I like the premise of this book but, I found the main characters to be too agreeable. They don't really express emotion. Trying not to give anything away, I found Thomas to be a soft, underwhelming character. His fiancee, Armelle has been missing for a year and when he finds out what happened to her he does not seem to express surprise, shock, elation, or relief. He just accepts what is being said and walks blindly forward and away from Dana.

The way Dana reacts to Thomas's revelations about Armelle is simply a let down especially after their wonderful weekend in Giverny and Bordeaux. Was she in shock? At a loss for words? They just turn around and go their seperate ways. And, if that wasn't bad enough, Dana's total and immediate acceptance of Thomas's sudden appearance and declarations is just too easy. I would be hard pressed to give Thomas a pass so quickly considering how he did not seem to care about Dana's feelings in regards to Armelle.

Overall, the book is good and the supporting characters, Dana's son, Liviu, Dana's mother, and her friends make the story more interesting and provide the emotion and personality that Dana and Thomas seem to lack.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
