(I've read so many great books about Paris during this wonderful month of Paris in July that I'm a little nervous about mixing up my plots. Paris My Sweet is yet another one.)
Amy Thomas (get ready for the swell of covetousness that is about to overtake you) goes to Paris to write ad copy for Louis Vuitton. That's an actual job, people. And the job is in Paris.
But if you have read a single moving-and-starting-over book about Paris then you know the sad truth is that even in Paris one has trials. Even if one is making one's living writing ad copy for Louis Vuitton. Even if one is living in an amazing apartment with a view of Sacré-Cœur. Even if one works from an office on the Champs-Élysées. Even if one spends one's after work hours perusing the wonderful sweet shops in Paris.
Yes, poor Amy Thomas can't find a decent French boyfriend. We all have our trials.
Fortunately, she finds consolation in the amazing sweets and she shares all that deliciousness in this little memoir.
Read it. It is yummy.
I listened to this as an audiobook versus reading. It was about Paris and New York, so that alone earns three stars. If you are interested in finding out where the best desserts can be found in either town, then it's worth a read.
