About the Book
Party girl Vicki moved to
Paris hoping to drink wine and fall in love. She accomplished both goals, but
not without bumps along the way: romantic encounters gone awry, uniquely French
situations threatening her sanity, and two adorable yet tireless kids keeping
her on her toes.
Journey along with Vicki as she gets her feet wet, settles
in, and finally finds her way in Paris. All with a drink in hand and a smile on
her face. Until she must make a decision: Should she stay in her adopted city
(with all its ups and downs) or should she return home (with its different ups
and downs)?
Discover the real Paris through Vicki’s eyes as she shows you
the funny side of life, love, and raising a family in the City of Light. And
each chapter is paired with a delicious cocktail recipe! Enjoy drinks like the
Sangria Spritzer, Pretty Good Bloody Mary, and Teeny Bellini.
My Review
I have read a handful of stories from Vicki LeSage and she is a great storyteller. Writing memoir style and in short, comedic chapters, we get an insight to her life after moving to Paris, falling in love and becoming a mother. I also thought it was fun to see how each chapter ended with a drink recipe that make sense to the stories told within that section, and even flagged one to try for a party! I breezed through this pretty quickly – it’s easy to read, enjoyable and the short chapters made me move through her journey at a fast pace. If you’re looking for a light and breezy read that will give you some chuckles, I would suggest!
