This was a sweet romance with a lot of depth!
Things I Loved:
•The realness of the character: Real fears and insecurities
•Disability Rep: MFC has multiple autoimmune diseases that have a very real impact on her life, relationships and this trip to Paris. As someone with multiple autoimmune diseases myself I appreciate the realistic portrayal of living the “spooner” life. The Author also has firsthand knowledge of this and writes with knowledge and understanding.
•Actual depth of conversation between MC’s
•Gorgeous Parisian Setting
•Closed door romance but lots of heat and LOTS of kissing
• Great cast of side characters especially Doris
•Dual POV
Things that weren’t strong points for me:
•Not a huge fan of Instant Love (just a personal preference)
•Lola - a great friend in someways but so much of what she does and how she handles things really annoyed me.
•Several slower spots/constant introspection.
All in all I enjoyed this book and love that the author included a movie list and Spotify list to be enjoyed along with the book. I felt like I was in Paris and that’s always a wonderful place to be.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
