    I chuckled throughout! The social commentary was sharp. A fun, quick read for a rainy afternoon.

  2. Aakanksha Singh

    I loved the setting and witty dialogue. The characters were complex and the story had a nice depth.

  3. Sahil Kushwaha Kushwaha

    I was hoping for a more gripping story, but it was just okay. Predictable and unoriginal in my opinion

  4. Sakshi Trivedi

    I found the plot predictable and the characters somewhat flat. It was an easy read, but I wasn’t blown away.

  5. Pranab Mehrishi

    A light and amusing read! Grace’s fish-out-of-water experience was relatable, though the plot felt a bit thin. Enjoyable overall.

    A decent read, but nothing special. I liked the setting, but the story felt a bit disjointed.

    A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the ending was worth the wait. Overall, a solid story.

    I enjoyed the book overall, but some parts dragged on a bit. The ending was satisfying, though. Nice read.

    Enjoyed the humor and the French setting. A charming story with flawed but likable characters. Highly recommend.

  13. Wagisha Mittal

    Grace’s struggles were poignant, but the constant focus on fashion felt superficial. Mixed feelings about this one.

  14. Cyra Sumit

    The Blessing was okay. It was a quick read, but nothing spectacular. I prefer Holland’s historical work more.

  15. Kabir Nagpal

    The book started strong but fizzled out a bit in the middle. The ending was satisfying. Overall, it’s good

  16. Tanya Jethwani

    Found the story engaging, but some of the characters felt a little stereotypical. Still, a pleasant escape.

    A well-written and charming story that kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters were relatable and lovable.

    Holland’s writing is witty, and the characters are intriguing, especially Sigi. The ending was a bit rushed, though.
