The Audrey Hepburn Estate

The Audrey Hepburn Estate is an interesting and enjoyable story.

What appealed to you the most in this story?

I found myself drawn into the history and drama.

Anything I should know before picking this up?

This is one of those books you have to go into knowing that you’re just reading it for fun. Pretty much everything in the book is unrealistic and there are some plot holes, so I think it’s wise to know that before you read.

How was the romance?

I didn’t really feel a romantic relationship develop and blossom in a realistic way between the characters. Instead, it felt really surface level, and almost like it was thrown into the story in order to create another layer. I mean, even when they ended up taking the relationship to the physical level it didn’t fit in or seem logical at all.

Steam level: Kissing and closed door.

Trope: Second chance

Anything bother you in this book?

So, the movie Sabrina was mentioned, and a misunderstanding about the actual location the movie was filmed at was cleared up. That’s it. No more Audrey. I was a bit upset by the misleading title. However, in the Author’s Note at the end there are a lot of fun Hepburn facts and tidbits.

I also thought Emma’s character was quite immature in the way she dealt with relationships and her own history throughout the story.

How was the pace?

I flew through the first 1/3 of this book, but the rest of the story really slowed down and began to meander and become repetitive, which lead to me loosing interest.

Do you recommend this book?

If you are just looking for an enjoyable and light story that incorporates drama and WWII history, then give this one to try!
