I gave this a 3.75 out of 5 stars.
I liked that In Paris With You was told with poetry. I marked the lines and I really liked. I liked that Eungene changed from when he was a teenagers. I didn't like him when he was seventeen. I liked Tatiana when she was fourteen and how she loved to read and used text from books to explain how she felt. I liked the decision she makes towards the end. I didn't love In Paris With You though, I felt like something was missing from it.

This wasn't really my style of book. The concept is cool but I didn't like the writing style. I stopped about 20% of the way in when I lost interest.

I received this eARC from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I love reading stories written in verse, and In Paris With You was just a perfect read because of this style. Unfortunately, I could not get into the story. The characters lacked energy and were uninspiring. I felt annoyed with both Tatiana and Eugene, the two main characters who happen to randomly meet again in Paris after breaking up a decade earlier. Maybe if they were older, I would’ve been able to connect with them a bit more. I don’t know. I did enjoy the flashbacks and the romance, but I am also not sure if this is appropriate for the younger YA audience – why was this even categorized as YA?

In Paris ith You is a story about Eugene and Tatiana who after years apart reconnect in Paris. The author writes beautifully in poetry/prose style which took some getting used to.
Loved the story and reading something outside of my normal genre.
This review will be posted on my social media review site as well as other social accounts.

A cutesy romance, written in poetry-esque fiction using present tense and flashbacks. If you can get past the structure, it's a cute story about loving, losing love, and reconnections.

In Paris With You is a cute romance with a young lady who is impossible to dislike! The story was just a bit slow for my own taste.

This book was an interesting one for me with a lot to dissect. One of the most intriguing parts of this book, initially, for me was the Parisian setting; however, most of this book felt like it could've happened anywhere. Additionally, the writing style is beautiful, but if you're not used to reading this poetry/prose style, it may take a while to get used to, as it did for me.

It did take me a while to get into, but it was short and I finished it quickly once I made up my mind to do so. I personally didn't find myself very attached to the characters, and I think it will be a forgettable story for me. This story definitely has an audience that will adore it, but unfortunately, it just wasn't my favorite.

I unfortunately DNFed this book. I did give it a chance with a few chapters but it just wasn't my thing. I was drawn in by the cover and the fact that it was set in Paris, my absolute favorite city on Earth. I will say that the cover is definitely a selling point as well as the premise of the story! I didn't like the prose format, though; I think it is probably better in audiobook format and may be interested in giving that a try. I also feel like it wasn't really young adult--strictly due to the ages of the characters--and maybe that was also something that threw me off.

“Boredom exists everywhere, you know. It’s called different things.
We say ennui, the English spleen,
the Russian khandra.
But changing the name doesn’t alter the feeling. You can’t escape your mind.
Boredom is not a place you can leave behind.”

In Paris with You was not my first experience in terms of “poetry fiction”, but I quite enjoyed the author’s style. More often than not, it reminded me of a narrative technique I had fallen in love with at the age of 16.
The story followed the fortunate encounter between two past lovers, on the subway, ten years after their break up. It was both written in present scenes and flashbacks, to allow the reader a better understanding of their situation. Tatiana was a PhD student, writing a thesis about Caillebotte… The art historian in me was so glad to read about her ideas on the topic.
And I loved, loved , loved reading about Eugene’s thoughts: the way he processed his feelings and thoughts was quite similar to mine. Especially when he kept on thinking about unimportant things during the most important events that were happening to him.
If you’re up for a contemporary Adult, a second chance story, both hilarious and sad at times, written in lines, lines, lines… In Paris with You will definitely satisfy your expectations.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me this copy in exchange for an honest review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

Like most novels in verse I've encountered, In Paris With You is incredibly easy to fall into. And set against a Parisian backdrop, there's an enchanting serendipitous nature to this story that warms your heart. It's a tale of misssed love and second chances that is both comforting and hopeful and even a little bittersweet. I just had this overwhelming content feeling after finishing this and it was just so lovely.

“In Paris With You” was my first read by Clémentine Beauvais. It is listed as Young Adult but really falls more so into the New Adult category since the characters are in their early twenties.
I first fell in love with the beautiful cover! I mean, just look at it! Adorbs! I really wanted to love this book. However, I was turned off by the main characters almost instantly. Lying about being pregnant with a baby that has Down Syndrome? All for a seat on the bus?! Preposterous.
The story was a quick read because it is written in verse. It took a little bit for me to get into this style of writing but when I did, it was enjoyable for the most part. Overall, this was a confusing but ok read. The characters were pretty unlikeable and there were some problematic issues throughout. It did have some cute/ funny moments. 2.5 rounded up to 3.

