Summary
One of Popsugar’s Best New Books for Summer 2020
A 30-year-old woman retraces her gap year through Ireland, France, and Italy to find love - and herself - in this hilarious and heartfelt novel.
It's been seven years since Chelsea Martin embarked on her yearlong postcollege European adventure. Since then, she's lost her mother to cancer and watched her sister marry twice, while Chelsea's thrown herself into work, becoming one of the most talented fundraisers for the American Cancer Coalition, and with the exception of one annoyingly competent coworker, Jason Knightley, her status as most successful moneymaker is unquestioned.
When her introverted mathematician father announces he's getting remarried, Chelsea is forced to acknowledge that her life stopped after her mother died and that the last time she can remember being happy, in love, or enjoying her life was on her year abroad. Inspired to retrace her steps - to find Colin in Ireland, Jean Claude in France, and Marcelino in Italy - Chelsea hopes that one of these three men who stole her heart so many years ago can help her find it again.
From the start of her journey nothing goes as planned, but as Chelsea reconnects with her old self, she also finds love in the very last place she expected.

Good, but....
I really liked the idea of the story, and most of the book itself too. However, the dialogues were too stretched out, and the plot was a little weak. And, suffering from a loss myself at a similar age, some of the (latter) parts didn't resonate with me. If I stopped reading a chapter or 2 earlier, I would have finished it with a better feeling.

Love it!
Romance, travel and believing in love again. I love the story, the change of voices by the narrator. It makes you feel like you're listenning to Chelsea Martin herself tell the story and that's what the book is. I loved it!
The title is my only reason not to 5 star everything. It makes you think that's going to be all about Paris but as much as the most important part happens there, there is more than Paris to this book.
