The setting of Paris is one of my favorites. I love hearing about the sites, the great cafes, the beautiful cathedrals, and the wonderful sounds of Paris. Every time I read a book in this setting I hope that it takes me to a place that I haven't been and someday hope to visit. K.S.R. Burns is talented with her words and is able to transport her readers to a wonderful city.
There are a few side stories, a friend now being who they seem and a stranger showing up and pushing Amy out of her comfort area, that kept the story interesting. liked that they added an additional twist to a story that seemed to be heading down the path I expected it.

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

I didn't read the first book and I'm not sure if that made a big difference in how I felt about this book. I had read online reviews of the first book and decided to not read it and jump in with this story. I'm unaware how involved William was in the first book or if it was mostly about Amy. I felt badly about how the situation with William settled. Overall, this was an ok read for me.

This was a fun, escape read. I didn’t realize there was a first book. So you can still read this without reading the first book. I loved escaping to Paris.

When I started reading this, I didn’t realize it was a sequel to another book. There was a quick “recap” of book one at the beginning of this book, but I’d barely say it sufficed as a true recap. I do think some of the story elements were a little lost of me not having read book one, but I was able to read this without having read the previous story. I did enjoy traveling around Paris with Amy. Any story set in Paris is one that will make me want to read it instantly. However, I didn’t much care for Amy herself.

Paris Ever After was a delightful way to escape reality and experience a little slice of Paris. Burns crafts an novel filled with interesting characters, focusing primarily on Amy, an American who fled to Paris after the death of her best friend, leaving behind a failing marriage to a questionable husband. The friendships she makes, along with discoveries about herself, kept me engaged. Overall, this was a splendid, cozy book!

Maybe it was the fact that this is a sequel but didn’t tell me that (or maybe it did and I just overlooked it). Maybe it’s the actual characters and story. I’m not sure which. But for some reason, I did NOT connect with this story at all.
I didn’t realize until more than halfway through when I started reading other reviews to see if I was only one bored...that it was in fact a sequel. What the heck? I hate when people pretend that a book is a stand alone but really it needs to be read along with another one. That’s how I feel about this. Plus I was crazy bored by it.

Fun and easy read that had wonderful descriptions of Paris! I thought it was just a simple chick-lit book, but there was a lot more depth to it.

I didn't realize until the end of this book that it was a sequel. So having not read the first book, I think I missed out on some of the background. However, I enjoyed the book enough that I bought "The Paris Effect."

I was not a fan of Amy at the beginning of the book. I felt like she was a little self-absorbed, but as I got further involved in the book, I began to understand her better and the decisions she made. There are some quirky characters and you will love some and hate others!

I felt like Marguerite's nervous breakdown was a little bizarre. It did not seem to be resolved in a believable way.

There were some twists and turns and I loved how Amy's adventure in Paris gives the reader a delightful tour of this delightful city. You will also be exposed to an emotional journey as life brings surprises, anxiety, anger, friendship, and love to Amy.

As a consultant on Paris travel, I adored this book! Like the protagonist, I, too, once escaped to Paris to save my sanity. In addition to a compelling story and beautifully developed characters, I was enchanted by the author's descriptions of the Paris street life, cafes, food and a wonderful recipe for madeleines at the end of the book. Paris lovers will be right at home and others will undoubtedly catch the bug and want to experience the city on their own. After submitting my review I found that this was Book 2 following "The Paris Effect" from 2016 which I will promptly find and read!

This is book 2 in a series. I had not read book 1, however there is a recap at the beginning so I felt like I was able to engage in the story.

I enjoyed it, it's a easy read and Amy is a likable character. There is nothing extraordinary about this book but that might be one of the most likable things about it. It's a fun book for an airplane ride or a beach read. I am glad I read it.

Paris Ever After is the second book in a series about Amy, the lonely, bored housewife, who jets off to Paris during one of her husband, Will's business trips. In this installment, Amy is creating a life for herself and her unborn daughter, Katherine, when suddenly, Will comes back into her life and she is forced to decide between returning to Arizona and staying in Paris.

