Although it was a bit difficult at first to keep track of who was who and who belonged to who this book was exceptionally entertaining. It kept me thinking and interested. The characters became real and I found myself rooting for them to get everything they deserved!
It was a good book
The writer did an excellent job of intertwining the characters and all that was happening within their lives; there were some surprises thrown in there that I appreciated. Once I receive a free e-book I don’t usually buy the second in the series or follow an author but I enjoyed this immensely and have purchased others from this author.
Great book about learning to adapt
I read it awhile back, but I do remember it being refreshing fun read.
Characters were well developed and Finn to get to know.
I believe I read during the summer, but even if I didn’t I’d call it mind candy for your soul.
Grab a glass of wine and your girlfriends for this fun romp through Paris!
Paris is always a good idea
Slow and predictable ending but still a good read.
I enjoyed the book, one character was a PW man, I can’t stand when a man lets a woman control him! However, that’s teal life!
This book surprised me with its wide array of characters each holding their own drama, heartache and love of something or someone. The story is a definite page turner; unable to put it down; wondering what can happen next. I actually wish this one had more pages.
Never read anything by this author but a very enjoyable read
I lived in Paris so this was a fun read!
There were sections of this book that I thought were great, some sections I did not like, such as open marriages, mistresses,, drug addicts, etc. I know the world has changed from the time I was growing up but I should hope they have not changed as much as parts of the book indicated.
Good character development. Interesting story line. Lots of fun information about life in Paris from several different vantage points.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I read non-fiction for entertainment. Loved reading about the residences found for the people and I did enjoy the characters.Loved the background, people being transferred to another country and Mali g it work, or not!
Ahhhh, Paris! What’s not to like. Walking with the characters down streets I know so well was a delight.
I had a hard time starting this book & almost didn’t continue reading it. It turned out OK. But I can’t say I’d be interested in knowing more of the story(stories).
A long story of several families relocated for work in Paris. Interconnected trageties. Seemed a bit tedious to me.
I very much enjoyed reading this.
A wonderful story about how the life of four couples changes during the year they spend in Paris.
