Can’t Wait Wednesday – LUCY CHECKS IN by Dee Ernst
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is LUCY CHECKS IN by Dee Ernst. The idea of going to France for a fresh start just really appeals to me, so I’m looking forward to this book.
LUCY CHECKS IN by Dee Ernst
Publication Date: August 16, 2022 by St. Martin’s Griffin
From Goodreads:
Dee Ernst’s Lucy Checks In is a delightful work of romantic comedy about a disgraced hotel manager who travels to Rennes to rebuild a hotel and her own life in the process.
Lucia Giannetti needs a fresh start. Once the hotel manager of a glamorous NYC hotel and intimately involved with the hotel’s owner, Lucy had her entire future planned out. But when the owner disappears, taking millions of dollars with him, Lucy’s life as she knows it falls apart.
Two years later, forty-nine years old and unemployed, Lucy takes a job in Rennes, France to manage the Hotel Paradis. She pictures fur quilts and extravagant chandeliers, but what she finds is wildly different. Lucy is now in charge of turning the run-down, but charming hotel into a bustling tourist attraction. Between painting rooms, building a website, and getting to know Bing, the irritatingly attractive artist, Lucy finds an unexpected home. But can she succeed in bringing the Hotel Paradis to its former glory?
Witty and heartfelt, Lucy Checks In is an inspiring and feel-good novel about reclaiming your life, finding love, and creating a home in places you never thought possible.

That this is in France immediately got my attention, but also this sounds like wonderful finging-yourself novel <#

I know, right? So long to wait!
Oh, this sounds so charming! I’d love to take a trip to France now.
This is giving me Under the Tuscan Sun vibes😁 Love the sound of it!
Another one on my TBR. I am all about stories like this lately. Calling it “feel good” is a surefire way to get me to read it.
Great premise- can’t go wrong with a fresh start in France, right? 🙂
this sounds very quaint!
This sounds like a good story.
Ohhh! France, What an escape this would be!
I like the idea of a fresh start in France 🙂
Great books. I read like four of them. May I recommend Holidate and Holidaze anad Elin Hilderbrand put out a nice one and then there’s a new Neflix movie where a woman gets catfished during the holidays.
