Helpful Score: 1
I was first drawn to this book because it takes place in the wine country of France. The book does the setting justice though as a wine lover I would have loved even more descriptions about the wine making process, the landscape, etc. (4 out of 5 stars)
In terms of story telling, this was at times lacking depth in describing situations, jumping forward in giant leaps. (3 out of 5 stars)
As for the story itself, I empathized with the main characters, felt drawn into their feelings. If anything it was a little lacking in the single line story telling. The ending was predictable, but still enjoyable (3.5 out of 5)
