Jojo's stories are lovely. They're an interesting glimpse into the minds of many different women. My only criticism might be that the length of the title story in comparison to the others was much longer, which suited the story itself, but made the book feel a bit unbalanced.

Nice summer read. Entertaining short stories, each with a little twist.

Fun collection of stories with the primary story centering around a woman who ends up going to Paris by herself when her boyfriend no-shows for their trip. This being a JoJo Moyes book, the heroine is humorous, plucky, and human. The other stories are shorter and explore the complications of longer term relationships.

(Rounding up from 3.5 stars)
A sweet, light selection of short stories, with a focus on romance and relationships. The title story is the lengthiest and most enjoyable, focusing on a cautious young woman who takes a big risk on a weekend in Paris and learns to reinvent herself and her life. The other stories are a mixed bag -- some kind of sweet, some with more of a tart commentary on mid-life marriages, disappointments, and adjustments of expectations.
A nice little light diversion for fans of the author.

The acclaimed author of Me Before You is back again with another book. This one is very different than Me Before You, but I still enjoyed it. In this book, we meet Nell and get to adventure with her to Paris. I found this book to be a quick, witty book with a lot of heart. I enjoyed it.

Paris for one is my very first novel of Jojo Moyes. I have been waiting for this book for 2 weeks and when it arrived, I finished it in 2 hours.
I was too eager to read this one because of the plot it is written on. And, believe me I wasn't let down by the content at all. I enjoyed every page of it.
The book is a story about a girl who used to be diffident about her decisions and had not laid herself back when her Boyfriend didn't stood her up for the trip she had been organizing for so long.
And, when she finds herself all alone in the city of love. She decides to live every moment of it. She decides to love life back and that's when her life loves her back too by making her to meet this man Fabien who quietly changed her perspective of seeing the things. Who made her feel beautiful, and confident about herself.
I love the book. I hope to read all her writings after that. :)
