The description of the book does not do it enough justice. It ended up being more than what I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. It was not just about an American small town girl on a life changing adventure to Paris, France in pursuit of her career goals but a love story as well. I really enjoyed reading this book. I was actually sad when it ended because I wanted to see even more of the characters because I liked most of them.
Del is in Paris for a perfume competition for a spot in a renowned Perfume company. She has a twin named Jen back home in the states and this is her first time out on her own. Del second guesses herself and nearly sabotages herself out of the competition. Del is quiet and smart about the competition but still makes friends and doe not sink to dirty tricks like other competitors. When Del starts relaxing and thinking a lot about the others instead of only herself everything seems to fall into place before her. There are many other great characters in the book. It is worth a read to find out about the rest of them yourself.
I think I enjoyed the book so much because Del is a relatable character. She is klutzy, relatively down to earth, and she had thoughts that many of us have. She wasn't just a fairy tale princess type of person.
I received this book for free to read from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions in this review are 100% my own.
