There’s a nice atmosphere to this book. The European scenarios definitely add charm to the pages, but unfortunately, not enough to raise this book past the “average” threshold.

The main issue I found was that Ava, the main character, is just not likeable. She is so indecisive, so weak, that it takes a lot of effort on the reader’s part to warm to her. She is affected by every little comment anyone in her vicinity makes, sending her into existential drama that gets tiring after the first couple of times.
Her inability to make a decision between the two men she supposedly cares for is frustrating enough, but add to that her tendency to cry at the drop of a hat, and she becomes someone I, personally, did not enjoy spending too much time with. The grandfathers are handled better, but Dennis, the main love interest, is domineering and judgmental to the extreme, making him as unlikeable as Ava.

The plot is sweet, but predictable. There are a few scenes, for example when Ava speaks with a French woman who reveals to her something she needs to know, that are nicely done, with just the right amount of tension.

If the main characters had been different, this would have made for a nice, easy read, but as it is, I had trouble identifying with Ava, let alone feeling the need to root for her.
