationsromannetjescover worden voorzien? Dank.

Kan iemand mij eraan herinneren dat quotes van Jill Mansell, Jojo Moyes én Marie Claire evenveel betekenen als: koop een papierversnipperaar?

Dank, dank, zoveel dank.

It’s been a long time since a book kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. But this one; I couldn’t put down until I’d finished.

This is chick lit with an educational purpose. A single mother, Jess, and her ten year old son travel to France to spend time with his father. Jess and Adam split up ten years ago, but her mother, who is ill, is keen for her grandson to connect with his father. Her mother’s illness weighs heavily on Jess, and this trip is significant for a number of reasons. The French countryside is lovely, the characters attractive and the interactions pleasantly predictable. The education is related to a particular disease, but the moral is not unusual for this sort of book; live life to the full. I must have seen this highly recommended somewhere, to have put it on my list, and it certainly wasn’t horrid, but I need a bit more to be really moved by a book. For fans of Me Before You, which doesn’t mean that someone dies!

I really liked the premise of this, and I saw the author at a book event and she was very engaging but I just lost interest half way through. I was mildly interested to find out whether the main character has the faulty gene but not enough to try to get into it a second time. Not for me. Sorry!

Solid 3.5 stars. I didn't find it to be the most wonderfully written book, but I enjoyed the characters and it did manage to hit me in the feels a few times. I felt that the topic of a chronic disease was well handled, as well.

I guess you could call this chick lit with substance. The only type of chick lit I can handle. I even cried a tiny bit.
