I Heart Paris (I Heart, #3) Reviews


  • Monica (crazy_4_books)

    "GOOD COMEBACK FOR ANGIE AFTER THE DEBACLE OF THE SECOND BOOK"
    "I heart Paris" may be the best so far in the series, a 4.5 rating. I'm waiting to be blown away with this series to give a full 5 star rating.
    The plot line is a light comedy, as always, better developed compared to the second book and less dull. There's an evolution (for the better after some missteps) in the romantic Angie-Alex relationship. The annoying Jenny Lopes is AWOL for 99% of the book, Thank goodness! sadly, I know she's back in #4, I read the blurb. Alex's band is also more present in this book and we get to know his band mates and his ex-French-bitchy-girlfriend, who causes more than one disturbance in the paradisaical Paris trip for Angie & Alex. Angie finds a couple of new nemesis in this book. Poor Angie, she tries hard to be nice but she keeps gathering enemies along the way!
    I had fun, maybe more than with the first book. Hope the series doesn't go downhill from now on! Hope it goes up...

    Spoilers!


    Well Angela really annoyed me in this one. She wasn't acting like a grown woman, she was like a teenage girl. Even worse. In the last book, when Alex thought she was cheating on him, he came to LA to see her. And now she sees him walking and talking to his ex and she decides to run away?! She is not finding solutions to her problems, instead she is creating more problems for herself. Also, she deffinitely needs to stop drinking cuz it's not doing her any good. Overall, I didn't like this one.

  • Chelsey

    This is my favorite book in the series so far!
    Probably has something to do with the fact that I'd love to travel to Paris someday.
    I got completely caught up in Angela describing how beautiful Paris is, and it has made me want to go there even more.
    What I liked:
    - The progression of Angela and Alex's romance. They are obviously crazy over one another.
    - PARIS!!
    - Alex can speak French. Incredibly sexy!
    - The drama of ex girlfriends being drawn into the mix made for an interesting plot.
    - Introducing Alex's band mates to the reader more.

    What I didn't like:
    - Angela is rather silly. If I saw my boyfriend heading out of a bar with his ex-girlfriend, I would certainly follow them out OR have a seriously discussion about it later. There's no way I'd just take off!
    - She is kind of a walking disaster. I have a hard time believing the characters when they describe her as being beautiful. But then again, none of are perfect, so maybe this is a positive part of the book? That someone can still be pretty, sexy, loveable, etc. while still being a klutz, making foolish decisions, etc.
    - She's a freaking alcoholic! I don't know how many times Angela has a bit too much to drink, and naturally, regretted it the next day while nursing a massive hang over.

    Am excited to read the next book! Angela and Alex are very much in love, and I look forward to reading more about them!

  • Hannah

    This is my favourite books in the series. I Heart #3 introduces in more depth the rest of Alex's band Stills which I was so interested in from the beginning. While playing a festival in Paris and holidaying with Angela for his 30th Birthday Alex bumps into his ex whose also playing for the festival. Alex and Angela are very make and break in this story and i like the outcome at the end of the book. My one disappoint is Jenny isn't in this book an awful lot.

    Gewoon weer een heerlijk verhaal. Leest lekker weg.

    Release Date: July 8, 2010
    Genre: Chick Lit

    I Heart Paris is the 3rd book in the I Heart series and should be read in order of publication. This is a fun and humorous chick lit series that will keep readers laughing at the misadventures of Angela for days! This is also one of my favorite chick lit series and reminds me of the Shopaholic series (without the shopping addiction) by Sophie Kinsella. So if you like Kinsella's books then you will love Lindsey Kelk's books!

    I am going to keep this review short and sweet because it is an "older" title. If you haven't read the series, you need to start with the first book -
    I Heart New York and go on from there. The entire series revolves around the heroine Angela and her adventures and mishaps around the world (well, almost). The stories (like this one) are fun, lighthearted, and downright hilarious! This is a must have series for all chick lit fans and I couldn't recommend it enough. In this one, Angela sets off to Paris with her boyfriend. Thinking it will be a lovely trip with lots of romance and galloping the streets of Paris Angela feels ecstatic. That is, until ex girlfriends come into the picture, her suitcase gets blown up, and someone plays her for a fool when it comes to her job. Sigh. Will Angela ever catch a break? Or will this trip to Paris shatter her world more then she ever thought possible?

