The Paris Hours by Alex George
3.0
Just another BOTM book knocked off my TBR list.
The Paris Hours was good. It honestly took me a while to get into and even now, while I'm writing this review, I still don't think I actually found one character that I truly connected with. I did, however, think they were likable but I just wasn't 100% invested in their stories. Only a teeny tiny amount.
Now I liked getting to know everyone - Camille, Jean-Paul, Guillaume, and Souren. Each person brought something different to this book and I liked seeing what they went through in order to achieve their own version of happiness. As for some of the side characters, well, I sort of felt bad for some of them. Especially the lady who was annoyed that her husband said he missed his guy friends the second they came back from their little honeymoon. Like take a nap first sir. Then go drinking.
Other than that, I liked the book. It definitely made me think about the time I spent in Paris. Which, yes, I would go back right now with zero hesitations. I also enjoyed the lessons that each character went through. It wasn't always easy because escaping the past never is but it definitely made this a page turner for me.
In the end, I'm very happy that I got the chance to dive into this book and will definitely reread it in the future.
