The blurb:
Bestselling author Jojo Moyes
brings us a charming and heart-warming short story in association with Quick
Reads.
Nell is twenty-six and has never
been to Paris. She has never even been on a weekend away with her boyfriend.
Everyone knows she is just not the adventurous type.
But, when her boyfriend doesn't
turn up for their romantic mini-break, Nell has the chance to prove everyone
wrong.
Alone in Paris, Nell meets the
mysterious moped-riding Fabien and his group of carefree friends. Could this
turn out to be the most adventurous weekend of her life?
My Opinion:
I finally got to read
another Jojo Moyes book again, it’s a short one, but still.
Nell is at the train
station waiting for her boyfriend to arrive. He’s not going to make it, so she
goes to Paris alone. What a fun weekend ahead…
It gets worse when she
arrives at the hotel and her room is double booked, an American lady book it as
well and it’s the last one available. Nell still hopes that her boyfriend turns
up, but he cancels.
On Saturday morning she
tries to go back home, but it’s just too expensive and when she finds two
tickets for an exhibition she goes there. It’s where she meets the waiter
again. She gives Fabien the second ticket and they spend the day together.
Fabien is trying to be an
author and he somehow is constantly reminded of his ex-girlfriend.
Nell is not sure whether
she shall go out with Fabien in the evening, but then she goes for it. It all
gets really complicated when her boyfriend turns up. All Nell wants is to be
with Fabien. She tries to find him…
I loved how free these two
were, when they were together. No commitments, no rush, no nothing and I guess
that’s what attracted them to each other. And they were able to be themselves.
A cute little story, about
an adventurous weekend full of freedom, fun and passion. Jojo’s style is fresh
and sweet and the story was a real pleasure to read.
