One Christmas in Paris by Mandy Baggot

4.0

One Christmas is Paris is a sweet story about letting go and living in the moment. This book is sure to put you in the holiday spirit, no matter the season. Warning! This book will make your mouth water at the slightest mention of some seriously delicious sounding French food! In addition to making you hungry for something scrumptious, this book will make you want to pick up a camera and take photos, or pick up a pen and draw, or it will inspire you to do whatever you find to be artistically stimulating.

Ultimately, this book will make you feel warm and tingly inside while reading the charming love story of Ava and Julien. The themes of this novel include tragedy and loss, cheating and suspicion, and ultimately lessons learned. One of the most important concepts of the novel is that you should live life to the fullest and when you do experience the loss of loved ones, you should remember them with love and joy rather than sorrow. Embracing your passions and opening your heart to love will lend itself to a life worth living.
