Rating: ⭐⭐⭐✨ 3.5/5

This book was such a cute and easy read, the kind that feels like slipping into a cozy blanket with a warm cup of coffee. The romantic setting of Paris and a fun nod to Emily in Paris—with the characters literally watching the show while in Paris—gave it a playful, meta charm. And let’s not forget the male main character (MMC), a chef dreaming of opening his own restaurant. That little detail made my foodie heart happy!

Now, let’s talk about Tessa, the female main character (FMC). I wanted to love her, I really did, but she kept bringing up her ex… a lot. By the halfway mark, even I was over hearing about him. However, I get that her heartbreak and trauma set the stage for all the drama that followed, so it made sense in the context of the story. What I did appreciate about Tessa was her grounded vibe—despite her love for Emily in Paris, her wardrobe was way more toned down and relatable, which made her feel like someone you’d actually meet in real life.

This was a light, breezy read with some fun and funny moments, perfect for fans of rom-coms with a bit of Parisian flair. A huge thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! If you’re looking for a book that’s low on stress and high on charm, this might be the one for you.
