2.5 stars rounded up to 3 stars on Goodreads. Thank you Delacorte Romance and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC!

For a romance book, I thought that the romance was the weakest part of the plot. I really liked the fashion influencer part, especially when they created the festival to help the environment. I always love books about this subject (this should be obvious, I’m literally posting this review online). The romance was this interesting mix of multiple fake dating plotlines to cover up relationships and there was so much miscommunication. Also, all of the drama was rushed in the last 10%. It was pretty obvious what would happen, and I wish it was more spread out or happened a little earlier in the novel.

I had a few issues with the writing style. There were WAY too many characters that didn’t serve a purpose and I kept getting them confused. There would also often be useless facts like “Daniel had to leave, but everyone else stayed.” To be honest, I didn’t even know who Daniel was until that moment in the book. Why not let everyone stay? Why does Daniel have to leave? There were several occasions like that where it felt like filler material to me. It wasn’t necessary.

The switching between French and English felt disconnected and unnatural to me. All of the characters spoke in French normally (I think) except for specified moments, but occasionally French words would be included in conversations. That made it harder for me to tell apart the English conversations from the French ones.

Aurie is just finishing up high school in Paris where she is a fashion influencer more than an academic. She has dysmorphia which makes math and many life skills challenging. However the public loves her and she is always being followed by the paparazzi. Through some random events, Aurie is made to fake-date not just one, but two boys, one who is her best friend and one who is her math tutor. And because she is only seventeen, so many humorous events happen throughout this lighthearted story. Recommended for grades 8 and up. 3 stars because I didn't find much about this to be realistic/believable but it was still a fun read.

I really wanted to love this one because I adore books set in Paris, and the fashion influencer main character sounded so interesting. Unfortunately, there was a lot I struggled with. I wan't convinced by the romance, and it seems like the main character's entire personality is having dyscalculia and struggling with math. There are also French words sprinkled throughout the text for no reason (like "d'accord"). Rather than immersing me, this actually took me out of the story since I can tell that the author doesn't speak French due to a couple of errors and strange sentences (the same goes for Korean--there is a random and strangely written original K-Pop song in the book for some reason). I'm also not sure how I feel about the main character constantly referring to herself as disabled. Not for me.

I was really interested in this premise but the romance fell a little short for me. I felt like it was a fun, sweet, "fluffy" YA read and I know that some of my students will really enjoy this story and the characters. For me, it was just lacking a little in the chemistry so it was a cute read but fell a little short.

I didn't love this as much as the first book, but it was a solid read. I didn't feel as connected to the setting as I did with ARLtR, but the writing style was consistent.

This book was a cutesy little romance. It was a quick paced read with some relatable moments. I can’t imagine being that famous where everyone feels entitled to your business. Let alone trying to navigate that as a minor. Aurie is a very strong individual who wears her heart on her sleeve and bless her she tries to make everything better for everyone else except for herself. She finds herself needing to be honest and transparent with the ones who are close to her and with that she finds the answers she’s been desperately searching for! If you’re looking for a lighthearted YA read then this is definitely for you! Thank you to NetGalley and random house for this fun ARC!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I read and loved the author's previous book, All Roads Lead to Rome. So I had high expectations going into reading this book. This book definitely lived up to my expectations. It was just as fun and wonderful as the first one!

I don’t know that I’d recommend, it was just alright. There were some cute moments but it just fell short for me. There were a lot of things that I think could’ve been better fleshed out. The ending also felt a little rushed. I wasn’t super invested in Audie’s relationship with Remy or with Kylian. I also got really annoyed because there were French phrases/words thrown in very frequently and I kept having to stop and look it up so I knew what was going on. I get that she’s half American, half French living in Paris but it just felt pretentious for the reader.

Thanks to NetGalley, Random House Children’s and Delacorte Romance for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed reading Fedel's earlier title, All Roads Lead to Rome, so I was excited to read her latest story. This was a sweet story, but way too similar to her previous book and not quite as captivating. What this book has, however, is a hook that will entice a lot of young YA readers - social media influencers.

