Finally read this and it was very cute! Quick read and a bit predictable but overall a good time. Will look for more from this author!

This book is about our FMC, Callie who flew to Paris six months ago to be with her boyfriend who then dumped her. As this book is set in 1999, Callie and her friends plan to spend the remaining 4 days in Paris before flying back to the States but she bumps into her best friend’s brother, Julien and sparks fly. My opinion on this book is that it’s cute but it falls flat. It’s just not that memorable enough for me. However, I do recommend it if you’re bored and in the mood for a quick cute read.

This story was a sweet one! Who doesn’t love anything set in Paris, it’s already dreamy right? It was predictable, but overall a cute story.

Excellent writing, I was hooked almost immediately. Romance is quickly becoming a favourite genre of mine, and this did not disappoint.

Fun friendships. Sweet Paris. Falling in love. It was exactly what I wanted it to be. Nothing to write home about, but sweet for a sick day.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for being able to read this as an ARC. These are my honest reviews.
This book was super cute. Set in Paris, our main character arrives to be with her lover only to be dumped. In four days, you see love and friendship bloom for her. Nothing super grand happens and what I men by that is its not like something major happened to force the two to finally reveal their feelings.

Thank you @netgalley for giving me this ARC

This book was not for me. I wish it was because I love Paris (ok so I’ve never been but I know I will love it!) however this book just didn’t hit its mark for me.
They had 4 days to fall in love and it was an instant love feeling and I don’t love that trope. I think that for some people they will really like this book however for me it fell flat.

Tropes:
Instant Love
Paris
Eiffel Tower
Rom Com
Holiday-New Year’s Eve love
Heartfelt female friendships
Closed Door

Synopsis:
Can you fall in love in four days?
Paris. New Year's Eve, 1999.
Six months ago, Callie arrived in Paris to be with the love of her life, who promptly dumped her. Determined to succeed despite this drastic change of plans, Callie creates a life for herself in Paris, supported by her two closest friends, Lila and Emilie.
Now it’s the turn of the century and she’s returning to the U.S. in four days, ready to start the new century and the next chapter of her life… until she meets Emilie's brother Julien on New Year’s Eve.
Sparks fly, and what Callie thought was just a fun fling with her best friend's brother quickly turns into something more. But does Julien feel the same way? And what will this do to her friendship with Emilie?
Her time in Paris could offer a second chance for true love, or just another shattered heart.

It was a cute short read. I enjoyed the dialogue and descriptions. If you like cute romantic novels I would definitely recommend.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Callie and Julien. They meet in Paris. Callie has just quit her job and is moving home in 4 days. Julien with 2 friends come to a party and meets Callie. There is an instant attraction. They go sightseeing all over Paris. They spend a lot of time together. The last day together they decide that Julien will come home with Callie and stay two weeks. The fell in love with one another.

Wow what a book thank you ever so much for the opportunity to review. I could not put it down. Would definitely recommend to others!

This book was really sweet. I loved the friendships that Callie gained during her time in Paris. The references to all the food they ate made me really hungry as well! I need to go to Paris now and eat everything they ate.. If your looking for a very sweet and adorable book with lots of details about Paris, this is for you.

I received an ARC copy of this book via Netgalley and the Publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Callie's time in Paris started out rocky. She came to Paris to be with the love of her life after waiting for her to finish her degree. After a whirlwind romance, Callie decided to pack everything up to move to Paris and chase her happily ever after. That happily ever after came crashing down mere hours after landing in Paris when Vic told Callie that things weren't working out and he no longer wanted to see her. Instead of traveling back to the US with her tail tucked between her legs, Callie stayed in Paris. She had always dreamed of living in Paris and here she was. She wasn't going to let the opportunity slip from her fingers. So Callie stayed and created some amazing friendships with Lila and Emilie and began to explore the city of love.

Callie's time in Paris was drawing to a close. She begun to miss her family and friends and decided after New Year's, it was time to go home. That's when her world flipped upside down when a blue eyed boy walked into Emilie's apartment. There was an instant connection. One that neither one of them could fight. It was as if Paris wasn't ready to let Callie leave with a sour taste in her mouth of love. But was this more than a fling? Could they really last more than the four days that Callie had left in Paris? Could Julien's and Callie's hearts withstand another heartbreak? Or were they destined for something greater?

