Confessions of an Expat in Paris
Confessions of an Expat in Paris: A Humorous Travel Memoir with Sassy Drink Recipes | Vicki Lesage
1 post | 1 read
From champagne bottles to baby bottles, this memoir offers a humorous glimpse of an American expat's years abroad... 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. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to pour yourself another drink! Fans of Tina Fey, Amy Schumer, and Chelsea Handler will enjoy the humor and candor in Confessions of an Expat in Paris.

This is a funny light look at her life and is interspersed with drink recipes. I loved the short chapters on different aspects of her life and the drinks were interesting too. The story is simple and fun. A nice light read and part of a series but you don't need to read the others. I am however off to find the next ones. Much of the parenting stuff was so relatable. #VoraciousReaders
