About the Book
Chloe is the perfect Parisian: she’s too skinny, smokes too much, and drinks too much. She also has the bad habit of getting into toxic relationships, particularly with her ex Guillaume who is engaged to another woman. Her friend Constance, however, is a hopeless romantic, spends all her money on Jane Austen memorabilia yet is unable to find her Mr. Darcy.
One day, the two friends make a bet: Chloe will spend one year in the countryside, far from men and temptations, to finally write the novel she has always dreamed of; Constance will let go of her foolish dreams of romance and start hooking up with perfect strangers.
From Paris to Bordeaux vineyards to London, this bet will have completely unintended consequences.
My Review
I got into this story from the first chapter. Two friends, different personalities and lifestyles, and a bet – my cup of tea. Mainly set in Paris, this romantic comedy had a lot to offer and plenty that pleased me as a reader. Both Chloe and Constance were interesting characters to learn about and also to root for. While some parts were a little predictable, I did enjoy a nice twist at the end, and there were plenty of fun scenes to keep me intrigued while reading. I Don’t Really Need You is a laid-back novel great for your summer reading list!
