This book was largely enjoyable–I loved the setting on the coast of France. The author did a beautiful job of describing the scenery. I thought the atmosphere was perfect for the story.

However I feel like the ending left a lot unanswered, and the author could have done a better job of tying up the characters’ storylines. I am not sure how to say more without giving things away, but I feel like I latched onto a few things early in the story that didn’t end up coming up again, or that didn’t matter to the plot in a way that I felt they should have.

The characters weren't bad, but also didn't have me falling in love with them enough to carry the plot. Emily was a little annoying--she refused to stand up for herself with her employers (maybe she shouldn't have gone to work privately for a married guy she had a thing for in the first place?) and was horribly wishy-washy when it came to important decisions. At least she made up for it in the end.