    Read the book and you will find out!

  • Sonja

    The first book in this series was great, the second was quite good, but this one totally sucked... To be honest I started this one a long time ago, so by now I can't remember much, but when our dearest Angela wanted to lick a French woman's face because French women *always* look *that* good, no matter how shitty they actually really look... Well, that was that for me...
    I really love chick lit and my preference is the so called "trash literature" even though I am majoring in German and English literature, but this book was way too, you know, unrealistic that I couldn't bear it anymore. The protagonist wants to lick a French woman's face, her entire luggage gets lost, her boyfriend's ex sits in his lap, but WTF? The protagonist is in fucking Paris, France and all the French people look too gorgeous to give a shit! (some more things bothered me, but as I already said, I can't remember for the life of it! I probably repressed it...)
    Book two was already getting on my nerves and I lost my sympathy for the heroine, because Angela fell too soon and too fast for another (and actually gay, but we get to know about that towards the end of book two) guy even though her oh-so gorgeous boyfriend was sitting and waiting in NY for her.. I wasn't expecting that book three could get worse than that, but colour me surprised.
    This clearly means for me no more of the "I Heart" series and probably no more Lindsey Kelk. Ever.

  • Rachel Burton

    So the first book, I heart New York, was quirky and funny. The second one, I heart Hollywood, was a really weak story with funny parts. This one was, for want of a better word, crap.

    When I read a series of books about one character, I expect the character to develop, to learn from their mistakes, to go out and achieve something. Not just carry on having the same "hilarious" mishaps in different cities. And just as in life, if characters in books drank less they might feel well enough to do something, well, interesting.

    Finally, would it be possible ever perhaps to read a chick-lit book where the heroine didn't want to get married and have babies.

    Maybe I should write it. It would, of course, be semi-autobiographical. I suspect there's not much of a market ;)

  • Kim-Lost-In-A-Book

    Angela is really annoying now. I couldn't even enjoy the parts about Paris the city (a city I love) because I was too distracted by how immature Angela is. I was glad to see Cici got what was coming to her. I'm so tired of Angela getting drunk all the time, I'm tired of people and usually strangers or people she hardly knows constantly bailing her out and helping her in ways that she doesn't deserve. I've already ordered the next book but I'm not sure if I'm going to read it or not, I may just have to keep it on the shelf for a while to give myself a break from it before I read it.

  • Love Fool

    Really 3.5 stars.

    Angela is in the city of love -- but romance is taking a nose-dive! When Angela Clark's boyfriend Alex suggests a trip to Paris at the same time as hip fashion mag Belle asks her to write a piece, she jumps at the chance. But even as she's falling for the joie de vivre of Paris, someone's conspiring to sabotage her big break. And when she spots Alex having a tete-a-tete with his ex in a local bar, Angela's dreams of Parisian passion all start crashing down around her. With London and her old life only a train journey away, Angela can't decide if should stay and face the music or run away home!

    This was better than parts 1 and 2 butttt I hated how Angela was, lack of a better word, stupid. I love Paris and the whole romance, history, fashion, and food of the city so I was excited to read this book based on that on top of reading part 5 and loving that but so far it seems like part 5 is the only really good book of the series.

    I don't know why Lindsey Kelk has to make Angela dumb regarding Alex, their relationship, and his ex. Why would anyone go to their boyfriend's ex's party? Especially after he tells you he's not going? So stupid. Maybe because I'm 30 I don't see the point of caring to see my boyfriend's ex or where she lives or seem cool with her. I'm more like "he's mine now and once you had me you don't go back".

    Also, if I saw my boyfriend with his ex having lunch or drinks after he told me he's practicing or whatever, you bet my fat ass would march right over to them and confront them with my biotch smile. It bothered me how weak Angela was acting. Man up bitch!