All Paths Lead to Paris is the story of Aurie, a young fashion influencer in Paris. Her agent has just created a fake relationship between Aurie and her best friend, Remy, a young musician. They seem to have the picture-perfect relationship that will keep the paparazzi covering both of them. But when Kylian unwittingly gets involved, Aurie starts to wonder where her true feelings lie. Of course, there is a love triangle because it is pretty obvious early on that Remy's feelings towards Aurie are not fake, but tries to hide them. At the same time, Aurie is trying to navigate having half of her family in the states and half in Paris, struggling to study for the French equivalent to the SAT, and trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life.

The story is predictable but is a fun read. My favorite character is definitely Remy's grandmother who seems to be the only one to see the big picture and acts something like a fairy godmother. Paris works wonderfully as a backdrop and including part of the storyline to focus on climate change is a good way to quietly get that into the conversation.

I loved All Roads Lead to Rome.
And was so excited to get my hands on All Paths Lead to Paris by Sabrina Fedel.
This book was so much fun with plenty of emotional depth.
This book was a delight. The romance is sweet, the banter is fun, and the setting is perfect.
So charming and delightful, with likeable characters, sweet romance, and a rich setting that had me wanting to visit Paris. It was the perfect summer romance read!

Seventeen-year-old Aurie is a fashion influencer in Paris who is fake-dating Remy St. Julien, who is a popular musician. Things seem perfect. Or at least they were until a chance encounter with Kylian at a Parisian drugstore. The Pappazini has a field day. When Kylian is hired by her agent to help tutor her in math, things get a little complicated. Aurie has mixed feelings, separating her public persona from what her heart really wants.

Cute, fast-paced romance set in Paris. This is the perfect beach read for fans of romance set in the City of Lights!

There's fake-dating, Paris, fashion influencers, and more Paris. What's not to like? The pacing is fast as readers follow Aurie and see a glimpse of what is really behind the public persona.

The relationship between Aurie and Remy might be a fake one, but even at the very start of the novel, there's definite chemistry. The confusion and struggle in deciding on what is expected of her or to follow her heart is one I'm sure will resonate with readers.

Kylian, with his activism, does seem at odds with Aurie. But even he's not all he seems. I liked their relationship, too.

A fun light romantic read that is perfect for a summer escape!

This book was exactly what you'd expect it to be. It was a (mostly) light-hearted romp through a fun city following a social media influencer and her fake (best friend) boyfriend. It definitely hit the "summer vibes" escapism I was looking for.

One HUGE positive that I want to shout out is the wonderful dyscalculia representation in this book. My daughter has dyscalculia and the book very accurately represented the struggles those with this deal with on a daily basis and the ways others judge them or see them as not intelligence when in fact they just struggle with this learning disability. I loved seeing this rep .that I've never seen before in a book and had a great conversation with my daughter about how it feels etc. This is such a wonderful thing about this book. Thank you!

The main reason I didn't give this book a 5 star review is that there wasn't enough drama with the two love interests. I know that sounds strange, but they were both too nice and understanding about everything which didn't feel realistic. It also took away an opportunity for a higher level of drama and intrigue in the story that could have had a stronger emotional pay off. Additionally, some of the lingo and way the main character talked (especially when she was live streaming) didn't feel authentically young. I am a secondary teacher, so I'm around teens all day. Some of this lingo and language felt more like the way I talked when I was in high school or how students talked 10 year ago. So, at times, it felt like someone my age trying to sound younger instead of like an authentically young person talking which pulled me out of the story. Examples; "party... is going to be epic!", "how I'm rolling tonight." It wasn't a huge deal or all the time, but it did pull me out.

Otherwise, this is a cute, sweet story that is fun and engaging to read.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing and author Sabrina Fedel for providing me with the eARC for "All Paths Lead to Paris", and for the opportunity to read and review it!

