Name of the book: The Chalet Girl

Author: Kate Lace

My Rating: 2.5/5

My excitement to read this was brimming to the top of my heart while I ordered this book because it seemed to be one of those heartwarming holiday romances that I have always loved. The main protagonist is ‘Millie’ who works as a chalet host and has satan for a father. Her father is bishop that does not allow her to enjoy any freedom or luxuries and is never seen being proud of his daughter’s achievements. But when Millie get knocked up, he disowns her which forces her to take shelter with her friend Freya, daughter of a wealthy millionaire.

The story starts with her life as a chalet host where she comes across the extremely gorgeous Luke Hastings and they fall for each other before I can even say “Chalet”. They connect over at drinks in a bar called “Husky” where she usually performs song covers. Millie always mistakes Luke for having done something wrong to her and eventually fleds the Alps looking for a refuge somewhere.When she does so, Luke Hastings throws away his life to find her and explain to her that he wasn’t the cause she lost a job. While doing so he also reconciles the differences between Millie and her mother. By the end of the book, Millie gets to work with a record label and everything is suddenly alright.

Things that worked out:

The book was well-written and characterization was great

Loved the setting amongst the alps

Things that didn’t work out:

The main protagonist, Millie, seems to be weepy and is always escaping situations making her unlikable

Millie doesn’t seem to work hard to achieve her goals and is always scared to take risks which isn’t how one lands a record deal

She is often seen mistaking people in her life and does not trust even her best friend
