Superb for beginners and intermediate French students
One of the challenges with reading French is the pronunciation can be difficult especially for beginners and intermediate level learners. The free audio book solves that issue. Characters are interesting, the story line is easy to follow and interesting as well. I appreciated the included exercises for comprehension practice and the English translation. Thanks for producing such a useful ebook with audio.

More than romance in Lyon
From the title and the first chapter, I was expecting this book to be about Clara and Julien, the boyfriend she met after the concert in the previous book. But there's more love than that, especially in the next 2 chapters about her finding a dog and adjusting to caring for him. And then there are other common events - a 50th anniversary of Celine's grandparents, an early spring picnic with friends, her 18th birthday (majority in France, but not in the US), getting an apartment, etc. All these situations are not only a good story but also the opportunity to learn useful vocabulary and expressions useful at such events. Although this story might be of interest mostly to young girls like Clara in first year of university and studying French, I think anyone wanting to improve their French would find this book an entertaining and educational read.
A marvellous read
As a beginner French language learner, this book is a heaven sent. I love the how the book is strategically placed with the chapter first in French and the translation side by side at the next page. As I am a beginner just embarking learning on passe compose and future tenses, I do find it a bit daunting as I go along to read the book. But the translations in the following pages, help considerably and picking up new vocabulary a long the way. It helps to increase 1 level up even though I thought I am not ready for it. Excellent read!
