The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris: An enchanting and escapist novel for 2025 from the internationally bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop

First a huge and enthusiastic thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I had no doubts that I was going to adore this book from the jump. I love Evie Woods/Gaughan and I have lived in a small French town outside of Paris, so this is exactly my kind of novel. Typical to Woods’ style, the Irish protagonist is looking for a way to reconnect with herself and find her place in the world, and through a seemingly impossible manner, she comes to work in a magical bakery outside of Paris. I loved every detail of this novel from her crying in the bathroom at Gare du Nord (so relatable) to the very end where we see her truly transform her life and prospects. Highly recommend to all!!
