Up the Seine Without a Paddle
Up the Seine Without a Paddle | Eliza Watson
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
What do you do when the City of Love doesn't love you? Caity Shaw takes on Paris and her next event planner job with a bit more confidence--which is immediately shot down when she's forced to take responsibility for a six-year-old brat. They're kicked out of a famous museum, and she goes from being a glamorous event planner--for a funeral directors' group--to a reluctant au pair. Just what she doesn't need as she struggles to regain self-esteem whittled away by an emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend. Declan, Caity's hot Irish coworker, helps her maintain her sanity and sense of humor when she is repeatedly thrown out of places in Paris. He also perpetuates her facade as an experienced planner, a goal she'll never achieve if she's spending her days at puppet shows. Caity and Declan spend evenings exploring Paris and researching her Irish grandmother's mysterious past, uncovering secrets that could tear Caity's family apart. Declan reveals his own secret, which might bring Caity and him closer, despite her attempts to keep an emotional distance from the charming womanizer. However, the only way to help Declan open up and heal might be to confide in him about her past. Caity finally has faith in herself--can she learn to have faith that others won't judge her mistakes? *This series is best when read in order.

#backpackeurope wrapup continued:
Here are all of my #5starreads from the challenge!
7 or 8 were rereads from long ago. The Eliza Watson one was most fun, French had the best thriller, the last three I the bottom row were saddest, Cusk and Knausgaard stuck with me for a while, Levithan I stayed up late reading, and I leaned most from Larson.
Shout-out to Elif Shafak, who was a new discovery for me, but whose books earned 4 🌟. Very solid writer.

#backpackeurop travelogue *fictional*
Country 55: France, mon couer, I return! Saved the City of Lights, Paris, for last. Louvre, Notre Dame, River Seine, Tuilleries, and a side trip to Versailles. Lovely!
I LOVE THIS SERIES! I liked this 2nd book even more than the first. It has heart and romance and lots of lovely sightseeing. It made me so happy and I've stayed up too late finishing it. 5/5
#blameitonlitsy for this series :-)

Book two of this series seamlessly flows from book one. We get more of Caity learning her new job, getting into some strange and funny scrapes. Also an enjoyable summer read!
