A review by jessikaanctil
The Paris Hours by Alex George

4.0

Honestly, the synopsis of this book doesn’t do it justice. The story is so much more than that. Read it, you’ll understand.

I felt that it was a bit slow paced at first, but then it sped up quickly. The story is told over the course of one day, making it quite unusual to me. I liked it though. This novel felt very different, with short chapters, multiple characters to follow, with different pasts to catch up.

Then, just as the pace starts to pick up, and you start to understand the different characters better, the ending happens. Sudden and shocking, it will for sure captivates you.

I liked this book so much. When I first read about it a few months before it’s release date, I was so impatient about it. I don’t know what it was, I was just so intrigued by it. This novel was so different from was I’m used to read, yet so beautifully written, I fell in love with it.

If you are a historical fiction fan (or even if you’re not!!) I would recommend this book to you in a heartbeat.
