Olivia and Brody, a
couple in their fifties, are getting married at Emily's Olivia's best
friend's, inn in Provence. When they arrive the setting is perfect.
They're very much in love. It seems like a perfect weekend.
Then family and
friends arrive: Olivia's two daughters, Brody's best friend, Jake,
and Brody's mother, Fanny. Each brings problems. Casey, the good
daughter, is upset because her boyfriend didn't come. Nell, the
wayward daughter, invites a guy she meets on the plane to come to the
wedding. Jake, who will do the wedding ceremony, doesn't believe in
marriage. Fanny is distraught. He husband of fifty-five years left
her without an explanation. In addition, Emily and her French husband
Sebastian, are having marital difficulties.
If you like romance,
you'll like this book. The characters hold your interest. Olivia and
her daughters are very real. My only criticism is that Brody seems
too good to be true. He allows Oliva to deal with her daughters'
traumas without becoming involved or upset. He's just there for her.
This is a story
about the importance of love, particularly the love of family and
close friends. It has a heart warming ending. I enjoyed it.
I reviewed this book
for Net Galley.