  • Gayatri

    2.5 stars, actually!
    I don't know, this book is better than the previous books in the series and I kind of enjoyed reading it but something is missing, thus I couldn't bring myself to give it 3 stars! On the other hand, some moments were really sweet and I especially liked Louisa-Angela interaction. Is it strange that I like Lou more than I like Jenny? Maybe, it is!
    So, overall this book is a good, light ONE TIME read!

  • shannon✨

    2.5 stars

    I'm glad I listened to this one on audio, because I'm not sure if could've gotten through it. It's not new for me to be annoyed with Angela, but this time those feelings definitely have intensified. In my opinion she was just so egocentric as well as naive. It's just that this storyline was a bit more fun than the previous one. Hopefully the next book will be better.

  • Rea Cobb

    I saw this book when I was looking in the library new books section and the cover shouted out to me even though it was an author I had not heard of before. The front cover looks like your typical fun, chick-lit style read.

    The problem was it was not until I got home and started to read that I found out that this book was the third in the series after I Heart New York and I heart Hollywood.
    I was unsure if to carry on reading as I was worried I wouldn't be able to fall into the story having not read the previous books. The trouble was I didn't have another book so I carried on.

    The book is about Angela Clarke who writes her own blog. At the beginning of this book her boyfriend, Alex, suggests a trip to Paris which fits in nicely with a new job opportunity for Angela to write a piece for Belle magazine on Paris and also for Alex to play at a festival.

    Trouble starts with the moment Angela gets on the plane and the disasters keep coming. When arriving in Paris Angela finds that her luggage has been blown up so she only has the items which she is standing in. If this was not bad enough when she walks into the cafe to meet Alex she sees a blonde bombshell sitting on his lap! Angela finds herself very isolated and a little home sick in this book when she finds out some truths about Alex's past, and finds herself at a point where her job, relationship, and friendships are all on the line.

    What was meant to be a nice romantic break to Paris was actually the break from hell. You find when you are reading this book you keep thinking surely things cannot get any worse for Angela but something else always seems to happen.

    As I said I didnt read the previous books but I have to say I still flowed along nicely with the story. There were a few references which kept coming up to do with a past relationship and a previous trip to LA which obviously I could not relate to. I would advise you to read the previous two books first!

    I was surprised how much I warmed to Angela as a character as I would have thought with there being three books her personality would have to grow on you but I did not find that this was the case. You generally felt for Angela on many occasions .
    There was a surprising twist towards the end of the book which I really did not see coming but had me on the edge of my seat! I do love a book with twists and not being able to predict what is going to happen in the next chapter. I do find many chick-lit books become repetitive but this book was defiantly not following in those footsteps.

    I enjoyed this book so much I am now going to try and get the other two books to read. I can only hope that they are as good, if not better than this book.
    This book is a light chick- lit read and would be an ideal holiday book. I still think that there could be another book released after this one as things were not tied up at the end of the book her life is still left hanging in the air.

  • Viktoria

    Поразительно. Книга об одном из моих любимых городов (в котором я, к счастью, даже однажды была!) понравилась пока мне меньше всего.

    - Vous etes la femme la plus renversante a Paris. Acune autre femme ne compare k vous.
    - Я понятия не имею, что ты сейчас сказал, но гарантирую, что секс тебе обеспечен.

    Сюжет описывать в целом не стану, оглашу самое главное и закидаю парочкой цитаток. Если мои отзывы вообще кто-то читает :D

    Автор описала Париж каким-то недоразумением, героине там абсолютно не понравилось, да и вообще как-то город оказался связан с плохими событиями и воспоминаниями.

    Ты ведь знаешь, я люблю тебя, даже несмотря на то что ты ходячее стихийное бедствие.

