Sadly, this was my second attempt to read a book written by Nina George. First was The Little Paris Bookshop. Silly me, I thought it was about a bookshop in Paris. Well, it was for about one chapter, as the bookshop was on a barge and the owner pulled anchor and drifted through numerous canals in France, with changes to the storyline along the way. Couldn't finish that one, too many characters, too many sub-plots, etc. It ended up being a romance novel, not to my liking. So now I try reading Little French Bistro. Starts out in Paris, main character is suicidal, jumps into Seine, is rescued, and again, author adds so many characters that don't get developed. You can't really follow storyline without flipping back to see who and where this new character came in to story. I made it to page 112, just had to give up again. Story now has about 9-10 characters and there still isn't any depth to any of them. I truly hope the next reader enjoys the book.
