Notes from Jan 2019 group

Paris for One by JoJo Moyes – Discussed on Jan 2, 2019, at Geneseo Public Library

Nell is twenty-six and has never been to Paris. She's never even been on a romantic weekend away—to anywhere—before. Traveling abroad isn't really her thing. But when Nell's boyfriend fails to show up for their mini-vacation, she has the opportunity to prove everyone—including herself—wrong.  Alone in Paris, Nell finds a version of herself she never knew existed: independent and intrepid. Could this turn out to be the most adventurous weekend of her life? Funny, charming, and irresistible, Paris for One is quintessential Jojo Moyes—as are the other stories that round out the collection.

This book contained one midsize story (Paris for One) and 8 short stories. Paris For One was easy to read, and its characters were better defined due to its length.   Readers who had visited Paris in real life or want to enjoyed JoJo’s descriptions of the city sights.  It was an interesting plot.  Most of our group thought Paris for One was just OK.  Of the short stories we only liked two of them:  Crocodile Shoes and Last Year’s Coat.  No one wanted to recommend this book to others.
