My Thoughts

This has been a hilarious and tearful read, it has been a fantastic book, I enjoyed every page!
I was totally delighted with this book, it is refreshing and different from the books I am used to, I was glued to it since the beginning. Do you want to know why? The plot…. it was totally a surprise (lately I try not to read the summary of the book before I start, I like surprises!) and it was a nice one.
Bryony Masters has spent the last years of her life searching for her missing sister, she left when she was 15…
But now, it seems more urgent to find her, their father has suffered a stroke and they are missing her so much… She has a crazy idea in mind, to appear in a new TV program called What Happens In… and ask for help nationwide. She thinks that if she exposes her case, maybe someone will recognise her sister Hannah and they will contact her. So, when she discovers that she has been accepted in the program, she starts working on her plan. The only think that she doesn’t expect is to have a handsome partner and some very friendly competitors, that will help her as much as they can!
Of course the tests they will have to solve will not be easy, so winning the competition will be a big challenge, but don’t worry, the tests are hilarious, you’ll enjoy all of them! And remember that you will be taking a small trip to France with them, so enjoy the holidays!
There will be a little bit of romance, yes, but is not the main part of the story and even if they make a cute couple, it’s not the interesting part of the plot, is Bryony and her sister Hannah… And discover if they will reunite after so many years… What do you think?
You’ll have to read What Happens In France to know the end, enjoy! 😉
