I have such a massive crush on this book. Recommended for anyone who would rather be riding a bicycle aimlessly around the streets of Paris than doing whatever it is they are doing right now. Hot, honest, heartbreaking/heartbuilding. Just the best.

Jayne Tuttle's account of a period of several years in Paris is a page turner. It's raw, and she manages to imbue even the most mundane of everyday experiences with a fresh eye and fresh language.

I found her personality at times annoying, at other admirable, sometimes vulnerable, but never dull. It reads as a completely fresh take on the done to death move-to-Paris trope. I would have liked a bit more depth/understanding of some of her friends, and even the boyfriend Adrien; it feels like they eluded me. However, there's enough going and Paris as a character is fully formed.
