The Red Notebook

"This was a delightful read! I would definitely recommend it."

— Julia (4/5)

Nice Read

"This was a wonderful little book that made me happy. It is listed as a light romance, but it was so much more. Set in France and translated from French, the reader is drawn in by the main character Laurent, who's gentleman nature carries him through a little mystery searching for a complete stranger. I liked this book, I enjoyed it's depth for being a short read, and I thought the writing was clever."

— AliasNayNay (4/5)

page turner!

"my new favorite book! maybe those people who are not romantic they will think the guy's decision to find the owner of the bag is kinda creepy, no other clue, just the owner's first name, for me it's romantic that he found a special connection with that person and he was so curious to find out who owns that red notebook. great story, page turner and I just can't put the book down, now I bought 2 more books from the same author and I can't wait to read it."

— Jemalyn (5/5)

Light & sweet

"A good read for the pool or by the sea. Simple and entertaining."

— QuietDay (3/5)

Quick and entertaining

"Easy to read. Quick, cute and entertaining."

— Clara (4/5)

'In equal parts an offbeat romance, detective story and a clarion call for metropolitans to look after their neighbours. . . . Reading The Red Notebook is a little like finding a gem among the bric-a-brac in a local brocante' The Telegraph

'Resist this novel if you can; it’s the very quintessence of French romance' The Times

'Definitely a heartwarming tale' San Diego Book Review

'Soaked in Parisian atmosphere, this lovely, clever, funny novel will have you rushing to the Eurostar post-haste. . . . the perfect French holiday read' Daily Mail

'This tender and charming romance, written with characteristic Gallic flair, is part mystery and part love story. Flawlessly written, it does everything just right and, at the end, leaves a smile of satisfaction' Foreword Reviews 

'An instant, flawless masterpiece of Parisian perfection' The Bookbag

'An endearing love story written in beautifully poetic prose. It is an enthralling mystery about chasing the unknown, the nostalgia for what could have been, and most importantly, the persistence of curiosity' San Francisco Book Review

'A warm whimsical romantic cozy in which the location and the support cast bring plausibility to Laurent’s quest that will remind the audience of the movie Serendipity' Midwest Book Review

'With elements of mystery, romance, and drama coupled with the effervescence and charm of Amélie, The Red Notebook is a perfectly delightful and bubbly tale' Typographical Era

'This is a novel you read with a smile on your face and a thirst to find out how it ends' Elle
