Not Quite Nice
Not Quite Nice | Celia Imrie
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Theresa is desperate for a change. Forced into early retirement, fed up with babysitting her bossy daughter's obnoxious children, she sells her Highgate house and moves to the picture-perfect town of Bellevue-sur-Mer, just outside Nice. With its beautiful villas, its bustling cafes and shimmering cerulean sea, the village sparkles like a diamond on the French Mediterranean coast. Once the hideaway of artists and writers, it is now home to the odd rock icon and Hollywood movie star, and, as Theresa soon discovers, a close-knit set of expats. There's Carol, the infinitely glamorous American and her doting husband David; the erstwhile British TV star Sally; the ferocious Sian and her wayward Australian poet husband; the sharply witty Zoe with her strangely youthful face and penchant for white wine ? and the suave Brian who catches Theresa's eye. As Theresa settles to the gentle rhythm of seaside life she embraces her new-found friendships and freedom. However, life is never quite as simple as it seems and as skeletons start to fall out of several closets, Theresa begins to wonder if life on the French Riviera is quite as nice as it first appeared.

This little series of books, written by the actress Celia Imrie, is a nice (pun intended) fluffy read...

I‘ve been to Nice a few times and it‘s lovely to be able to picture where the action is happening.

Beach Book Number 3 and I can't wait. I've read it before but it's been a while. It reminds me of movies like Saving Grace, Calendar Girls, and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 👍❤️🌞

I recommend this book to fans of movies like Best Exotic Marigold Hotel or Calendar Girls - it's fun, it's sweet, the characters are engaging and I couldn't read it fast enough. I really wish it were a series - book and/or tv! I would happily follow these characters on adventures.

CherylC This sounds like one I would enjoy. 8y