    а) Все же бывшую подружку включать в сюжет было необязательно. Да, заставила подергаться героев, но в целом как-то оказалось не к месту, да и итог весьма специфичный.
    б) В этой части серии нам показали, насколько же все же герои влюблены. Это мне очень понравилось. Да, они топтались немного на одном и том же месте, показали свою нерешительность и смущение, но все равно было видно, как они привязаны друг к другу.
    в) Алекс говорит по-французски. Sexy.
    г) В третьей книге нам раскрыли лучших друзей Алекса - его компаньонов по группе. Персонажи те еще, скажу я вам.
    д) Учитывая, что я знаю, сколько стоит билет на "Евростар" в одну сторону :D Да и вообще выглядело это как-то по-детсадовски.
    е) Мне понравилось, что Энджел действительно оказалась влюбленной в Нью-Йорк. Что дом для нее не там, где ее семья, а там, где она чувствует себя счастливой.

    description

    Прости, Париж, но от меня троечка.

    Но изо дня в день я, честное слово, любила его не за то, что он бог рок-музыки, а за то, что он покупал чайные пакетики без моего ведома при том, что не пьет чай, и за то, что записывал для меня "Сплетницу", даже когда серии повторялись.

    I Heart Paris is the third book in Lindsey Kelk’s I Heart series. The series includes:
    #1-
    I Heart New York
    #2-
    I Heart Hollywood
    #3-
    I Heart Paris
    #4-
    I Heart Vegas
    #5-
    I Heart London
    #6-
    I Heart Christmas

    I read books one and two in 2012 and loved them! When I continued the series with I Heart Paris, I lost interest and didn't finish. Thinking it was just poor timing, I picked it back up a year later and finished it. Out of the three that I have read, I Heart Paris is my least favorite but it’s not bad. Overall, I ended up liking it.

    The heroine in the I Heart series is Angela Clark, a British broken-hearted girl who runs away to America when her life in London becomes too filled with drama and heartache. Her adventures are so funny- classic chick-lit humor but unfortunately, I Heart Paris didn’t offer much of that humor until the end. I think that’s why I lost interest. I’m glad I finished it though because the ending was good, with a few laugh out loud moments. I already own the fourth book (prematurely buying the series after loving the first two) so I will likely continue the series.

    My favorite quote:
    It was only just after ten but people were already lining up for the show. For a moment, I forgot how pissed off I was with Alex and just felt incredibly proud. I couldn’t imagine how it must feel to see people queuing to see you do something you loved. No one was ever likely to stand in line to watch me inhale a tub of Phish Food and settle in for a three-hour America’s Next Top Model marathon. I made a mental note actually to get around to doing something relevant with my life. Or at least have a think about it.”

  • Elaine

    4.5 stars
    I think this is the best book in the I Heart series so far. It is defenitely much better than I Heart Hollywood.

    This is a light and breezy read with lots of laughs throughout. Alex is such a dream boat. Their romantic story is so gripping. You almost want them to fight so you can read about their makeup.

    I only have one complaint. When Angela's talking to the crowd at that festival and she needs someone to translate for her because apparently people in Europe don't understand English... We Europeans are not savages you know. Most of us understand and speak English quite well. Take my word for it. So I found that scene a little stupid and very unrealistic and it knocked half a star off my rating.

    But overall the I Heart books never fail to make me smile and I always whiz through them wanting to know what mishap Angela will face next. Certainly not for readers wanting something serious and gritty but a nice read none the less.

  • Astrid Paramita

    If you didn't like Twilight's Bella, then you'll hate the main character in this book, Angela.

    I picked it up while waiting at Paris' Airport, the only English chicklit book in their selection. I regret it.

    Never before I had wished the main character would be better off rotten and failed. I didn't think she had any redeeming quality... unless a love of designer stuff and total clumsiness/ignorance are passable as redeeming.

    This book was advertised as "If you like Sex and the City..." so maybe, just maybe if you like Sex and the City, you'd like this too. I love chicklits but I can't stand Sex and the City (the movie).

    For me, the only good thing about this book was the setting. It has a decent portrayal of Paris, and it made me want to go there again.

  • Olivia Chapé

    The story of this book in the series wasn't my favourite, but it's still good.  I guess I thought it would be a little more, "Devil Wears Prada", but instead it felt a little more like, "The inbetweeners". 

