That Night in Paris by Sandy Barker
4.0
Running away from the flatmate she shared a one night stand with, 30-something English teacher Catherine ‘Cat’ Parsons embarks on a European coach tour. Whilst exploring Paris with newfound friends Dani, Jae and Lou, Cat bumps into long-lost best friend Jean-Luc Caron. Despite her protestations, Cat find herself developing feelings for Jean-Luc, and it takes a cross-country cat and mouse chase for her to realise her heart.
Having read One Summer in Santorini I was greatly anticipating That Night in Paris. Although it was a really enjoyable read - and just the escapism needed at this time - it didn’t hook my quite as much as One Summer in Santorini. I loved the fact that the characters were familiar - Cat was briefly introduced in the previous novel, which centres on her sister Sarah’s travels - but I didn’t warm to her as much as her sister! I found her superficial, caught up in her own problems when her friends needed her, and she was frustrating at times! The description of the places that the group visit had me checking Google Maps to see for myself - I especially enjoyed Barker’s description of Italy. I’m looking forward to the next instalment of the series.
