Edie shows up in Paris thinking this is the location of her new job. She accepted a job in a bakery online, which turns out to be on Rue de Paris in Compiegne, not in Paris. This turns out to be a twist of fate that changes Edie’s life.
A simple story with a very slight nod to magic, the characters on Rue de Paris really shine. After making new friends and a new life, it all gets put in danger when the bakery is threatened by the bank. Can Edie and her new friends turn the bakeries fortune around just like her own.
I enjoyed the French setting and the light nature of Edie’s story as she transitioned to the new life. I would have liked a little more magic in the magic realism, so if you love the whimsy of a magical realism story, this one doesn’t quite it those chords. It is almost an afterthought and not really pertinent to the story. If you are in the market for a Spring Break or summer read, this one is perfect.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for this honest review.
