Paris is Always a Good Idea | 
pickI don‘t care what the book snobs say…this was a fun, summer romance year jerker, that had me finish it in less than a day. If you go for these sweet type of books, you won‘t be disappointed!
pickI‘m surprised at the low Litsy ratings for this book. It‘s predictable, often silly, but I identified with the MC‘s journey to reconnect with the carefree, adventurous person she was before losing her mom. Losing my mom was a defining moment of my life and I often wonder what my life would be like if she were still here.

Did she really go back to these places looking for certain men? Like a man was the reason for your happiness? A man?????
so-soIf you don‘t take this one too seriously this is a real light and at times funny read. Don‘t look too deep, don‘t expect too much and you‘ll be fine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #romantsy
It makes me sad to say that the tagged book was my least favorite, bc I have enjoyed the author‘s mysteries. It just didn‘t make good use of its settings (in Ireland, France, and Italy), the main character was pretty unreasonable, and the fact that a man solved her life problems annoyed me. Also the audiobook narrator used a very bad Boston accent on one of the main characters, but only for certain words.
Thanks for the tag @megnews #Worstof21
pickSometimes life throws you a curve ball and upon impact you lose your bearings, your light, your joy. Sometimes you needs to truly start living to find the parts of you that where lost, dormant, shattered.

pickWould highly recommend this as a breather in between the serious books. It's a fun, feel-good story, even as it takes on heavy themes of grief, loss, and moving forward after. Chelsea Martin is certainly a main character to root for. 🥳

panOh, honey, no... Paris is not a good idea.
A thirty-year-old woman retraces her gap year through Ireland, France, and Italy to find love—and herself— which never works out the way they think it will. Add in an enemies-to-lovers work trope and this book is hardly about Paris at all. 2⭐
pickThis book gave me “To All the Boys I‘ve Loved Before” vibes and I loved it. Chelsea was spending a year in Europe when she got the call that her mom had cancer. Now 7 years later Chelsea‘s Dad is getting remarried and she isn‘t happy about it at all. So she decided to go back to Europe and see the 3 guys she fell in love with during that year to see what it feels like to be in love again. But she find love in the most unexpected person! 💜💜💜
so-soHmmm, this is a bit like ‘To All the Boys I‘ve Loved Before‘ for an emotionally immature globetrotting 20-something-year-old. It was fluffy and okay but not terribly memorable.
...The background pic: My son and DIL went to Paris and posed in front of the bookshop I told them was a must-visit.
Errands, cleaning, and social distancing are the wild way I spent my 3-day weekend. My reward was a trip to B&N for a few more books. The stack is for me and the picture book for my niece. #bookhaul
so-soThis book encouraged me to reevaluate what feelings meant. Are feelings supposed to be something we look for? I personally thought they were something that we wait patiently till it decides to visit us, because as long as we live every day to the fullest, I wanted to believe it will come to us, when the time is right.
Perhaps the journey Chelsea Martin took allowed her to come in terms with the beauty of change, as a natural part of life.
pickI thought this book was clever, a quick-read, and laugh out loud funny. Chelsea has become a workaholic and needs to find her laughter and love again so she retraces her steps of her gap year abroad to look up her past loves in three lovely countries: Ireland, Italy, and Paris. This trip will teach Chelsea that to find happiness is to find it within herself. Great travel novel!!