    Whilst listening to this book, I thought it would be good to pair this with a book about Chanel, seeing as we're going to Paris and everything!
    I thought "i heart Paris" was code for "i heart Fashion", but sadly that doesn't come across here.  Not to worry, "i heart Hollywood" and "i heart Vegas", has some more inspiration for those fashionistas out there!

    We are first introduced to Angela's Marc by Marc Jacobs bag in book 1.  Angela comes across as never even experiencing fashion brand labels un her life, until she lands in America.  As she was living a sheltered life, it's not unusual to find out that she finds herself out of her depth working for Belle; a fashion magazine.  Nevertheless, I was still expecting Angela to be like the girl from "The Devil wears Prada", and come out looking drop dead gorgeous and fabulous by the end of it.  I thought her new assistant lapdog was going to turn her into a stunning princess.  But in a later book in the series, Kelk actually refers to this movie saying that real life isn't like "The Devil Wears Prada".

    The reality is that fashion is a little different in France.  For instance, French girls are a lot more casual and conservative, compared to American and even English ladies, as they tend to go about their day bare-faced and make-up free.  My french husband was shocked when he first encountered his first dose of Essex girls in England.  Not only was the orange mask frightening, but their behaviour was also a shocker.  He couldn't believe how agressive they can be, and Kelk shows this feistiness through her writing.

    But do not fear, Angie's fashionista spirit comes alive again in the following book after this.  Just like Hollywood, Vegas is in need of stilettos and slutty outfits. 

    In Paris, there's a scene where they go to a grotty music festival.  I say grotty, because it doesn't come across all punk-rock and sequins dresses.  I thought there would be more scenes of laughter and random friendships here, perhaps meeting another new character like the actor James Jacobs. 

    Instead it's full of bitchiness and rivalry.  Not just with the super hot ex girlfriend, but also with her other archenemy, Cici; the evil twin from hell.  I can see how the drama would be good for a movie, but I guess, I wasn't expecting this in the beautiful and romantic city of Paris. 

    This book feels a little confusing.  Angela is completely burnt out, running here and there.  It made me feel exhausted just listening to all the bullshit she had to trudge through.

    But it never started out that way.  Well, to be fair Angela getting her foot in the door when she did in book 1 felt like a bit if a fluke and now she was being put to the test.  This was make ir break it time.  For every part of her life.

    Angie begins as a girl boss, being flown away to a far off country for business.  She's living it large, writing for one of the top magazines in the world.  But then the crazy jealous bitches around her try to chew her up and spit her out.  Her career feels like it's being slowly torn at the edges and burned from the inside.  Angela doesn't know who to trust anymore, not Alex, not Jenny, not even Louisa or her mum. 

    From the end of book 1 and start of book 2, Alex and Angela looked like they had reached their "happily ever after" ending.  It almost felt like they were practically married!  But by the end of this book I was almost certain they were going to break up.  All in all, this book was a little depressing and probably my least favourite from the i heart series.

    Everything was going wrong for poor Angie.  My favourite description was about her shoes being blown up.  Aaah the drama! 

    If you are on the fence and wondering whether or not to carry on with this series, I can tell you that it does get better, and way funnier too.  Kelk touches upon so many issues and fantasies women think about or come across throughout their life.  This book is the filler episode; the bump in the road, part of the series, so whatever you do, don't stop here!

    If this was a stand alone book, I would give it 3 stars, but because it's part of a series, it gets 4 stars, because it's Lindsey Kelk and you can't really skip it. It's part of who she is. And like the french say, "We must suffer in this life".

    Recommended for: fan's of 'chick lit'

    i really do love the 'I Heart' series by the brilliant Lindsey Kelk and this one is an amazing addition to the series. This book features Angela Clark, Jenny Lopez and Alex Reid which are three amazing characters they each bring something fun and funny to the story. They are very likeable and relatable characters. The writing style makes the book flow effortlessly, it is the kind of 'chick lit' book that I love with the unpredictable Angela Clark, it has the amazing setting of the romantic Paris which suits it well as we follow Angela and Alex's relationship blossoming. This is a great lighthearted, romantic, funny, uplifting book which is perfect for fan's of 'chick lit' type books, and will likely make you want to read the rest of the series. You can read this one by itself you don't need to have read all the other books.

