Rating 3,5 stars rounded to 4.
I consider this novel a lovely urban fairy tales set in this time. I consider it a fairy tales because there's a lot of think that would not be possible in real life like travelling to USA/Europe without any working permit. This would take quite a long time and it would be necessary due to the shop exchange and the necessity of working in a foreign country.
That said I found this story quite enjoyable and entertaining. I loved the vivid descriptions of Paris and the Parisian characters, not likeable but very life like.
Sarah is a strange characters, for the best part of the books she's naive and idealistic but she's also able to change and turn into a more assertive and interesting characters.
I was not very fond of her romance that seemed more of a fantasy based on good chemistry than a concrete love story.
I think that the main character of this story is Paris. I loved the descriptions of the city and it made me crave to be there.
I thinks it was an entertaining read and I recommend it but please remember that this is a fairy tale, a sort of dream a not a contemporary romance.
Many thanks to HQN and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
