The Little Bookshop on the Seine by Rebecca Raisin is
a light-hearted read about two bookshop owners who decide to trade spaces for
six months. Sarah Smith, from small town Ashford, Connecticut, heads to Paris
to swap with her friend Sophie. Sarah yearns to go to Paris, and Sophie needs
to escape a love affair gone sour.
Sarah’s journalist boyfriend Ridge Warner can rendezvous
in Paris just as easily as in Ashford with his jet-setting freelance job.
However, his endeavors consume so much time and energy, he can find little time
for Sarah. Meanwhile in America, the community and Sarah’s friends embrace Sophie
who heals her broken heart.
Beside man problems, Sarah deals with trouble at the
bookshop on the Seine when the till is short over and over again, and the staff
will not embrace a set work schedule. Soon sales plummet, and Sarah worries she
is losing money for Sophie. On the other side of the ocean, Sophie has employed
a number of business practices that are increasing Sarah’s business.
Will Sarah actually ever get out to see the sites in
Paris or will she work non-stop trying to find the thief and bring some solidarity
to the staff? Is Ridge The One or not? Is Paris all she thought it would be?
This is my first experience with author Rebecca Raisin,
who pens Romance, Chick Lit, and Contemporary novels. With this book, she
begins the The Little Paris Collection series.
