There’s plenty of romance in this cute, light read against the backdrop of Paris (city of love, city of light, city of delicious patisserie!) And just look at that cover…it’s gorgeous 😍
⤷ Synopsis:
Whitney Curry is spending her summer abroad in Paris, so she can improve her theater skills and create a project that would impress even her inspiration and idol, Josephine Baker. Only, France isn’t as welcoming as she thought and she keeps getting lost. In comes a handsome and grumpy French tutor, better known as Thierry Magnon. And so the two explore the real Paris, all while working together to help Whitney film her project. We all know what happens next…
⤷ Thoughts:
This book was so much fun! I’ve always wanted to go to Paris and I’m learning French right now, so I loved getting to explore the city through the main character’s eyes (and that way not having to embarrass myself with my probably terrible French accent :)). Also, I adored all the chocolate!
The romance was a lot of fun as well. I loved seeing the cute grumpy x sunshine romance develop between Whitney and Thierry!
But while I love a good romance, I also wanted a little more from the book. I really enjoyed the bits of information sprinkled throughout the book about Josephine Baker and how Whitney’s project was created with the hope that it would impress someone like her idol. Because of that, I would have liked to see more focus on her project, because I felt like once the romance was introduced, everything else faded to the background and wasn’t as important.
⤷ Final Thoughts:

I definitely enjoyed reading this book! It was a light and quick read, and I can’t wait for more from the author!
Thank you to NetGalley and Joy Revolution for the ARC of this book. All thoughts are my own.
