Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Hannah Bond who is currently liin London, gets a surprise visit from her alcoholic mother. Her mother was going through her deceased grandmothers paperwork where she finds information on a place in Paris. Hannah and her mom travel to Paris together to find out what her grandmother was doing in Paris. As they are finding out more information about Hannah's grandmothers, Hannah's and her mother's relationship grows.

A nice story with hints of history and mystery. Why did Ivy not sell the Paris apartment when she went to
America? Why leave clues to be found two generations later? Why did Marla show up on New Year's Eve, trying to be a mother? This story has a good plot, the characters are well written, and the narrative flows nicely. A good book for the beach, vacation, or free time at home.
