Hello everyone who's stopping by!
I'm here to share my honest thoughts on a book that's captured my heart - Arthur Louis and Adèle by Danya Delon. As a huge fan of sentimental literature, especially young adult fiction, I was eager to dive into this novel.
The book that I have is the special edition, courtesy of Clever, my favorite publisher. There are a few different editions available, each with its own unique cover - photo, artwork, floral, and my lovely turquoise cover, which is the special edition. Each one is stunning in its own way. If I hadn't wanted the special edition, I would have gone with the floral cover - it's so stylish!
The binding is nice and thick, and the book itself is a standard size. On the turquoise background, the main characters of the story are illustrated. I was also happy to see that there's a little quote from one of my favorite contemporary authors, Anna Jane, which is like a mini-review!
The endpapers of this edition are beautiful, with an image of the water's surface. The book itself is well-glued and sewn. The pages are thick and white, which is a real treat for the eyes - the text really stands out on white pages, and it's easy to read.
The font is pretty big and rounded. Some chapters are written in italics, but it's still super easy to read. The margins in the book are just right. The chapters don't have titles, just numbers or the character's name.
I love the little detail in the corner of the book – it's got an image, and when you flip through the pages quickly, you can see the clouds floating over the Eiffel Tower.
The book has a nice insert with colored artwork from the story in the middle. The book is pretty small, only 350 pages. The cover is beautiful – it looks amazing on my bookshelf.
The author's writing style is super easy to follow. I devoured the book in just a couple of evenings – the story's smooth and doesn't have any major plot holes. I love how the author switches between characters and adds flashbacks, but it doesn't feel jumbled.
The story really grabbed me - it's about the friendship between three young people: Arthur, Louis, and Adèle. Their story unfolds against the backdrop of the French Riviera and stunning Paris, and I have to say, each of the characters is pretty interesting. I love how the author develops them throughout the story.
Adèle loses her memory, and as the plot unfolds, she needs to not only regain her memories but also deal with her internal and external demons. I have to say, Adèle seemed like a typical, moody teenager with a lot of introspection - reminds me of someone in my own family. Her family's pretty well-off, what with her dad being a big shot politician. But despite their social status, the family's lacking in warmth, especially from her parents. Her little brother, on the other hand, is really sweet and supportive.
Out of the three main characters, Adèle's the one I liked the least. Don't get me wrong, the author did a great job of developing her, but for some reason, she just didn't resonate with me. Maybe it's because she gets lost in the shadow of the male characters, even though the story's really centered around her. Did Adèle annoy me? Yeah, I'd say so.
I still can't decide which of the guys I like more: Louis or Arthur. Louis is a great young man, just like the ideal type. He's got those bright blue eyes and a really fun, laid-back personality. Plus, he's from a well-off family, just like Adèle, but unfortunately, his parents passed away due to substance abuse. That's left him with a bit of a label, but he's got enough money to live the high life, which creates a bit of a misleading impression.
Arthur kind of stumbled into this group by chance. He met Louis and spent the summer at his villa, and despite their different social backgrounds, they became friends. They're like fire and water, but they somehow clicked. In real life, it's not always like that, but I love reading about how a kid from a poor neighborhood becomes friends with someone from a wealthy family – it's just not something you see every day.
I'm a sucker for books with a bit of mystery to them. I love when an author slowly reveals the truth towards the end of the story. This book's got a great thread of mystery running throughout. I'm really enjoying watching these characters unfold. The author does a great job of painting the scene around them. Paris, France is always a bit romantic and aesthetically pleasing, and this book's got its fair share of romance, friendship, and family drama.
I did get a bit choked up a couple of times, but for the most part, the book's got a nice balance of drama and poignancy. I also appreciated the book's conclusion – it was smooth and well-executed.
I'd say this book is suitable for readers 16 and above. Younger girls might find some themes a bit too intense, but it's up to the adults to decide. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, and I genuinely relax and enjoy reading stories like this.
I'd give it a solid 5 out of 5.
Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to read my review!
