The kind of heart-wrenching tale that grips said heart in a vise grip from the get-go and doesn't let up until the very last page! This one read very easy and it flowed nicely - I read the English translation and I can only imagine the beauty of the words in the original French. It was poignant, dramatic, heart-wrenching - in short, drama at its best! Really enjoyed this one throughout

I enjoyed The I Was Meant to Live a lot! If I remember correctly, I requested the copy through Netgalley because of the beautiful cover but the story really spoke to me.

The novel speaks of changes, life, family, secrets, second chances and a little bit of romance – and most of it happens in the beautiful streets of Paris!

It was an easy and really beautiful read!

This was a beautifully written, thought provoking read that really had me captivated from the start.
The characters were wonderful and detailed. The storyline is well plotted and keeps you engaged throughout.
A thoroughly enjoyable read that I would certainly recommend to others.

A life affirming and enjoyable book that kept me hooked.
Great characters and storytelling, a fascinating plot, vivid description of the places.
I loved the Book of Wonders by this author and loved this one.
Strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This book had it all for me and it is one of those that i will be going out to buy as soon as it is on the shelves. The writing flowed beautifully and i felt for all the characters. Sure to be a new favourite author to add to my list!! Great read!

An absolutely beautiful and uplifting novel about the power of love we all have within us. The bond between the sisters that were unaware of each other’s existence is the focal point of this wonderful drama. Highly recommended!
