Paris Is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay
2.0
I really wanted to like Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay. Sure, the premise of taking an indefinite European vacation to find onesself is a bit hokey, but I really thought I would like the book more.
Chelsea, the main character, is absolutely insufferable for most of the book. She is selfish and immature, even in her grief. Jason, while less aggravating, is also not a character I could connect to. His controlling nature is also super grating in response to a main character that is supposedly uber independent.
The places the main characters visit are the stars of the novel, as are the supporting characters. The supporting characters feels far more dimensional, interesting, and easy to connect to.
I can't say I'd recommend this one.
