It's interesting to think about people's desires and wishes, about what we'd wish for in material possessions and also with regards to life dreams if anything were possible. I liked the issues the story prompted me to think about, although I didn't always agree with Jocelyne's feelings. It would probably make a good book for a reading group to discuss over a glass of wine or two. Overall, I came away with mixed emotions. I think if you're prepared for this to not be the happy ever after ending that the pretty button cover promises then you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. I found it an engaging, easy and fast read, but just felt a little sadder than I'd expected to at the end!
We also have a review of Delacourt's [[The First Thing You See by Gregoire Delacourt|The First Thing You See]].
Another interesting French book in translation to try is [[Will You Be There? by Guillaume Musso]]
