I'm just back from Paris for the first time recently and thought that I would take some books with me with themes to the city, I took this book and Orwell's down and out in Paris, which I haven't finished yet. I did finish this pretty quickly though, It was a good read of a collection of short stories all based in Paris on New years eve and day. Funny, witty, with characters you want to root for. And if you've ever been to Paris and stayed near the Gare du Nord and Montmarte then you will enjoy this book even more. If not it may even inspire you to visit and experience a random romance for yourself. SPOILER ALERT The only reason I gave this 4 stars though and not five as I felt to keep the realism we needed at least one or two unhappy endings of lovers not getting together, call me cynical, but this is the real world lol Good book though and good writing :) will definitely check out more of your work soon.
