Have you ever written a love letter? One where you have to sit down and try to convey who you are, what you feel and what it is that you hope for? Lilou loves reading love letters and old journals, so much so that she sells them at her market stall in the St Ouen market in Paris. Whilst Lilou tells herself that she isn't interested in love for herself, she still believes in love, and if she can help her friends find it then she will.
And so Paris Cupid is born, but this isn't any ordinary dating website. Lilou carefully matches each couple who have agreed that they will only communicate via letter until they both agree that it is time to meet. Lilou is determined to remain anonymous though. Who would trust someone with as many dating disasters as she has had to help them find love? It isn't long before Paris Cupid is making news headlines when a famous actor announces that he has found love through the website.
Suddenly everyone is speculating who could the mastermind behind the website could be. When Lilou starts receiving love notes, letters and gifts, she isn't really sure who could be sending them to her. It could be any one of the three men who have recently been allocated stall spaces next to her in the market. Scratch that. It could be two of the three men.
It couldn't possibly be the third one. Soon Lilou has her hands full trying to work out who her mysterious admirer might by, running her market stall and trying to keep her Paris Cupid business going, as well as keep her identity secret.
I have read quite a few Rebecca Raisin books now. I love the way that she writes about food, books and the locations, especially Paris! And this book is no exception. The reader is very cleverly taken to a number of sites around Paris in the course of Lilou's activities. Some of the sites are well known, but others not quite so famous.
