Books, friends and twist and turns

Yes, we judge books by its cover and of course books about books we start reading just because of the topic: a book club! Of course it is like reading a book just because of the cover, you can get disappointed. Going to Bordeaux like Leah and her family did sounds lovely but it isn't all French flowers and nice wine. The life they dreamt of when they left it behind them abroad isn't going as smoothly as wished and when Nathan starts to leave the house for some time alone, Leah knows something is wrong. Her escape is the book club which Grace started. Monica is a young mother who joins to improve her French and have some contact with adults, George also left his life behind for a while after a break up and the young Alfie has a difficult time too. But through the books they discuss they get a glimpse of each their life and person, each so different from eachother. They open a little bit more and the easiness of discussing books opens also a new life for this eclectic group of foreigners. A cute, relaxing story is the Bordeaux book club, but also a story which develops at a nice, calm pace with just the right amount of twist and turns, mysteries. Like a nice Matcha latte that you drank enough too know how it will be, but every time surprises you a little bit still. That is what happened for me in this nothing special but still at the same time very beautiful story of new challenges, friendship, life and it's beauty but also troubles.
