I was completely blown away by One Paris Summer. The cover attracted me to read it as it looks very inviting, and man, am I glad I picked it up! It is beautifully written, it was light and fun to read, but oh, the plot twists and turns where just the best!! Camille made her life such a living hell! Oh boy, she was quite mean, but the plot twists and turns this caused where very entertaining, as it led Sophie to Matthieu, and then the romance part really kicked in good!! Their romance started of very cute and it only got better during the book, it was just the perfect Paris summer romance for this type of book!! The ending was just the best conclusion, and I think Sophie made the right choice and did the right thing in the end. I certainly hope for more fabulous books like this from this author, this one was just in one word, tres magnifique!
