I was entertained but not wowed.My French is not great but the French was poorly wriiten. I mostly skipped past the French and got to the translation. The insertion of French was way overdone and intrusive to the enjoyment of the book.Luckily Maggie an American has some Americans living nearby. Truthfully I did not like any of the American friends. Grace and Windsor are wildly rich but such horrible parents to their little treasure of a little girl. Extremly disturbing. Connor was secretive, selfish and practically a criminal.Maggie and Laurent relationship was lacking on so many levels. I kept thinking Maggie would wake up and see what a jerk Laurent was. That her parents encouraged the relationship was bizarre. Truthfully it maybe because they didn't see how rude he was to her constantly.In spite of all the trouble with characters and too much insertion of bad french. The book moved along at a nice pace. It did hold my interest but it isn't great.
