To say it was bad would be an understatement. At the time I added it to my list this book was a new arrival at one of the two libraries I went to but I put it off for a while to get books from the other library until I finally picked it up and read it. When I finished it, I was underwhelmed because there were so many flaws I could never fully enjoy the story so I won't reread this. It starts with the main character Antoine (whose last name I don't know and if you're wondering if this novel was French once, it was originally published in French before being published in English last year at the time of writing) living his life as a movie director when he rejects a movie from another significant character called Emma. Antoine didn't get lost by any means rather he (for one reason or another) chased after her to apologise and so he sets off on a road trip (out of all the actions he could've done he chose that which is strange when I think about it.) Really? He could've sent an email, used Skype or even wrote a letter but he didn't do any of those which makes the narrative more unrealistic than necessary. The story soon turned into a romance and I didn't mind stories like those as long as they had a great execution (This book wasn't one of them. Shame.) The final few pages didn't save it either as all it did was fizzle out. Ah well. I'll move on to the next book. ( )
