SYNOPSIS

Friendship, loss and a tantalizing trip to Paris in this highly praised #1 Amazon Best Seller! Amy and Kat had planned a secret trip to Paris. Even Amy’s husband wouldn’t know about it. But when Amy loses Kat to cancer, she knows the plan is gone forever. Or is it?

Guided by memories of her friend and dissatisfaction with her own calorie-counting life in Phoenix, Amy sneaks off to Paris while her husband is away on a business trip. Once there, she’s robbed, stalked, arrested and almost kidnapped. Worse, she finds that all her problems have come right along with her. Through her adventures, laced with luscious descriptions of food and Paris, Amy learns that often in life, love and friendship, nothing is exactly as it seems. Grab a croissant and settle in for a decidedly non-touristy trip to the City of Light.

My Review

It 's an exciting book with some touching moments but also lots of humor and irony, food and beautiful landscapes

Kat and Amy had a plan, make a trip to Paris, in secret without telling even to Amy's husband. Kat unfortunately has lost her battle with cancer. Now Amy has the opportunity to make this journey alone: the husband goes away for work for 10 days. Will she have the courage to do?

Amy is unemployed and takes care of the home full-time, makes a lot of manual labor but according to her friend Kat had to be more daring, make better use of her artistic skills. She's always on a diet, but loves food, she hates her life but doesn't dare to change it. It was really interesting to see evolving her, try changing her monotonous and boring life.

Before you start reading this book I recommend you have a full stomach because so many foods are nominated, both savory and sweet, that is constantly hungry.

It was a quick and flowing read but enjoyable, an intriguing journey into the most romantic city in the world.
