Claire Ventura dreams about opening up her own cookie decorating business, the only problem? Her anxiety and insecurities, mainly her concern about taking the next step, about disappointing her family, and about making a change in her life. Claire currently works as a bookseller with a part time job selling her cookies and spends most of her time outside looking after her grandmother. One day on her way to trying a new restaurant she accidentally almost runs over a mysterious stranger... who turns out to not only be the owner of the restaurant but also tech billionaire Nate. The two of them fall instantly in love and Nate offers to take her to Paris, soon Claire and Nate are in a whirlwind relationship that includes fancy trips around the world, extravagant gifts, and Claire starting to doubt whether this Prince Charming and Fairytale romance will last. This relationship is moving too fast and Claire starts doubting whether things should be as smooth as they are and if she really does fit into Nate’s world. While juggling with these doubts, she also is dealing with her family struggles, her sisters fighting and her aunt constantly condescending her and her worry for her sick grandmother. This romance story was like a romance movie, like I could honestly see this being made into a movie, very Crazy Rich Asians-esque ( about a girl finding out her boyfriend is a rich billionaire and trying to fit into his world while trying to still be herself despite being poorer than him and her support and connection with her family). The romance was definitely insta-love and I could empathize with Claire, she was anxious and insecure and dealing with it and Nate was perfect, like literally one dimensional perfect. This was a quick read and I definitely think it can be enjoyable for romance readers out there. Definitely give this a try, it’s a quick and cute romance read that will have you wanting to eat one of the cookies Claire has decorated.
