In Provence, a burned-out reality show star embarks down a path of self-renovation in a witty and enlightening novel about celebrity, love, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human heart. Who is the real Plum Everly? Wouldn't she like to know. Raised in front of the cameras on her family's hit reality show, Plum has reluctantly ridden the wave of D-list fame for way too long. Fading under the spotlight, she's ready to ditch Hollywood forever when a new opportunity arises: a DIY in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Château Mirabelle and Plum's identity. Both in need of restoration. Bienvenue en France. The village is gracious and welcoming. Elliott Schaffer, the flirty head of production, isn't bad either. But it's Mirabelle itself--a symbol of courage reaching back to World War II--that pushes the show in a new direction. Focusing on its profound connection to history, Plum and Elliott are developing a greater appreciation for the legendary château and, along the way, for each other. The best part of this makeover of the heart and soul? Plum gets to write her own ending. This time, for the first time, her life is going to be the real thing.
This was a sweet, feel-good (if predictable- the nasty surprise Plum got was pretty obvious all along) story that makes me wish for a trip to Provence. A soft pick.
