Full review at Wild and Wonderful Reads

Paris is Always a Good Idea is a warm hug — sweet and funny and full of feels!

This standalone contemporary romance/women’s fiction by Jenn McKinlay is the perfect escape we all probably need right now! The story takes us on a trip across Europe for the emotional journey of Chelsea Martin as she tries to find her joie de vivre (and maybe love while she’s at it) again. This book has a completely immersive setting, colorful characters, and is loaded with emotions!

Chelsea lost a part of herself when her mother passed away seven years ago. She used work as a band-aid but didn’t realize how much she is missing until her sister confronted her after their father’s announcement that he’s going to remarry. I was super invested in Chelsea’s attempt to re-discover herself — her character development is wonderful! The Euro-trip she decides to revisit from before her mom’s death when she is at her happiest was full of laugh-out-loud moments and the growth and love she set out to find.

I couldn’t get enough of the dynamic between Chelsea and Jason! I adore hate-to-love stories! The banter is on point, and their feelings unraveling is *chef’s kiss* so good!

Overall, I recommend Paris is Always a Good Idea to those looking for a feel-good, transportive romance!
