I absolutely loved this book. I don’t hand out 5 stars read easily, but this is definitely one of them. I loved listening to the audiobook. The novel takes place mostly in Paris. There is lots of spoken French without much translation (you don’t need it) but it was great listening to someone that sounds like they know what they are talking about. I fell in love with Stella and how she blossomed as a person.

Stella grows up the distant from her mother who is an outgoing, flamboyant person. Stella sticks to her schedule and doesn’t take risks. Her mother dies and in her will leaves Stella with instructions to go to Paris. This book is mainly about her adventures in Paris, meeting new people and growing her talents. The ones she didn’t even know she had until she came to Paris. This book will make you fall in love with art, food and the people of Paris. I finished this book in two days. I couldn’t get enough of it.

I would highly recommend this book.


I received this book as an arc from NetGalley.
