Madame Sylvie WELL WOW Celine does CPR Honestly everything but the kitchen sink plot WHO CARES 😅😂😵💫 OY
AmyGOy, indeed. WTF was the point of the CPR on his kid???? It was ridiculous.3mo
CoffeeNBooksI 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
KarisaI 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
KarisaMadame 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
IndoorDameMadam 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
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
DebinHawaiiThere 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
julieclairI enjoyed Madame Sylvie - off the rails, for sure, but a fun ride nonetheless.3mo
mollyrotondoI 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
