I was expecting an atmospheric, twisty mystery, but this ended up being more of a slow-burn version of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The premise had a lot of potential, but the execution fell flat. Not much really happened, and the plot felt aimless at times. I could see where things were heading pretty early on, which took away some of the suspense. I kept waiting for a big twist or shocking reveal, but when it finally came, it didn\u2019t feel all that surprising. Something just felt missing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That being said, the book was a quick read, and I kept turning the pages hoping for something more. What I did enjoy was the dynamic between the stepsisters\u2014their tension and back-and-forth made for some entertaining moments. I was curious about each character\u2019s true motives, but overall, the story wasn\u2019t as gripping as I\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This leaned more towards a slow-burn mystery, while I was in the mood for a fast-paced, twisty thriller. However, the setting was vividly described and almost felt like a character itself, which added to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/the-french-honeymoon-by-anne-sophie-jouhanneau\/\">The French Honeymoon by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The French Honeymoon by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau on April 15, 2025 Genres: Fiction \/ Thrillers \/ Suspense Pages: 288 Buy on Amazon Goodreads I was so excited for this book\u2014the cover immediately drew me in, and I thought it would have a similar feel to The Paris Apartment.