  • Rachel

    Favourite one of the series so far. Just love all the British humour Lindsey Kelk puts into her stories. I have listened to all of this series [so far] on audiobook and the narrator is really good and does great accents. It's also nice to have the same narrator for all the books so the characters voices stay consistent :)

  • Valerie

    En weer een heerlijk vehaal over Angela Clark, ditmaal in Parijs.
    Wat een drama een mens kan meemaken om het vervolgens weer allemaal op een rijtje te krijgen. Just an ordinary chicklit with a bunch of humor and dramas.
    Ondanks dat naar mijn idee elk boek dezelfde verhaallijn heeft, wordt het niet saai. We blijven dan gewoon weer doodleuk verder lezen in deze serie.

  • Luise

    Angela's next adventure leads her to Paris and of course, she ends up in quite a lot of trouble. It was kind of exhausting to endure such amounts of embarrassing and chaotic events. Some of them resolved themselves as they were related to the sabotage or just 'unfortunate events' - so they were more acceptable in hindsight. Others were caused by Angela's mature way of acting (i. e. getting-drunk-'til-vomiting-and/or-passing-out and stuff.) She has such a knack for maneuver herself into awkward situations. My sympathy was a bit limited in those cases.

    However, after all that crap piled up and escalated, I liked how it all straightened out towards the end. I think this part would have been really good, if there had been a little less of those awful situations.

  • Emma S Rice

    I Heart Paris seeps with ‘Sex and the City’ type romances and city views. With promises of Paris on the front cover, Kelk dives right into the story and we whisk off to Paris in no time.
    This is the third novel in a series of I Heart books and I have to say I did enjoy it. You would need to have read the first
    Two novels to really get a sense of Angela’s personality and character. She is incredible quirky, and not to mention really quite clumsy, but it all adds to her, sometimes, immature nature. She is desperate to be loved and I did struggle with her relationship with Alex. It does seem a tad forced on her side and a bit desperate.
    And she has completely landed on her feet when it comes to her job. The reasons for going to Paris slotted together a bit too easily and it made the trip a little bit unbelievable if looking at it from a real life stance.
    But! And I say that with huge commitment. This is a romance comedy. It is not supposed to be true to life. As an author you are meant to be able to flower up reality. Kelk does a brilliant job of bringing Angela back down to earth through a series of mishaps along the way which makes her far more relatable.
    Kelly’s ability to describe Paris is incredible. I felt like I was really there with Angela, and her disappointment was also mine.
    The speech was easy to read and very natural, controlling the flow of the novel. We pause to have a narrative on Angela’s thoughts every now and then to keep her personality crystal clear.
    I liked the fact that Kelk also keeps these novels very clean. The controlled build up to sex certainly leaves the reader hot and sweaty, but Kelk manages to break off just at the pivotal moment and the reader is left with just their imagination and a bead of sweat on their forehead.

    I am really looking forward to the next instalment in the I Heart Series.

  • Abi Holligan

    The third book in the I Heart series, I HEART PARIS follows on the story of Angela writing her blog for thelook.com and when her boyfriend Alex mentions he has been asked to play at a festival in Paris and wants her to go with him see thinks this would be a great trip and ends up turning into a work trip too. But when they get to Paris, Angela or Alex didn't know that his ex-girlfriend Solene would be there to make trouble...

    I love this series, they are really light hearted and put you through the emotions, laughing, crying, smiling and shouting. I think they are written perfectly and i love Angela and Alex they are soo good together, I can relate to Angela really easily because she it just a normal girl who likes to watch gossip girl and america's next top model eating Ben and Jerrys.
    I thought this storyline was very good it reversed from I HEART HOLLYWOOD a little with Alex thinking something was going on with Angela and James Jacobs now it's Angela's turn to think something is going on with Alex and Solene. I am also so glad that Jenny seems to have moved back to New York for good, she is suched a funny character and helps Angela out a lot, she really needs her.
    I really hope there is another book in this series, maybe one to do with weddings?

