"Very cute book and an easy read. The characters were easy to understand, and it was lighthearted. A nice break from the usual. There were more religious references than I normally appreciate, but it wasn't overwhelming. Once again, I enjoyed reading the French phrases!"

    " Fun book to read about a girl who fulfills her dream to go to France and goes there to study pastry making and working in a pastry shop. She leaves a serious suitor behind with no strings and goes off on her dream. The beginning is filled with anxiety and loneliness as she embarks on her journey, but she makes friends through doing her job day in and day out. She entertains romance and experiences a growth promoting experience. The book has some serious Christian themes which I enjoyed and found unusual due to a seemingly regular book. "

    " I thought this book was really Comical. It's about a girl who moves from america to france to become a professional pastry chef. She has a lot of big choices to make like stay in france or go back to america. This book also has a couple of good recipes as well. "

    " Loving this so far! It's especially interesting after reading Chateau of Echoes by Siri Mitchell, which had a lot of detail on France and French cooking - reading this right now almost makes it okay that Chateau of Echoes is over... and this one is very well-written. "

    " Light fare for chicks,riddled with erroneous French expressions, but still enjoyable to read. A young baker from Seattle trades job with a French woman for a year, to study at a prestigious Parisian baking school and to work at a couple of boulangeries. A fresh, credible story wends its ways through hackneyed cliches of the American moving to France, finding first isolation and culture abysses but eventually some balance and delicate romance. Best of all, the female character is Christian; she is chaste, prays daily for guidance, reads the Bible, and goes to an anglophone church, deploring the defunct, individualistic faith of her adoptive country. I chanced upon this book right after watching the movie "Julie and Julia", and the freezing (Minnesotan) holidays provided many opportunities to test all these theories about cooking and eating - I even had a close encounter with Betty Crocker and the Pillbury Doughboy at the Mills City Museum in Minneapolis!

    " This book had potential to be soo great! I found that its overly Christian parts took away from that. I believe in God and everything but I just can't stand when religion is forced onto me as it was in this book. Other than that I loved all the talking about baking as I like to bake myself <3 I also liked that I could relate to Lexi as I am the same age and going through the same dilemma's in life. "

    " An easy, fast read that leaves one with a good feeling. I'd be tempted to argue for a strong 3.5 rating, but the book was a little too preachy in some places, for my taste. "
