Weird premise, and if someone stole my bag and someone else found it and came to my apartment while I was in a coma and knew everything about me while I knew nothing about him, I'd call the police and move apartments. But I guess they're just french? It was cute if you ignore all that

Short, sweet, perfect if you're looking something light to read!
I really enjoyed Laurent's character. And the fact that it takes in Paris and is described quite well takes it up a notch!

Kurgusunda kitap, kitapçı olan kitapları çok seviyorum. Bir aşk ilişkisini anlatan hikaye keyifle akıp gitti.
Haliyle çok şey beklenecek bir kitap değil ama çapraz okumalarda zorlu kitapların eşlikçisi olur, otobüste, sahilde zaman geçirmek için okunur.
Normalde 3 yıldız verecektim bana uzun zamandır yazmadığım günlüğümü hatırlattığı için 4 yıldız.

Appropriate to finish this book on Valentine’s Day. A sweet, predictable tale of a man who finds a purse and goes about trying to find the owner. The ending is not surprising, but touchingly romantic.

Not terrible, but not my cup of tea or particularly worthwhile. I finished it because it was extremely short (the last third is at least an improvement, but not so much I'd tell anyone to bother?). Very much... a straight man who thinks he is romantic wrote this.

A gem of a story for fans of A. J. Fikry and Arthur Pepper

A beautiful little book, more a novella than a novel, that I stumbled on in a used bookstore. I love these little discoveries; I love stumbling upon an author I had never known and then being taken away on a journey into their mind.
This book is quite with a good heart. It reminds me a bit of Frederick Backman. It is about a romance of sorts but is not a romance novel. Recently somebody asked me what I like to read and I struggled to answer. He didn't know what I meant by literary fiction, and really, that is such a sup-par categorization. I think I ended up saying that I like to read about people and their interior lives and the lives they live. Not the most elegant way to say it, but that is what I like to read and this book is exactly that.
