This book had potential but ultimately was just blah. I think it would have helped to go all-out comedy or make it more introspective and explore the grief Chelsea is facing. Instead, it tried to straddle the line between comedy and serious, without really achieving either. There were no genuine laugh-out-loud moments, and any serious scenes were just underwhelming or insincere.

Paris is Always a Good Idea seemed like a good choice for a quick read – a fun trip around Europe, some tension with a coworker? I was just fine with some nice, forgettable escapism. But the last two chapters were ridiculous and honestly ruined the story for me. The end turned it from a book that was enjoyable to one I definitely wouldn't recommend.

She just let go of all her grief, seriously? All it took was a hot guy to tell her she needed to move on? Smh
