Told with warmth, wit, and humor, We’ll Always Have Paris is a moving and uplifting novel about two people giving love a second chance in later life—the choices they make, the lives they lead, and the love they share.

Imagine you meet the love of your life at seventeen. Imagine you dream of a life together, working as an artist in Paris. Then imagine he unexpectedly dumps you.
Now imagine you meet him again when you are sixty-four. How would you react?
I'm trying hard not to give any spoilers here, but I will say that a lot of things happened that wouldn't have happened if I had been Rosie.
A bit disappointing, I think.
And not much Paris either.
