Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars by Samantha Verant

3.0

Lackluster sequel marginally redeemed by the atmospheric descriptions of food, France, and the colorful supporting cast of characters. Sophie is so unlikeable with her constant whining, her unnecessary conflicts about staying at the chateau, and overall deceitfulness when withholding her loss of taste and smell from those who literally are her ride or die family. Even the dreamboat Remy became intolerable. Controlling, demanding, and downright boorish diminished the storyline. Sophie’s relationship with her brigade of chefs and sous chefs is so one sided. Philippa, Jane, Marie, and the Nanny brigade deserve more than Sophie. They are the true heart of this book.