I read the first book, The Paris Effect first, only because I wanted to, but you could easily read this one as a stand alone. I love everything about Paris and hope to travel there one day, but in the meantime, this quenched my thirst for a little bit of the city. I love how the author describes the city, the shops, hotels, sights, museums, and food in such detail. I feel like I've gotten back from a mini Paris vacation after reading it. And the characters are so amazing. Amy caught my heart in the first book and is such a good soul and relatable woman. I pulled for her happiness the entire journey. If you need a good summer beach read or just want to warm up your holidays, I suggest you pick this one up.

Light reading and quite relaxing. But I felt this book a little emotionless. Probably this is because I found it hard to connect with Amy, the main character. Just don't judge me rude, but I thought Amy is a little bit selfish and hard to understand. I didn't understand how she could went away to Paris, pregnant, and always find an excuse to postponed the news to her husband.

The other characters were not better. I thought their characters were not well developed. They were not interesting to me. The only one who made me interested is Margaret's daughter. The rest was just... names (which mostly I can't remember by now)

Although the ending is beautiful, it was unreal. I didn't even feel the sadness from Amy when she had this revelation in the end.

I received this book with lovely cover from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I will admit that I didn't read the first book to this but I enjoyed it none the less. This was a short easy read that had me really admiring Amy and her courage to follow her dreams. I loved seeing her navigate her dream life while coping with the fallout from her quick decisions. I found the characters relatable and the writing flowed nicely. I wish I would have read the first book and would definitely recommend others do before they pick this up.

It was a hit-or-miss story for me. Amy decided to leave everything behind and goes to Paris, not because of YOLO or that she's a wanderlust, but because she wants to find herself. AND Take note, she is married - literally leaving her poor husband without any valid reason or whatsoever. I understand that sometimes, we need to step out of our comfort zone and explore what we truly want and what makes us happy - but not to the point that we abandon someone, let alone a husband. I admit that most of the times when I face a problem, I run away from it - either not caring or just sleeping it off - thinking that it'll vanish when I start to care again or when I wake up. BUT NO. The problem will still be there and the only thing to solve it is if you face it and critically think what steps to do to never arrive at the same problem again.

I love a book that it seems a good friend is telling you a story. With vivid descriptions of Paris, the food, the culture along with a strong character it makes for a great read any time of the year! I loved it.

Paris Ever after is an uplifting story about finding love when your not looking for it. Amy decides to run off to Paris without telling a soul, even her husband. With a baby in her belly she needs to escape and start fresh, and discover who she is and what she wants. She loves her husband Will, but things have been less then ideal. She arrives in Paris with no real plan of what she'll do there. She meets and strikes up a friendship with a group of locals who essentially become her family. She has a job, friends, her baby, all she needs is Will. When Will tells Amy he's coming to see her in Paris, she's unsure if it's because he wants her back or to give her divorce papers. She loves Will and she's hoping when she surprises him with the news that hes going to be a dad that he will want to make there marriage work..Unfortunately for Amy she's the one who is about to be surprised.
I enjoyed Paris Ever After and the main character is someone who is very relatable. Any book with description's of the food and ambiance of Paris is exciting to me, and makes me want to be just like Amy and run off to discover a whole new life and all the possibilities that would bring!

A brilliant book about how when life got her down then Amy left Phoenix and Will for her memories of Paris and how she ended up being part of a strange group of friends until around her 30th birthday she has to make a decision. Will is also in Paris and he, she believes is trying to catch up with her or is he? With a cast of interesting and quirky characters this fast paced novel sets off to take one on a ride with romantic Paris at its centre.

This book was a cute read. It gave me a great outlet during a difficult time for me. It was nice learn about the characters and seeing how much they grew. I loved the authors writting style and how they just made the characters come to life.

I just could not get into this book. I'm sorry but it was approved to me 1 day before publication and I tried reading it in one day but it just did not keep my eye. This is my review and thoughts only. Thank you to Netgalley and Velvet Publishing for my honest review