Honestly, the descriptions of Paris and the historical part of it was beautifully written. At times, it felt like I was in Paris walking down the Sienne River with Callie and her friends. The book was decently written but honestly, I could not root for any of the characters. I couldn't connect with Callie at all. She was just so whiny and I tried to put myself in her shoes but I just couldn't bring myself to like her. Same with Julien. Some of the phrases and things that he said took me from being engrossed in the story to realize that it was a story. Almost like everything he was saying was a line to feed Callie to get her in bed. It just seemed so fake. It's the stuff we always want to hear but coming out of Julien's mouth just didn't feel right.

This book's entire premise is insta-love. I didn't realize how heavy in insta-love it was or I would have not picked it up being my least favorite trope. I just find it completely unrealistic and I just do not enjoy it. Again these are all my own opinions. What may not worked for me, may be your next favorite book. Overall, I just did not enjoy this book. I can appreciate the descriptions and historical context of Haddock's description of Paris but otherwise, this book was not for me.

This was a first time read for me by this author. It was a beautiful, love at first sight story, and great for a cozy holiday read. The author did a really nice job of setting the stage and taking the reader to Paris and seeing the city through Callie's eyes. The story was fast-paced and kept my attention all the way through. It show-cased a mix of romance, new beginnings, and strong female friendships. Callie had come to Paris to be with her love, but is now nursing a broken heart. She has created a life for herself there with her friends, but is now ready to return home in just a few short days. But then she meets Julien, and things don't seem so cut and dry anymore.
This was a beautiful story about love and heartbreak and also about letting yourself heal and feel what you need to feel, before moving on. The story was entertaining and fun and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I would definitely like to read more books by this author.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I didn't enjoy this book very much, the characters were not very well-rounded, things just happened as expected in this kind of romance.

oh geesh, i really wanted to enjoy this book. but alas, i did not. that doesn't mean it's not for you! i still hope you try it and that YOU love it! because that's what matters when you read! :)

3.5 STARS ROUNDED TO A 4 ⭐️

This story was very sweet and was the exact depiction of what i feel like falling in love in Paris would feel like. Although it was a sweet, quick and enjoyable read it wasn’t memorable for me. I feel like it was very much monotone in the sense that nothing surprised me.

I loved the friendship between the female main character and her friends and would have liked to see more interaction between them. I felt like there was a TON of time spent on setting the scene. I also felt like the conversation between Callie and Julien should have happened so much earlier than it did and not behind closed doors.

While i do think this is a cute, it just fell a little flat for me.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and the publisher for supplying an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Mmm…. I took me a long time to get into this book.
I wasn’t super fan of Callie, she fall is love super fast and that is okay! What I didn’t like to much was that she was so insecure of her own feelings and she projected that on Julien.
Julien was just out of a relationship and sure Callie wasn’t aware at the beginning but even after knowing she kept hiding her feelings and expecting Julian to know!

Callie and Julien coming finally together felt a little bit rushed and a little more of character development was needed.

Something that I truly loves was how Paris was portrayed, it truly felt like being there.

Callie was a real gem. Who can't relate to her? She kind of just speaks what she means, second-guesses herself, and falls way too hard and too fast. Julien is hot and he's sweet and he's her best friend's brother. They finally meet on the last 4 days she has in Paris. It's crazy to start something, right? Or maybe it'd be crazy not to?

I thought this story was delightful. I enjoyed that there was no big separation or crisis, that everything was real and on a normal level. It was never a question of will they or won't they, but should they? And what happens if you meet the one, right before you're supposed to leave somewhere? Heart or head? Which do you follow? You've been burnt before, but this could be spectacular. Better than all those rom-coms you've ever watched.


This is the kind of book you curl up with a cup of cocoa and a few hours to yourself and let yourself be immersed in someone else's problems. No super-contrived plot, but something real and relatable if only you take out she's living in Paris. I would definitely read this again. It gave me all the warm and fuzzies. I'm eager to read more from this author.

It was a cute short read. It was just a normal romantic comedy in my opening. Not very realistic and I’m not sure if it’s because I read the ARC it needed better editing as words were misspelled and there were grammatical errors. If you like cute romantic novels I would definitely recommend. Thank you @netgallery and author @lexihaddock for letting me read the ARC!

This was a really quick read for me. That being said, it's a good and a not so good thing. I thought the characters were okay, but I didn't connect with them hugely. But, I did enjoy some of the dialogue and descriptions. Cliche at times but honestly, I enjoyed that. When I read an international romance, I hope for those types of feelings and plot lines.
