French Fry (The French Twist Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 48 ratings

Sydney Durand had finally achieved the perfect life she had always wanted. After a whirlwind romance with a charming Frenchman, she endured the three weddings it required to satisfy the members of the newly formed Bennett-Durand clan. All she had left to do was stroll into the sunset with Louis to enjoy their long-awaited happily ever after.

But everything changed when the stick turned blue. Suddenly, Sydney finds herself facing the daunting task of becoming a mother before she has even returned home from her honeymoon. Keeping a tenacious hold on her hard-won happiness, Sydney is determined not to give up without a fight – no matter what or who is thrown in her path…and that includes an overbearing mother-in-law, a know-it-all father and her own anxiety about having a baby.

Will she finally be able to tame her neuroses for the sake of her unborn child? Or will her hormone-induced panic cause a meltdown of epic proportions? One thing is clear: Sydney and Louis’ nerves are going to fry…

Review

"Glynis Astie's writingand story telling is crisp. The plot is well paced, and the characters areengaging. The French Twist series is loosely based on Glynis Astie's life.Whether based on her life and family or not, I'm looking forward to more of Ms.Astie's delightful stories." - Nerd Girl Official
"Pregnancy has never been this enjoyable! Glynis Astie's French Fry will appeal to any woman who's had a baby (or anyone who has been there for a pregnancy). All the trials, tribulations, hormonal shifts, and neuroses--plus a meddling-but-well-intentioned mother-in-law--fill this rollicking fictionalized take on Astie's true story. Real life...but way funnier!" - Jayne Denker, author of the Marsden series
"This trilogyis a great example of great chick lit. It's different from the same-same mouldso many books follow, with plenty of twists and hilarity. Frankly, I'm a littlesad to be saying goodbye to Sydney and her life! These books are definitelyworth reading." - Annabel & Alice

"Ireally enjoy the casual, conversational style of Glynis Astie's writing, theincidental remarks that make it relaxed and friendly, and the authenticity. Areally good mix of well-developed and engaging characters with their diversepersonalities and interactions. Great family dynamics and a lovely conclusionto Sydney's wacky world." - Between the Lines

About the Author

Glynis never expected in her wildest dreams to be a writer. After thirteen years in the Human Resources Industry, she decided to stay at home with her two amazing sons. Ever in search of a project, she was inspired to write the story of how, in only six short months, she met and married her wonderfully romantic French husband, Sebastien. The end result became her first novel, French Twist.

As this was just the beginning of their epic love story, Glynis continued to chronicle their adventures in the sequel, 
French Toast, and the final installment in the series, French Fry. After she finished milking her life story for all it was worth, she decided to write straight-up fiction with Gamer Girl, which infused her beloved chick lit with a hint of fantasy. She then realized there were a few ounces left in her real-life French fairy tale, and added French Roast to the mix. She is currently considering writing a prequel to the series, and is therefore questioning her definition of "final installment."

When Glynis is not writing, she is trying to keep the peace amongst the three men and two cats in her life, finding missing body parts (Lego pieces are small!), supervising a myriad of homework assignments and keeping a tenuous hold on her sanity by consuming whatever chocolate is in the vicinity.

    I know being pregnant is not easy at times. But the character(Sydney Bennet Durrand) was right on. The author knew the ins and outs of being pregnant. There were time I chuckled at some of the situations she was in. No, I know they aren't funny, but after some time it will be funny when the story is told.
    I thoroughly enjoy this book as I have the first 2 books. I hope the author writes more books I the future about this famiy.

    Sydney and Louis learn that their new family will be growing sooner than they anticipated. Dealing with a expectant mother who is a bit of a worrier, and a little klutzy, well you know where this is going. Another fun read.

    This continuation of Sydney and Louis's lives together did not disappoint. This wonderful view into their crazy unpredictable lives as they went from marriage to parenthood was even more enjoyable than her other books. Seeing Sydney grow into the woman she was meant to be, dealing with her crazy friends, parents, family and crazy mother-in-law was a true delight. It left me wanting more ... which is to me, the sign of a truely good story. Highly recommended.

    Inspired by her real life whirlwind six month romance and marriage to her French husband, Sebastien, author Glynis Astie weaves an entertaining romantic comedy series called The French Twist Series!

    In French Twist, the first book in the series, the reader is introduced to Sydney Bennett, a single twenty-eight New Yorker who has moved to San Francisco. Sydney hasn't been lucky in the romance area, but when she meets handsome Louis Durand, who is in town on business, Sydney is swept off her feet and finds herself in a whirlwind love affair that leads to marriage in six short months!

    In French Toast, the second book in the series, Sydney's story continues after her civil ceremony to Louis. She makes plans for a fairytale wedding in California that she has dreamed of having since she was a child, only to have her mother-in-law planning a rival wedding in the France! Suddenly their whirlwind love affair and impulsive wedding is anything but romantic when drama, mishaps, and real life trials and tribulations stand in their way to happily ever after!

    In French Fry, the third and final book in the series, Sydney and Louis just had their third wedding (Syd's dream wedding) in Monterrey, California, and on the last day of their honeymoon in Oahu, Hawaii, Sydney takes a pregnancy test and it is positive! After a whirlwind fourteen months together, Sydney and Louis unexpectedly go from a newly married couple to expectant parents. Join in Sydney and Louis' latest adventures as they deal with the trials and tribulations of pregnancy and adding a bouncing baby to their new family! And if being newly married and pregnant isn't enough, Sydney has to deal with pregnancy hormones; her crazy French Mother-in-Law Simone, who comes for an unexpected visit; the quirky antics of co-worker nemeses Lyndsey and Paul; and being the matron of honor for best friend Zoe, who turns into a Bridezilla during the wedding preparations! So come along for the ride as Sydney and Louis' journey culminates with a sigh worthy epilogue that catches the reader up with the couple two years after the birth of their little french fry!

    The French Twist Series is a thoroughly entertaining set of romantic comedies. The reader can't help but get drawn into Sydney and Louis' whirlwind love affair, and follow their martial adventures as they deal with the crazy antics, drama, and mishaps that ensue when real life catches up with them. I loved that the author uses the inspiration from her own real life whirlwind romance and marriage to her French husband to create a series that has a wonderful mix of humor, romance, wit, and sarcasm.

    The French Twist Series is a lighthearted and delightful series that chronicles Sydney and Louis' adventures in love and marriage. It will keep you in stitches and make you a believer that fairytale romances really do exist!
