The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

So, it saddens me to write this review because as a usual Lucy Foley advocate; this books was definitely disappointing to me. If you’re familiar with her work, this book is written just like her other thrillers. 

You’ll follow the main character, Jess, as she takes off to Paris to connect with her brother. However, when she arrives; things are not what they seem. From there, you’ll meet other apartment tenants whose each have their own story that intertwine. 

Starting out, this story was just slow for me. I had a hard time getting “into it” and the story just really wasn’t picking up or developing. Once I started to get into the meat and potatoes of the story, I just didn’t find it interesting and just really wanted it to end. I was surprised at a few elements of the story that I didn’t predict, which helped bumped the star rating. 

I’m not sure if it’s because the style of writing was so familiar, but overall this read for me was just, ok. If you’re a Lucy Foley fan, I recommend giving it a try and seeing for yourself how it feels for you!
