Summary:
Diapers, tantrums, and French bureaucracy – the crazy life of an American Mom in Paris.
Party Girl is back, this time as the sassy mommy of two kids trying to navigate the beautiful, yet infuriating, city of Paris. How does she steer a stroller around piles of dog poop? How does she find time for French administration between breastfeeding and business meetings? And can she ever lose the baby weight with croissants staring her in the face from every street corner? Answers to these pressing questions – and many more – are in this hilarious sequel. Laugh, cry, and wipe up drool right alongside Vicki as she and her ever-patient French husband raise two children in the City of Light.
Read about Vicki’s crazy Paris debut in her first book, Confessions of a Paris Party Girl.
Review:
I knew I was going to love this book and I did! Vicki is a master at storytelling and her humor is delightful.
The nicknames for the weekend nurses cracked me up! Vicki’s nerdy mathematical dissertation on the way we write the date and how the rest of the world writes it was both thought provoking and funny. I could go on and on but then I may spoil the story for you.
I usually don’t read memoirs but these are the exception!
Through reading this book and Confessions of a Paris Party Girl, I have laughed so much! I’ve also learned that there are many differences between the Paris way of life and life in the US.
I envy Vicki’s courage to move to another country and I admire her humor and intellect.
Don’t pass up this book!
