I finished 40% of the book in 15 minutes, so I guess the whole thing probably took less than an hour to read. 5 star rating for the Amazon store and author, but 3 star rating for my personal tastes.
Very short and extremely easy read for a language learner. Level is A2 but I think it could be read by a level A1, at the very least with some help (if this were read in a classroom setting). When my French was not as good as it is now, I read Ollie Richard's "Easy French Stories for Beginners" and OMG, they are NOT for those first year/level 1 learners lol. I read them as more of a beginner and found them challenging, but I still DID it. However, I am an adult learner who has more discipline, stamina, and background knowledge than younger learners.
Anyway, my point is that this book was TOO easy for me, but it could be a really good level for an early learner. However, the interest level is more along the lines of an adult vs the younger audience, so that is where I find the issue. Because the language is so easy, it leans to the side of not natural, which also limits my motivation and enjoyment of the text. However, if you want some confidence or you are an independent learner, this can really give you the feeling of being successful as a learner.
Overall, this book is designed to be something a beginning French learner can read, and it is manageable for that audience, so it is definitely 5 stars for the design. However, there is not much of a compelling story, it was just reading text for the sake of reading text, which is why it is not a true 5 star read for me. From a language teacher perspective, I write texts exactly like this for my students (my own novels will be coming out in the future, so look for them!), which is why I will not knock this text in itself. I like putting myself in a language learner's shoes, and learning a third language has provided me with valuable insight on how to challenge my students better, which I realized I am happy I get to self-select texts!

One book specific funny critique I have is that Danielle is on a date and she says things look so good that she wants to order two dishes, and her date says, "No, only order ONE..."
(dot dot dot)
"...because we are going to go out on another date and you can order the other!"
Just thought it sounded almost rude in a way, because if a girl wants to order two entrees, let the girl order two entrees (second date pending or not!)! (insert laughing emoji here)

A welcome addition to the available material for learners of French. There are quite a few adventure books available for adolescents via various publishers, a few crime mysteries, and a sprinkling of general fiction, but not that many romances for adults, so this is a good niche for this author to work in. I think the only other author that has several FLE romances is France Dubin.
If romance is your preferred genre, and you're at A2/B1 level, it's definitely worth giving Kit Ember's offerings a shot.

Very silly but almost entirely comprehensible with a bit of stretching vocab and showing slightly (ok relatively, but compared to text books and newspapers) normaler discussions.
