I love a romance and this was perfection! This author has quickly become a favourite of mine! A great well written book with great chemistry

i did not enjoy this novella. I found it boring and lack luster. i enjoyed the previous novella from the same author

I requested this book years ago, and am no longer interested in reading. Thank you for the opportunity.

Kiss me in Paris did not hold my attention at all. I wasn't a fan of the romance or the guy character and I think it had a trope I was not a fan of. It had an interesting cover and plot though! Thank you Netgalley and publishers for allowing chance to read and review. One star because it was not finished at the time.

One star is generous seeing as I didn't rate it at all on goodreads. It was meant to be cute but the characters... John-Luc may be the most annoying guy I've ever (fictionally) met.

I really wanted to like this book - I lived in Paris myself and was eager to see a love story.
I just didn't get involved as much, and finishing the read felt more like a chore than pleasure... bummer.

Once again, Catherine Rider made me want to travel really badly, especially since Paris has been on my list for a really long time! I loved the characters and the story, so I would definitely recommend.

It took me long and finally get to review this. The setting is perfect for a romantic story. Unfortunately, I was not feeling the story. As much as I want to feel giddy with the characters, I felt most of the time it is predictable that I had struggled finishing it.

It was a romantic book giving an idea about wanting love for myself. It was really cute. I want to thank the author for letting me read the story.

This didn't feel new and excited but rather predictable. It was very formulaic and did not hold my attention at all.

This book is the perfect light hearted read for the colder winter months.
A whirlwind tale of young live in Paris had me swooning from start to end. This story wasn’t just any fairytale, it was peppered with real life situations such as loss and illness. This novel brought me a little bit of sorrow, a great amount of fun and a whole lot of love!
10/10 and I would surely read it again!

Reviewing for NetGalley

I am a first time reader of Catherine Rider. I felt as though I missed a lot in this book maybe because it is tied in with kiss me in New York. It was a good read but I did need to put it down and come back because I was over how annoying the main character Serena was.

This was a fun and romantic young adult love story that set in where else but Paris. For twenty four hours two young people will go around The most romantic city in the world trying to find something they’ve lost. When Serena and Jean Luc are forced in each others company, they go around the city, each with their own agenda. For Serena, its trying to live theough memories of her father who has recently passed and for Jean Luc, a muse for his photography class. Each place they go to does spark something in them and pretty soon its becoming apparent that it would be hard to say goodbye. Can twenty four hours all it takes to form a lastig connection?
Kiss Me in Paris will definitely make you jump on a plane and experience Paris for yourself and maybe fall in love along the way.

Book Review- Kiss Me in Paris by Catherine Rider

Serena is on a mission. She wants to experience Paris just as her mom and dad did on their honeymoon. She plans to make a scrape book for her mother, so the memory of her father doesn’t fade. She even has a set itinerary.
The author, of course, creates situations that stop her from following it. First her mother can’t come and second her sister isn’t available. I love how she is paired with a stranger who tags along for his own reasons. Then nothing goes right. Serena can’t believe how her trip is turning out. John-Luc is her companion and seems to be causing more issues than helping. It is fun to read the situations they find themselves. They are so different that their views are interesting. They bicker constantly because of their differences.
I like how Serena’s grief is more about her than her mother as she first thought. She starts working through her sadness with John-Luc’s help which surprises her. John-Luc has his own issues which you learn farther in the story. He doesn’t realize he has them until his ex shows up in the story. It is a fun read and I liked how Serena’s roommate is Charlotte from the first book. I liked seeing Charlotte and Anthony again. It was a great read. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Such an adorable, well written quick read for young adults. Enjoyable characters and plot line, I happily read it one day and was delighted.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read it in exchange for an honest review, I’ll definitely be picking up the other titles by Catherine Rider to read in the future!

Kiss Me in Paris is a charming novel by a Catherine Rider. It follows a determined but naive young girl who arrives in Paris and is immediately surprised that things don’t turn out exactly as she planned. The plot is cute but predictable. However, I read this book because I love all things Paris. This book is a fun read nonetheless. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher. These opinions are entirely my own.

A fun and light read! It made me think I was actually in Paris. If you liked love and gelato give this book a chance!

I liked it, but I wasn't amazed
I voluntarily reviewed an Reader Copy of this book which I received through Netgalley.

I don't have anthing to say about this book, I was not impressed at all, the only thing that I liked was names of places in Paris which reminded me of my own trip there.

Okay, so if any of you are avid readers on my blog, you'll remember that back in January I did a dual review of Together in Midnight, and the author's first book, Kiss Me in New York (link here). Well, if you were also following me on Twitter at that time (not likely, I know, but still) you would've seen the following tweet:

https://twitter.com/BookLovinBelle/status/950421270914650112

And guess what? *Both* authors not only commented on the tweet, but also agreed to read each other's books!

Why do I mention this? Because in that same tweet, Catherine Rider also mentioned that she was going to be writing another book set in Paris!!! (So I guess you can say that this book has been on my TBR since then?)

Anyways, back to my review: I enjoyed reading this book even more than Kiss Me in New York!

So, just like in the author's last book, this one centers around two teens experiencing some kind of pain: the death of her father for Serena, and the rejection of a family member for Jean-Luc. And I'm just going to say this once: why is it that whenever a parent is dead in YA it's the result of a car accident?

Continuing on though: I LOVED SERENA AND JEAN-LUC AS A COUPLE SO MUCH <3

For one, they both had a shared interest in photography! Well, I guess it wasn't really an interest for Serena so much as a longing to give her mother the perfect gift, but still, this played out so well in the book! Serena just wanted to see the sites for the album, but Jean-Luc was right there to show her the error of her doing so. It was unbelievably adorable how they balanced each other out!

And probably my favorite part about the book? How well Catherine Rider described Paris!!! I actually went to Paris a year ago and saw pretty much all of the sites mentioned, and the descriptions were so accurate. It was truly amazing for me to be able to visualize everything so clearly nearly a year after I'd been there.

Overall? This was a fantastic follow-up book. Easily four-and-a-half stars, and I hope the author continues writing more books in this series!

And PS, for all you Anna and the French Kiss lovers? Try this book out instead. I promise you that you will like it ten times better!
