Good audiobook narrator, in particular with emotions, but the volume is inconsistent which makes it difficult to listen to.
Easy story to follow, the main character is maybe a bit naive but she's young and learning from her mistakes.
I read this as part of my virtual travel to New York and she explores many places in New York and around, giving me places to look up to follow along her explorations.

Very cute. I think the ending was maybe a little rushed - would’ve liked an epilogue or something showing them a year from now cause they kissed once and then boom he moved to France. But over all I really liked it l - thought it was a whirlwind book and could’ve been a movie.

I got this book as a “Blind Date” from Barnes & Noble and I’m so glad I picked it up. If you want/need a quick feel-good read, definitely try this one. I liked the main theme of this book, which was; don’t stress when life doesn’t go your way or if it takes you a while to achieve your dreams, just enjoy the journey that you’re on.

A foodie’s love letter to New York and all its hustles and bustles!
This tells the story of Margot, an aspiring French chef who longs to get out of France and who had a magical night with an American, Zach, while touring around Paris. They agreed to meet again in Times Square, New York a year from then, without exchanging anything, not even last names or phone numbers. When she arrives in New York a year later, everything is not as romantic as it seems and Margot must find a way to both achieve her dream and get her chance at true love.
While I found Margot to be too naive most of the time, I really can’t fault her for that since it’s the privilege being young gets you. She’s not afraid to throw caution to the wind, putting all hope in a guy that she’s spent a single night with, romanticizing and relegating everything to fate. She can get too frustrating, but she grew on me. And ultimately, she grew.
Also, I love the people surrounding her in New York, her dad, his fiance, her voice of reason and cousin, Luz, and her first friend, Ben. Her adventures in finding Zach somehow transported me and made me search for the places that they’ve been, to check if they were actually real. As someone who’s never been back to the Big Apple for twenty years, I guess this book gave me a glimpse of what I have been missing for the past two decades.
Not really a standout but enjoyed this book nonetheless. A caveat though, do not read this on an empty stomach!
Thank you to Delacorte Press, NetGalley and the author for my early copy. All opinions are honest and my own.
