Thank you to Putnam and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of The Paris Connection! All opinions in this review are my own.
After a few days in Venice, Hannah and Simon are racing to make their train for Amsterdam to attend Simon's sister's wedding. While they just barely make it, there is something wrong with their ticket and instead of their romantic couchette, Hannah and Simon must sit in coach for the long journey. Desperate for more room, Hannah leaves Simon sleeping and finds open seats in another part of the train. Unbeknownst to her, the train separates in the night and Hannah is now Paris-bound. Hannah must now spend the day in Paris as she waits for the next train to Amsterdam.
I was immediately drawn into this novel from the first chapter. I loved the hilarious (funny when it's not happening to you) opening chapter as Hannah and Simon are trying to make their train. Hannah's predicament continued to amuse me as the novel went on.
I wasn't a fan of how dismissively Hannah talks to herself, but I am glad she gains more confidence in herself as the book goes on.
For only taking place over one day, the adventure of the novel never dragged. I loved reading about these snippets of Paris!
I recommend if you are needing a vacation full of adventure!
