Summer at the Little French Cafe was my first book by Karen Clarke. I also happened to start in the middle of this series, but it really didn't keep me from enjoying the book. This was published by Bookouture on 06/27/2019.
Thirty-year-old Elle Matheson has decided it’s finally time to find the mother who gave her up as a baby. With a faded postcard from the Café Belle Vie in hand – one of the very few things she has from her mother – she heads straight to the Île de Ré to begin her search.
With only the postcard and the ivory shawl she was wrapped in as clues, finding her mum is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, even with the help of friendly – and gorgeous – café-owner Charlie. And since Elle hasn’t exactly told her younger sister what she’s up to, the little white lies about where she is are starting to add up…
But Elle is really starting to feel at home on the beautiful island. The locals are welcoming, the café is homely, and Charlie is always there with a helping hand, a listening ear, and a pain au chocolat.
This story was a typical chick-lit book. It was just the kind of light and adorable read that I needed to stack in between my thrillers and mystery books. Elle is a delightful girl. I really felt for her on her search for her true mother. I wanted so badly for her to find the happiness she seemed to deserve. The surrounding characters are interesting and funny. Elle pairs with them to create some very interesting plot points.
The description in this book was so wonderful. I felt like I could actually see this story. This was such a cute book, and I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to read it.
P.S. If you like this book, she has several others that look just as great. You can find her on Goodreads under Karen Clarke!