This was a very fun read, and I really enjoyed it!
In this story we meet 3 main characters: Aurie- a half American/half French teenage fashion influencer. Remy- a teenage musician and Aurie's best friend. Kylian- A friend and tutor of Aurie and Remy, who is also a environmental activist.

There are themes of friendship, fake dating, struggles with disability and multicultural identity, and activism for issues like climate change.
I really loved the way that this author addresses some serious issues, while still keeping the story light-hearted and fitting for young adult readers.
I think that reading about Aurie overcoming her fears, learning to live and be successful despite her disability and finding her place in the world even though she feels divided between her two nationalities is something that many different readers would be able to enjoy and potentially relate to!

Overall this was quite and easy, refreshing read. I would definitely recommend this for young readers, or anyone that enjoys cute happy-ending romances, and books highlighting social issues and challenges.

A cute, sweet, YA romance! I enjoyed the look at French life and culture, and I liked Aurie's growth through the book. The boys were both adorable and the ending made me happy.

I am so OBSESSED with Sabrina Fedel's YA romcoms set in European cities. The last book was all about Rome and this latest takes place in Paris. While there's a messy love triangle involving fake dating, tutors and secret pining, I adored all three of the main characters and the end was absolutely swoony. Bonus, the FMC has dyscalculia and extreme anxiety just thinking about math. She's also a big fashion influencer fake dating her friend, a big time rockstar/singer. Fans of Emily in Paris NEED to read this one. It's full of great neurodiversity rep, tons of fun, friendship, food and teens organizing a big music festival for a cause. Great on audio too and a new fav for me by the author. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy and @prhaudio for an ALC in exchange for my honest review!

All Paths Lead to Paris is as sweet and insubstantial as a wisp of cotton candy - or, more aptly, a macaron. It's a wholesome teen romance, with the easiest going love triangle I've ever read, but the lack of conflict ultimately undermines the story's charm.

As a protagonist, I can see how Aurelie would irritate readers, but honestly, I found her surprisingly entertaining and relatable (in, you know, an aspirational rich, celebrity, two hot boys vying for her attention, living a dream life in Paris sort of way) - maybe I, too, am just completely oblivious when others have crushes on me. Anyway, I liked her, and found her struggles with dyscalculia to be one of the book's stronger points.

But the writing lets Aurelie down, with, as I said before, too little actual conflict, a bit too much showing *with* telling (e.g., a character would do or say something, and Aurelie would then inform us that they're like xyz, which we can tell? from the moment that just happened?), and a slightly out of the blue and unbelievable plot point near the end. It loses its way with this plot choice, but it's still a cute enough, fast-paced love story, with escapist springy-summery vibes.

Thank you to Delacorte Romance for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review!

I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have received an advanced copy of All Paths Lead to Paris from NetGalley, and the author! 🫶

DNF at 40%

All Paths Lead to Paris has a lot of potential but unfortunately wasn't my cup of tea. I had difficulty with connecting with the main character personally because she kept using her learning disability as an excuse for why she couldn't do anything and it rubbed me the wrong way. I also wasn't connecting with the romance portion of the book either. I did love though that this book takes place in Paris and thought that part of it was a lot of fun along with exploring parts of the fashion world!

Now I want to travel to Paris!

Aurie McGinley is living the dream in Paris (or so it seems). Behind the influencer glamour and her fake relationship with a pop star, she’s trying to keep her real self and real feelings in check.

This was such a light and fun read!

I loved how it showed celebrity life and the pressure behind the perfect posts. It’s a great reminder that social media doesn’t always reflect reality!!

It was such a sweet romance!

Thank you Delacorte and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a cute, fast-paced, fake-dating, friends to lovers story! I was in a pretty big book slump but this was a light-hearted book that I enjoyed!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC!

This was a cute, sweet, young adult romance. Set in France, following the life of a young influencer as she struggles with a learning disability, split family, and trying to figure out who she is. I think its a great read, quick and easy.
