I enjoyed this excerpt of Escape to the Swiss Chalet. I went in blind to the story, and the first two chapters did a great job of setting up the characters of Holly and George. The descriptions of food, and Holly’s work as a sommelier were mouthwatering and fascinating. However I think I’m most looking forward to reading more about Basil the kitten! His views on George are setting off alarm bells for me…

I’m really looking forward to picking up a copy of this book when it comes out, and getting back into the story!

Thank you to Aria & Aries, and NetGalley for an excerpt of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’m giving a rating of a three. The only reason being that it was only an excerpt and not enough of the story to truly define the character depth, plot of the story or relationship between the main characters. I’m very interested in buying the full length copy to give it a full review!

Thank you to NetGalley, Aria & Carrie for the except early read copy!

Those was a great start to a book! I was just getting into it when it ended! I'm looking forward to reading the rest! Thanks to NetGalley for this sneak-peak in exchange for my honest opinion.

Loved the excerpt! Quick look into the main characters. After just a few pages I am drawn to the characters. This small glimpse left me already wanting to know what happens next. I’m off to get the retaining the book in order to find out.

What a brief excerpt! Honestly, there wasn't enough plot movement for me to know whether I want to read the rest of the novel. The premise sounded cute enough but the story looks like it may move slowly.

The story is good.
Holly's motivation from being fired from her job to finding a new one which suits her interests is very positive.
I am looking forward to reading the entire story.

Margot is a little heavy handed in her advice, for me. Some people have the advice thing down, but I think it was too much here. George. No thanks on him. I am interested to see how Holly handles that drunken situation. Seems like she needs to figure herself out a bit.

✨overview of book✨.

Holly Roberts is well-known among family and friends for despising the cold, so no one is more surprised than her when she agrees to pack her bags and move to the Swiss Alps. But after getting her heart broken, spending the winter season working as a sous-chef for wealthy twins Genevieve and gorgeous Luca, is exactly what the doctor ordered..

Thank you to Netgalley for this excerpt.

The first two chapters have me intrigued to learn what happens next. The excerpt ends with George leaving the restaurant drunk after leaving a bar. Holly and George are planning on getting married and have put all of their money into a new house and their upcoming wedding. That's all we learn really in the first two chapters. George wants to be married by 30 and have two kids by 35.

Just from the first chapter I know It's right up my street, I've never heard of the Author before.

I cannot wait to read in full.

Didn’t realize this was only an excerpt, so I can’t really evaluate it. The word “excerpt” should really precede the title - it got buried on me. Sorry.
Thanks for the chance, NetGalley.

This one was okay. Being that it was just an excerpt, it didn’t leave me much to imagine or picture. It was very brisk and didn’t allow for the reader to really get into the story. George seems a though he’s a guy with a plan, but Holly doesn’t want to follow, or does so reluctantly. I imagine things go south a bit, but then pick back up. I wasn’t super enthralled with the storyline, but might could talk myself into reading more. Cover is darling!

I received an excerpt of this book from Netgalley in exchange for a free and honest review. I loved the first chapters that I read. Holly is an interesting character and I love some of the things she said such as the comment on her Gordon Ramsay cut out. Walker is very good at capturing her voice. I am planning to eventually read the whole book.

Well I’m certainly intrigued to see where this story will be going! Will definitely be reading the full book!

This seems like a nice winter read. The first two chapters reel you in to want more. I cannot wait to follow August's winter journey at the Swiss Chalet.

Thanks to Netgalley for letting me read an excerpt out of this winter book

I only had the extract to read from this book, therefore I only can give feedback to this part of the book. I liked the beginning of the story and how the story began, for me it happens a bit too much in the first chapters therefore I was a bit confused but I think if I had the rest of the book I would get into the story real quick. It sounded like a cute story, but that’s all I can say about the book because I don’t know what happens next there. To be honest now I am really curious what’s going to happen, but that’s why I am only giving it 2 stars, I only read few pages, I don’t know how the story will continue and I only can form my opinion on a few pages, there is simply too little material to evaluate it fairly. However, I think it has good potential.

I love the title and cover of this book, I feel like that alone will hook readers. The first two chapters I was given were adorable; this story has real potential and I’m excited to read it and see how it goes. Only critique for me would be that in chapter one the story doesn’t flow very well due to word choice. “Officially official” and “straightjacketed” are just some examples. With some switches, the story will flow much easier for the reader.

This excerpt definitely peaked my interest for this book! I think at some parts the writing wasn't as fluid and the descriptions were a little to deep. Regardless, I am interested to see where this story goes!

I only read the first chapter, that was what I was given with the ARC, and I unfortunately was not impressed.

The dialogue was very corny and felt extremely fake; almost like it was trying to jokingly impersonate Bridgerton. Also, I know I only read the first chapter, but it went from a serious couple with a Man who was very prim and proper to him all of a sudden showing up drunk to her work? I was left feeling confused.

I don't think I would have continued reading this book but I also don't like saying never.

I really appreciate Carrie Walker for allowing me to have a sneak peak at her book, Escape to the Swiss Chalet.

I really enjoyed the first two chapters of Escape to the Swiss Chalet that we get in this extract. The dialogue and relationships between characters, particularly Holly and her boss Margot, felt really natural and realistic. I liked that even from the start we aren't just focusing on Holly's romantic relationships but also her experience of trying to navigate life in her 20s, such as deciding whether to go for a job with a good salary or one that she enjoys. The pacing was spot on and I found that I flew through this extract and was wanting to read on when I reached the end.

I would love to read the rest of this story, especially as the Swiss chalet sounds like the perfect setting for a cozy, festive romance!
