bethanybeyondthejordan 's review for:
Paris for One and Other Stories
by Jojo Moyes
4.5 (I reserve 5s for books I’d recommend universally)
I generally shy away from short story collections. They usually leave me wanting. I’m trying to keep looking, hoping I’ll find a collection of stories that just do it for me. And this book worked.
All the stories are about relationships, broken or just tired or new and flourishing. Most of the stories had a surprise twist that left me feeling pretty satisfied when finished. I plowed through this book in less than 24 hours...and life with a baby doesn’t often allow for reading at all!
Ironically I just finished my first Jojo Moyes before this and didn’t love it. So I was a little skeptical. Turns out she’s fantastic with short form!!