In Paris With You is a cute romance. It's about young love. It's about losing this love and reconnecting years later. Obviously, it's better after the characters have grown and lived and learned. It's a fast entertaining read that romance fans will adore. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Tatiana and Eugene were thrown together because her sister and his friend were in a relationship. Eugene rejected Tatiana’s love as teenagers, but when they reconnect as adults, he’s changed and now he’s fascinated by her. This lyrical book tells the story of two people who failed to connect as children but have the chance to reconnect as adults.

I don’t feel like this really is a teen book. The ideas and thoughts feel very adult, both the concept of reconnecting with the one who got away, changes and growth through time, and the emphasis on sex. I struggled to get into the story or care about the characters. It just wasn’t for me.

I received an advanced reviewer copy from St. Martin’s press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What It’s About: Tatiana and Eugene are reunited on a train in Paris after 10 years apart. The novel then introduces us to young Eugene and Tatiana, Tatiana was a younger girl who was quiet, Eugene was a boy who was jaded. Tatiana falls for Eugene, and then something happens. Ten years later, Tatiana is a sophisticated graduate student with the world in front of her and Eugene finds himself falling for her.

What I loved: This novel is written like free-verse poetry and I found the writing style quite unique and it was one of the reasons I kept reading the book, the poetry and way the author framed the story made it a better read then it would be if the novel was written as most are with chapters.

What I didn’t like so much: I found most of the characters unlikeable and depressing. While that might have been the point to make it more realistic, it just seemed a bit unbelievable. For example, Eugene’s transition from depressed nonbeliever to hopeless romantic seemed unexplained and thus it was frustrating to read his thoughts and motivations.

Who Should Read It: People who want a uniquely written book. People who like free-verse in their books.

General Summary: A will they or won’t they romance set over ten years.

I did not like this book. I don’t even know how to review it. There’s a lot of words, like, a lot. Please, just take the cover for cute and move on.

I think the story of this book is cute and I like it a lot. However, I'm not a huge fan of books written in verse/poetry form. Therefore, while I like the story itself and it is good if that is the type of writing you enjoy, I would not personally read it again.

Lovely lovely story with good writing, wonderful characters and perfect setting. Who could ask for more? I will look for more form this author.

Thank you St. Martin's Press / Wednesday Books for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I started this yesterday and it's definitely a quick read since it's written in verse. I couldn't appreciate this book because the format was messy. I'm not sure what the final copy looks like and I bet it's better. Unfortunately, I'm giving this one star because I was bothered by Tatiana. When she lied about her pregnancy and told her "baby" has Down Syndrome so she can have a free seat in public transportation, it was a killer for me. You don't use disability as an excuse to get privileges you aren't entitled to. That was trashy and insensitive.

Don't get me started on suicide. I was livid. It was dealt horribly. No matter how cute Eugene and Tatiana's story is, they're both insensitive craps. FYI, this isn't a YA novel because the characters are twenty plus years old. I don't recommend this poetry collection.

Beyond meh. I'm not sure if the problem here was the translation or something more fundamental. This tried to hard to be poetry and ended up being hard to read prose. It barely skimmed the surface of read-able (as in, not really) and I'm not even sure that I would call its treatment of characters skin-deep. It need a lot of work, editing, background, plot development, character development . . . I would recommend skipping this one.

In Paris With You came out yesterday on January 8, 2019 and you can purchase HERE.

Eugene who, as an adolescent, had had a relationship with time that we might characterize as jaded, indifferent, passive, Bored, who, as a teenager, had never impatiently waited for anything-- seriously, nothing at all--- had become, as an adult, like everyone else. (You can give his phone the credit--or the blame-- for that particular development.) Like everyone else, he waited vaguely for the next thing, always the same: the next email, the next weather forecast, the next election, the next plane crash, the next death of a singer from the 1980s, the net terrorist attack, the next pay check,; an adult with a miniature attention span, like everyone else, refreshing, updating, nibbling at time like a ham baguette.

This book is written in poetry format and if you’re not used to it then it can definitely throw you off. I’m one of those people who have no idea what art or poetry are supposed to be telling me until someone suggests an idea and then I’m like “Ohhhhh... ok, I get that!” This book isn’t so much like that. It’s a lot more readable than most poetry but there are parts that just go on with the descriptions and since I’m not a big poetry fan they did get old. The good things about the book were that it was short and it caught my attention right away. The beginning just made me want to keep reading regardless of the format. The overall plot was cute and I loved the romance vibe. It’d be a perfect book to read in February!
