Zola has finally made her dream of opening her own café come true the heart of the South, and it's up to her and her best friend and business partner Pierre to make it a success, even with a Michelin starred bistro opposite them.


I absolutely adored this book. I will be reading the other two in the series. I actually hope there may be more to hear about Zola and Darshan's life, successes, and maybe even failures? (I hope not!)


It's a very gripping story of romance, determination and difficulties, but all done tastefully. The sex scenes aren't too crude and are almost poetic. I enjoyed finding out about some of the characters pasts. The only complaint I have is I was just wanting more. I wanted to know all of the back stories - where they came from, why they behaved that way, etc.


A big congrats Mathis a super job.

Spielbergian drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks and supposedly based on the true-life story of Frank Abagnale Jr (I wonder how much of it is, how much made up, and how much dramatised?), with DiCaprio playing the role of Frank Abagnale, who successfully bluffed his way into work as a co-pilot at a major airway, as a doctor and as a lawyer all before he reached his 18th birthday.

In order to do so, he also forged numerous official documents, which brings him to the attention of Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), who makes it his mission to capture Abagnale, with the two then forming a sort of co-dependent relationship on each other.

It's not a bad movie by any means, with it also attempting to provide some form of justification/explanation for Frank's actions through the lens of his childhood and his relationships with his parents, although I did find it a little slow to start with.
