paris ever afterAbout the Book
Friendship, loss, and an enchanting trip to Paris… Amy and Kat had a plan: A secret trip to Paris. Even Amy’s husband wouldn’t know about it. But when Amy loses Kat to cancer, she knows the plan has disappeared forever. Or has it?

Guided by Kat’s bold voice and dissatisfaction with her own calorie-counting life in Phoenix, Amy takes the plunge and sneaks off to Paris without telling a soul. Once there, however, she finds that her problems have come right along with her.

Through adventures laced with luscious food and a glimpse into an unexpected side of Paris, Amy learns that often in life, love, and friendship, nothing is exactly as it seems.

Will Amy choose her new life in Paris or revive the one she left behind?

My Review

I want to start off by saying this book is a sequel to The Paris Effect, which I have not read. I did know that going into the book, but it still took me a handful of chapters to feel like I knew what was going on. Luckily, once I was really able to settle in, and I found I was enjoying the story. If you are interested in picking this one up, I would suggest grabbing the first book, that way you can seamlessly jump into the story.

After I was able to get invested, I really did like the Paris Ever After. It was complicated, it was emotional, it was even suspenseful – and provided me with a gasp out loud moment after Amy’s husband finds her in Paris. The setting was very fun for me to read about – I love books based in Paris – and there were so many characters that moved me. I especially loved sweet Margaret! Overall, this was a very touching women’s fiction novel, and one I would recommend.
