Book Review: A French Girl in New York

You're probably very sick of me saying 'Now I've finished uni I can do fun things again!' but I really do feel like I'm rediscovering all the little things I enjoy, like reading. Like I've said before, I'm powering through some books I've wanted to read for ages, so here is another in a long line of book reviews coming your way...

I like to download free books on my Kindle now and again, and this was one I downloaded a while ago. It looked like a fun, girly book, an easy but enjoyable read. I thought it would be just like many other free chick flicks I have previously downloaded from Amazon, but how wrong I was about this one!

It begins with the story of an orphan who is taken in by friends of her parents after their death. Maud has a talent for music and gets discovered by a New York record label owner which soon finds the plot unravelling at a fairly speedy pace.

I found I was reading this book everywhere; on the train, in Starbucks, before bed... I just couldn't put it down! It was very refreshing to read a free novel that wasn't just about a glitzy PR girl who falls in love with a restaurant owner who happens to own 3 villas abroad and an Aston Martin... you get the picture. What makes this book so different is it's original plot, with a not entirely predictable twist at the end, making it a real, heart warming success story. 

Once I had finished reading this, I did a little research on the author. I like to know a little about the author as a) I'm nosy, b) I find it interesting to see what may have inspired the book (the literature student within me just can't help myself), and c) to find out what else they have written. 

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Anna Adams, author of A French Girl in New York, is currently a law student as well as continuing to write and travel! How amazing is that?! 

I'm also extremely happy that Anna has written several other books in the 'French Girl' series which I can't wait to get my hands on and read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wishes to embark on a heartfelt journey with a set of loveable, well described characters.

Let me know if you have read this, or if you pick it up in the future!

Thanks for reading x
