The blurb:
"A witty, warm-hearted romp
through the lives and loves of three friends – with a cool retro vibe, and a
sense of fun that will never go out of fashion." – Debbie Johnson, author
of the best-selling ‘Cold Feet At Christmas’.
Meet The Vintage Cinema Club….
Izzy is a wow at making unwanted
things pretty, but with three brothers and her shabby chic furniture business
to run she doesn’t have time to date. Could a fabulous French proposal change
her mind?
Single mum Luce’s vintage bridal
dresses are exquisite, but there’s no way she’s ever going to wear one or walk
down the aisle for that matter. She’s a strictly no romance, one night kind of
woman – or so she thinks…
Dida seems to have it all – a
chocolate and banana cake recipe to die for, lovely kids (most of the time!)
and a great lifestyle. But what good is a fabulous home, when your marriage has
more cracks than a pavlova and your husband is having it off with half of
Lithuania?
Three retro fabulous friends, in
love with all things vintage, run their dream business from the faded grandeur
of a rescued cinema. When that dream comes under threat, they’ll do whatever it
takes to save it.
Fans of Lucy Diamond, Michele
Gorman and Milly Johnson are going to love this heartfelt, funny story.
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher and the
author in exchange for an honest review*
The Vintage Cinema Club follows the story of
three friends: Izzy, Luce and Dida. The live all things vintage and they run their
dream business in an old cinema. When their business is in danger they do
everything to save it!!!
It’s the story of a friendship between three
very different women. Dida is older then the other two and has to deal with her
a** of a husband and her kids. She is strong and very independent. Luce is a
young single mum, who is not into the romance thing at all, until she meets
Ollie...
And then we have Izzy whi has no time to date,
but when she finds herself in France with gorgeous Xander her feelings take
over.
I loved their friendship, it was great to read
about.
The story is told from three different
persectives, but it turns out that Izzy ist he main focus. She was my
favourite, so it was okay and I liked the chemistry between her and Xander, but
I would have loved a good balance between the characters.
Sadly, it took me a while to get into the story,
I can’t really tell you why. As soon as something started to happen between
Xander and Izzy I was hooked though. I loved reading about their time in France.
It was not easy with those two though, until the end, but that gave the
storyline more drama and spark.
It’s a funny, heartwarming and lovely tale about
friendship and love.

DeleteI have seen this around a bit. The vintage like cover was enough to get my attention. I like a read that connects women like this does and the three perspectives appeals to me.
