Madame Sylvie
WELL WOW
Celine does CPR
Honestly everything but the kitchen sink plot
WHO CARES 😅😂😵‍💫
OY

AmyG Oy, indeed. WTF was the point of the CPR on his kid???? It was ridiculous. 3mo

CoffeeNBooks I feel like author had a list of things she wanted to include (or maybe it was a dare from someone to include these random things 😆), and she had to figure out how/where to put them in the plot. Or she had other storylines in mind and forgot about them or ran out of time to include them. 🙄 3mo

Librarybelle @AmyG Other than to make Gil fall in love with Celine quickly??? It‘s a good question! 3mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks A DARE!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 3mo

Karisa I was listening on audiobook for this last part and must‘ve missed this. So easy to get distracted by someone asking a question or doze off with an audiobook. CPR on Martin then?! Oh my! WTH! 😅 3mo

Karisa Madame Sylvie was kinda fun. I like a good supernatural moment with room to wonder as long as they don‘t oversell it. 🔮😜 3mo

Karisa @CoffeeNBooks 🤔 That must happen sometimes. I‘d totally sneak in things to amuse myself if I was an author 😂 3mo

mcctrish @Karisa I liked Madame Sylvie too and @CoffeeNBooks I think it‘s more a case of graphing out the story and all the possibilities and not being willing to cut any ( and the editor having no spine) 3mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I blame the editor!!! It‘s literally their job!!! 3mo

TheBookHippie @Karisa oh I would sneak in Easter eggs for sure! 3mo

IndoorDame @CoffeeNBooks a dare would be too funny 😂😂👏👏 3mo

IndoorDame @mcctrish totally the editor‘s fault! If the author can‘t self edit that‘s what they‘re there for! 3mo

Karisa @IndoorDame @TheBookHippie @mcctrish They should hire us all to group edit. We‘d manage their mischief 😂 3mo

IndoorDame Madam Sylvie was such an odd choice. Actually running around based off of visions and having them sort of pan out in a story with zero spiritual/supernatural undertones makes me question Celine and the author a tad… 3mo

TheBookHippie @Karisa agree. ♥️🎉 3mo

mcctrish @Karisa #mischiefmanagers 3mo

AmyG @Librarybelle I thought that, too…Gil would see her in a different light because of that. BUT…that wasn‘t what happened. The event seemed to be a one-off. @IndoorDame Sylvie…exactly. It was just pure laziness on the author‘s part. (edited) 3mo

Read4life Maybe we should change our group name. #mischiefmanagers @mcctrish 🤣🤣 3mo

Larkken Hmph. Well, at least I like #actionceline more than #mopeyceline 3mo

IndoorDame @Karisa @mcctrish @TheBookHippie @Read4life we will make excellent #mischiefmanagers 🤣🤣 3mo

vlwelser This novel went totally off the rails. Madame Sylvie is sort of fun. But a weird narrative choice. 3mo

vonnie862 I laughed. A psychic, really?! 3mo

DebinHawaii There were so many scratch my head or really shake my heads moments. I felt like the CPR was a “How do I get these two crazy kids in love when I‘m nearing the end of the book & they barely interact?!?!” idea. & the Madam Sylvie was her answer to “Wait! How do I give her some way to find the damn painting because I‘m nearing the end of the book?!?!” Definitely in need of better editing. I am here for the group editing & mischief managing! 😉🤣 3mo

julieclair @CoffeeNBooks A dare!!! Or… I know that sometimes authors donate their time/talent to charity auctions. Maybe someone bid on her and she had to include some plot elements of their choosing. 🤣 3mo

julieclair I enjoyed Madame Sylvie - off the rails, for sure, but a fun ride nonetheless. 3mo

mollyrotondo @Read4life @Karisa @mcctrish Mischief Managers ❤️ 3mo

mollyrotondo I was so confused by the psychic introduction lol I didn‘t realize these characters were into the mystic arts. It‘s fine that she was the neighbor that found Ondine when she died but she became an integral part in the story too late in the book. And the Celine thing 🙄 her whole story was boring to me. It started off super interesting but then dragged on once she got to France. 3mo

Karisa @mollyrotondo 😂🥰 3mo

Now we get to finish…. Any guess how this ties up??

vlwelser I like Celine more but the story itself seems to be losing steam. 4mo

IndoorDame @vlwelser I think my favorite Celine is action hero Celine. When she‘s getting arrested, or rushing to clandestine meetings on yachts 😆 4mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 😂 4mo

AmyG I think action Celine finds the painting and helps out Gil buy the mas. 4mo

CoffeeAndABook Looking forward to the last stretch of the book! Things obviously turned around for Ondine and she gets back on her feet. But I have no idea how the Celine story line will continue. She‘ll somehow be able to help her mom out and get back at her awful siblings, of that I‘m pretty sure. Ok, at least I hope so 🙂 4mo

vonnie862 Can't wait to finish! 4mo

mcctrish I think #actionceline finds the painting and invests in the Mas, Gil gets to use Ondine‘s recipes and there‘s probably some kissing 4mo

Librarybelle My guess: Celine and Gil get together. She tells him her family story. It somehow connects them. Maybe she finds the painting??? 4mo

kspenmoll I am thinking like @Librarybelle that she finds the painting & she & Gill get together. I think her Aunt sees that relationship happening or at least thinks they are a good match & hopes for it 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @AmyG That's my guess, too! 4mo

DebinHawaii I agree that she does ultimately find the painting & helps Gil. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds & ties to the yacht scene at the beginning of the book. 4mo

mollyrotondo I can‘t wait to see how this ties into the yacht scene at the beginning 😂 feels like that was forever ago 😂 3mo
