"If you are in the mood for a relationship memoir that takes place in a foreign country, this is the book for you." - Books, Movies and Chinese Food, "Karen tells her experiences and story in a way in which the reader is like her best girlfriend." -- Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks, "I felt as though I walked alongside Wheeler as she explored her new run down house in the village or the countryside she so clearly describes throughout the book." - A Well Lit Corner, "I found myself completely drawn into the little world Karen has carved out for herself in France. She writes in an easy, flowing way that I found pleasant to read and once I got started reading I found I really didn't want to put the book down until I finished it." - Peeking Between the Pages, "If you enjoy fast-paced, witty banter and honest self-revelation, Tout Sweet is a must-read!" -- Between the Sheets, " Tout Sweet is c'est si bon!
