The Little Bookshop on the Seine

Written by Rebecca Raisin

Narrated by Sally Scott

It’s The Holiday on the Champs-Élysées in a great big love letter to Paris, charming old bookstores and happily-ever-afters!

When bookshop owner Sarah Smith is offered the opportunity for a job exchange with her Parisian friend Sophie, saying yes is a no-brainer—after all, what kind of romantic would turn down six months in Paris? Sarah is sure she’s in for the experience of a lifetime—days spent surrounded by literature in a gorgeous bookshop, and the chance to watch the snow fall on the Eiffel Tower. Plus, now she can meet up with her journalist boyfriend, Ridge, when his job takes him around the globe.

But her expectations cool faster than her café au lait soon after she lands in the City of Light—she’s a fish out of water in Paris. The customers are rude, her new coworkers suspicious and her relationship with Ridge has been reduced to a long-distance game of phone tag, leaving Sarah to wonder if he’ll ever put her first over his busy career. As Christmas approaches, Sarah is determined to get the shop—and her life—back in order…and make her dreams of a Parisian happily-ever-after come true.

Reviews for The Little Bookshop on the Seine

[Tiffany · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I really wanted to love this book. I felt the story was kind of slow to start. I am not sure if it was the the narration or the story itself. This was my second book by Rebecca Raisin. I will try more of her books in the future.

[Stephs Romance Book Talk · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

SERIOUSLY! This story started off funny and sweet only to end with me wanting to throw my device. Sarah was a doormat, Ridge was a douche, and all the other characters were superficial. I did enjoy the accents used by the narrator but even those slipped sometimes.

[Patricia Mankin · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book reminds me of a Disney princess movie in a bad way. Throw your life away and waste your time on a stupid guy. Also the character Cece was based on black stereotypes. Not okay…
