BOOK REVIEW- WHAT IF IT'S LOVE?


Two totally different young people meet at a parisian resturant, La Boheme.  One is a shy heiress named Lena, who just happens to be living and studying in Paris.  And the other is also a student named Rob who is a waiter at that same Bistro.  Things are brewing, and both are becoming more attracted by the minute.  Too bad Rob has a secret that could ruin everything.

This story starts out slow, with us getting to know both people as the story unfolds.  Its a young people's love story with all the foolish mistakes that they often make at that age.   As I was reading, I began to think, " Hmm, pretty predictable  story".   Then all of a sudden there was a curve in the story, one I WASN'T expecting.  That happened several different times. 
For me, I don't usually enjoy poetry all that much and in this book it felt like a lot of information went into the career path that Lena was on. That included the poet that inspired her, (Marina Tsvetaeva) and poems written by her.  Later I could see how Marina made an impact on Lena and her story.

 I also found the secondary characters quite interesting too.  I really liked Jeanne and Mat, and Pepe.  It made me wonder if there would be more on Jeanne and Mat.    I liked the "teaser" glimpse into another book about La Boheme, that features them ("Under My Skin).
