A review by delilahreads
Il suffit d'un amour, tome 1 by Juliette Benzoni
3.0
I really enjoyed the first part of this book, when Catherine was still young and lived in Paris. She was described as an adventurous girl with a strong character, which I loved. Also I found the uncommon setting -France during the hundred Years war- really interesting. While reading this first part I thought I was reading a well written historic novel and Iâm a fan of those.
My problem with this book was, that it got worse and worse. Catherine grows to be the prettiest girl you could ever imagine. OF COURSE. That was so disappointing, I was really excited when I read, that as a child she wasnât particularly good looking. I just hoped, that she wouldnât be the typical beauty, loved by everyone. I hoped, she would grow a strong, independent woman, who gets known for what she does and not for how she looks. (Of course I didnât know at that time, that the French title of one of these books was âBelle Catherineâ otherwise I wouldâve guessed that part..)
Sadly, this is only a melodramatic romance. In the end it was definitely an OK book, it was just a bit lengthy and ultra-cheesy in the middle.
BUT If you already read this, and werenât toooo disappointed, I can only suggest reading the second book, I promise, it gets (a tad) better!
