Generally speaking I enjoy reading this kind of books where someone travels and/or relocates abroad, but some books are more engaging than others.

This one was a decent read but not very captivating. I somehow expected this to be more sparky and fun, but the humor was a bit "meh" most of the time. I'm not very fond of the whole romance concept as a major aim in life or as an important element in order to feel content at all times of one's life. And what is it with Brit male authors when it comes to French women? One way or another there seems to be some fetish or something. Even reading books by an author who has travelled on other countries, there isn't so strong a commentary or reference to local women as love targets on other countries, but mention France and there always seem to be some reference, been fullfilled by the end of the book or not. The direction this book got towards the end, disappointed me- I try not to write spoilers here.

Up to a point I enjoyed the description of local culture and rhythm of life and the author's efforts to adapt or come to terms with his decision to buy a house abroad, but I felt there wasn't much steam to keep the premise running and hold my interest. Actually I'm not even sure if there was a premise or theme or point to justify this book's existence.

An OK read to pass the time I guess, but nothing very memorable or noticeable.
