Sweet and heartwarming.

Short, sweet and fun. There's a lot packed in to this heartwarming story. From long-term friendship, self-love and a beautiful relationship, all the way to conquering Everest. Following Cindi through her journey was a great experience, little things felt like I could really relate to her. She's kind and compassionate with insecurities that almost everyone has from time to time. Luckily she has her best friend Tara by her side. They make a great pair, thought the chemistry that they're both hiding makes Cindi blush up a storm!!
    Two characters well written and supported by some equal fun and interesting other characters, makes for a nice cozy afternoon read. Worth having some chocolates to hand for this one.

For those that know me, truly know me, know that one of my favorite genres to read, is historical fiction. More specifically, the WWII era. So, when I was browsing books at B&N one day, I came across this book. First, let me say, the cover is enough to hook me! It’s gorgeous. Second, once my dad surprised me with it, I devoured it. Or, rather, it devoured me and kept me hooked til the end.

This book is not full of fluff and rhyme. Yes, there is a bit of romance woven in, but the author is taking the reader on a journey of self discovery. The reader is on a journey with the characters, feeling the heartache of the war, the pain, and sacrifice that went with running from the Nazi’s and helping with the escape efforts of the pilots.

Each page turn, Harmel gives something more to the reader. She intricately weaves a story that you become a part of. Ruby, Charlotte and Thomas all make their way into the reader’s heart. The depth of emotions is felt wholly, the detail to the history is vivid and clear.

Harmel’s THE ROOM ON RUE AMELIE is a novel that all historical fiction lovers should grab. It will consume you and keep you until the last page is turned. If I could give this book a thousand stars I would. But, alas, I can give it 5 stars. This is a book that I won’t forget and will be sharing with my friends many times over.
