A must read.

The Arrangement by Melissa Tereze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


As I might have said here before, with only two books of hers I read, she's become one of my four top favourite authors. Seeing and hering her on the GCLS Vroom event also helped a lot.

The arrangement is playing a reasonably common trope, but so far I have read only one other novel, that rivals all I find here, too, a highly inventive plot, fantastic writing, incredibly well worked characters who are almost instantly lovable, an age difference that doesn't matter to either of both women and neither does the fact, that they meet through one being an escort at the time of their first encounter. The other book I am talking about is in French called "Escorte Moi". Both are slow moving delicate romances with meddling friends and former lovers and in both cases it is the maturity of the ladies involved, that helps them finding one another in the end.

I had not even the slightest doubt in both cases to happily click the five stars. "The Arrangement" definitively is an absolute must read in my opinion. If you actually read French, don't miss "Escorte Moi" either.
