ppcfransen 's review for:
Old Friends Reunited
by Maddie Please
s feel-good, but left me feeling somewhat mhew.
Bea is months behind on delivering the manuscript for her next book to her agent. A change of scene might do her good and she goes to stay with a friend from school who owns a B&B in France. Another schoolfriend is there too, and despite the book’s title and the picture on the cover, the women do not get up to any chanannigans.
Bea doesn’t get any writing done,but she does meet a man she’s rather charmed by. He likes her too and invites her to his house for another change of scenery, that may inspire her to start writing again.
It’s feelgood. There is no conflict, only a few minor worries from Bea. Her friend Audrey experiences a lot more conflict, with an absent husband that suddenly wants to retire (and be less absent) and a television crew that has come round to catch up. If the focus of this book had been on Audrey, it probably would have been more interesting.
I read an ARC through NetGalley.
