Alexis Hall has a terrible habit of stuffing my heart in a blender and making me drink a feelings smoothie.

Too graphic? Maybe. Still true? Absolutely.

One thing I continue to love about Hall's stories is how honest and raw they are in regards to representation. In this case, I got to see my mental health described in detail, chapter by chapter, in frank and debilitating detail. As harsh as that felt initially, it's exactly what I want from my queer writers. I want to see myself in fiction. And personally, that's what Paris did for me more than any other queer romance I've picked up so far.

Beyond that, it's funny and cozy as hell. I think I enjoyed the fictional Bake Expectations more than it's real world counterpart. (Seriously, taco week was a crime). And the book shows us, once again, that romance comes in all forms. If you liked any of Hall's previous books, you'll love Paris.
