sarahsbookstack 's review for:

The Paris Model by Alexandra Joel
4.0

I love this book because it takes place in two places I really want to visit, Australia and Paris.

Grace lives in Australia. She loses her father at a young age and her best buddy "Uncle Siddy" goes to fight the way.... And never returns.
She has the chance to go to Paris to work for Christian Dior as a young woman.

I thought that would be it. She'd live this glamorous life as a model in a great city for a great designer. But she gets a bit more than she bargained for when she falls in love with Philippe. She also discovers some family secrets.

I absolutely love that this was inspired by a real woman and I love getting to see historical figures such as Jacqueline Bouvier too.
