Goodbye, Paris by Anstey Harris
4.0
Grace was an introvert to begin with but when she got kicked out of music college she became even more closed up. She focus only on bettering her skills. Music was her life. She lives a quiet life making and repairing musical instruments.
Until she met David and have a long distance affair... Grace opened up. She though she found the love of her life. That when his kids are old enough, he'll leave his loveless marriage. Things seem to be going well for them until one day due to his heroic act on the Paris Metro, his instant fame brought out the ugly truth!
A truth that no woman can accept! In an outrage, Grace destroy some musical instruments at her shop including a cello that she entered for a competition!
She was all ready to give up on the competition but with help of her shop clerk (a highly temperamental teenager), Nadia and a long time friend (and charming elderly), Mr. Williams she was able to move forward with hope!
It was great to see Grace go from a naive and easily deceive person to one of confidence! Throughout the first half of the book, I kept struggling with frustration at her naive behavior and simple mindset. I was also having trouble with the constant descriptions of music making. it was too much for me.
The other characters tugged at my heart. I LOVE Mr. Williams! He always have other people's best interest at heart! It was fun to look deeper into Nadia's thought process as a teenager. Overall, it was a pleasant read minus the frustration at the beginning!
