A review by saarahnina
Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes
5.0
Sensational writing
This collection of stories ended on the same high with which it began. No story fell short of its mark, within a matter of seconds Jojo Moyes could leave you feeling the same as her characters. The first and the last stories were my favourites- the first being 'Paris For One' and the last being 'The Christmas List.'
The collection of stories are suited for all: there is a mix between the more emotional, the depressing kind and then the ones included more for comic effect. A good balance, really plays with you emotions. Not to suggest any story made me cry, just that there was emotion in the writing. This is the first I've read of Jojo Moyes work, (I have yet to read 'Me before you'.)
These books cover a lot: love, feeling lost in the world, misunderstood, lonely or feelings of having your youthful dreams stolen away, reminiscing on the 'could have beens', the 'should have beens', all that has become lost and forgotten. Some of the others, the ones more on the 'comedy' side of romantic comedy, were less serious but written equally well.
I received this book through NetGalley.
