A review by abigailguzi
The Paris Hours by Alex George
4.0
Debating in the 3 to 4 star range.
This book took a very interesting approach following various people thought the same day in their life, changing the person we follow with each chapter. Each person had their own suffering, past traumas, and beauties in life which we got to see throughout the book. I was able to truly feel connected to the pain that some characters felt, and the slivers of hope that sprouted from their daily life.

I was intrigued by Camille’s story, and I wish I could have learned what her secret was. Her overall family dynamic was very interesting and odd to me and I would’ve liked to see more. Jean-Paul’s ending was so bittersweet for me. After seeing all of the self-conflict, I wish we could have seen him meet his daughter again. I personally did not care for Guillaume and his story, and felt that I could have done without a lot of his background. Every time I read about Souren my heart broke. His story was beautiful and horrific and he deserved so much more from life. Overall, a beautiful mix of different backgrounds, tribulations, hopes, and personal developments seen in each individual.