  • Bookatiepillar

    I did not like this book. I am not a type for romances but I picked this as a giveaway and I wanted to read it before I give it to my lovely followers.

    This book is not my cup of tea... the main character has no self respect. She needs to be constantly saved by people around her. Her suitcase is destroyed by the airline because they suspect it has explosive in... and they don't tell her until she lands in the destination? I am sorry I work for an airline and this is not how it works. If there was a suspicious object they would not allow her to fly in the first place.
    She meets her boyfriends ex and gets jealous and believes there is still something going on between them in the next second? Wtf? We all have past, all right? Chill...
    She is not what a strong independent woman character should be or good example of how a woman should behave in relationship... or behave in general.
    I didn't finish this book. I couldn't make myself do it.
    Tell me why do women in the romantic books have to be weak and think they are useless and have to wait for a man to protect them? Why is that romantic?

  • Dumpling Dumpling

    I enjoyed this book a lot more than the second one. This time, Angela went to Paris with Alex to celebrate his birthday and because he was performing at a festival. Angela got given a job at Belle magazine to write a piece about her trip to Paris. The trip was meant to be a romantic get away but things soon went wrong.

    Angela still really annoys me as a character as when she has problems with Alex she ignores them rather than talking about them. There are elements of her character that are really relatable though and I really enjoyed seeing the Gossip Girl references.

    This series is a very light hearted and the books are quick reads. The situations at times seem really extreme, but there are elements that are quite realistic. I like seeing how the characters have changed from the first book.

    Париж си е Париж , но все пак се надявам да не си остана само с описанията за този град.
    Въпреки , че са направени добре, най-хубаво би било да ги проверя на живо.
    Даже може и като романтична разходка :)

    Dok nije doslo do zanimljivog dela,gde Andjela vidi Aleksa u kaficu sa Solen. Ova knjiga mi je bila nekako monotona. Tesko sam je citala, nije mi se dopala. Onda kad iz desavala sva ta zbrka, zaintrigirala me. Imam neke slicne osobine ko Andjela. 😂

    эта часть прям ползла.



    спойлеры.



    неожиданно Анжелу нанимают писать для очень известного журнала, в котором никто, ее не любит. ей дают ассистентку Вирджинию. она отправилась в Париж писать статью вместе с Алексом и его группой. по дороге ее чемодан со всеми вещами уничтожили работники аэропорта, ей нечего носить. плюс она узнала от друзей Алекса, что Алекс встречался с француженкой. они встречаются с группой девушек, которые идеально выглядят . там есть девушка Солин, которая, как выясняется позже, встречалась с Алексом, жила с ним и изменила ему с его другом. Анжела узнает это все, придя к ней на вечеринку.
    она приходит домой, он злой, что она лезет в его прошлые отношения, когда лезть уже не во что. она упала,у нее жуткий синяк. все ещё пытается свою статью написать.
    один раз, когда она пошла в бар, он был там с это бывшей. конечно, ей ничего не сказал. и до этого на вечеринку к бывшей с Анжелой наотрез отказался идти.. а ещё он сказал, что не хочет жениться и детей, ибо один раз его так уже кинули.
    каким-то образом его бывшая Солин говорит Анжеле, что он будет с ней. плюс Алекс не приходит ночевать, да и Анжела их двоих видит в баре. она психует и уезжает в Лондон. по пути звонит лучшей подруге, та ей вправляет мозги, Анжела едет обратно. в это время концерт начинается, а Алекс, оказывается, поехал за ней в Лондон и вот возвращается, его все ждут. тут бывшая говорит, что мол они вместе, а потом кидается на Анжелу, они все дерутся. приходит Алекс, спасает концерт.
    они помирились, приехали домой, Анжела к нему переехала.с бывшей у них ничего не было. но Анжелу уволили и могут департировать.
