This charming novel traces the fortunes of a self-centred young wannabe
who decides, for very little reason, to seek her fortune as a celebrity
hairstylist in Paris. Her staggering ineptitude causes her to end up
somewhere very different. I shan't say more about the actual plot for
fear of spoiling.
Although the protagonist is technically adult, this is very much a 'coming of age' story and, like all Ramsey's work, written with warmth, humour and a wonderful willingness to depart from the beaten track. There's nothing 'same old' about this romance, despite its use of the age-old 'prince disguised as a frog' trope. It's original, well-written and, unlike so many 'romances' that one sees nowadays, pleasantly wholesome. I enjoyed it very much.
Readers of Ramsey's other work will not be disappointed, and new readers will no doubt clog the airwaves as they search out her backlist.
