I love a good Paris book and this is definitely one! With her teenage daughter Eloise, Coco moves from London back home to Paris. Coco has left her boyfriend and business partner after something bad went down with the business (yes, you'll find out what that was later on!). She finds herself in a bookshop owned by the outlandish Valerie, who hires Coco to work at the shop. Coco takes on the responsibility of running the shop's book club, and we're introduced to a fun cast of supporting characters. Among the group is Henri, who butts heads with Coco right from the start but provides for fun interactions.

I had just recently read and enjoyed Rebecca Raisin's "Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel" so I was for sure going to read this one. After joking on the author's instagram that I was denied the book on NetGalley, she reached out and sent me a digital copy. 

A mostly lighthearted, fun read, the book has a few times with more down tones - but never so much that it brought the vibe down. There's a twist involving Eloise that I 100 percent saw coming but that didn't take away my enjoyment of the story. Mostly I just thought this was a fun book and found myself smiling throughout. The book club members were fantastic, and I laughed out loud at their interactions. I really loved that some of the narrative was actually Coco getting lost in her own thoughts; super smart and not something we see a lot of. 

I really enjoyed the callback to Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel. Done so that if you haven't read that book, you won't be miss anything, but certainly a little bonus if you have read it.
