Nappasin kirjan joskus kirppikseltä vain tittelin takia. Rakastan Pariisia todella paljon, joten tämä oli kuin minulle tehty. 

 

Kirja sisältää 11 ihanaa ja hauskaa tarinaa, joita oli ilo seurata. Viides tarina, Krokotiilinnahkakengät, onkin alkuperäinen versio Lainakengissä-kirjasta! 🤩 

 

Suosikki tarinoista oli nopea ja hauska Twiittailua. Myös ensimmäinen, kirjan tittelitarina, oli aivan ihana! Pariisin kadut ja nähtävyydet oli kauniisti mukana parissa tarinassa.

A quick read even though I took ages to read it! I liked how light and fun it was.

Paris for One was a cute, quirky and a bit predictable read. Nell's evolution from a person who was afraid of taking adventures to a person who liked to take risks was interesting. It reminded me of the Sisterhood of traveling pants when Nell met a french guy. But overall, I enjoyed the story.

This book included 8 other short stories; each story had some kind of a moral to them which was an interesting take. Amongst the 8 stories, my favorite story was Hold Up. There were some stories which reminded me of other novels, for instance, A Bird in the Hand had a One Day (by David Nichols) feel to it.

A quick, simple read which can teach you something towards the end.

I loved these stories, especially Paris for One. They were fast paced and engaging but and made me feel connected to the characters. And in the mood for a trip to Paris :)
