Paris, He Said by Christine Sneed

3.0

The Paris-based self-discovery book is a well-trod road and it’s hard to find writers saying anything new about it. Drinking game: sip when the protagonist sits at a cafe by herself and feels renewed. I’m not as cynical as I sound–really–and that’s mostly because sitting at a cafe by myself in Paris sounds absolutely delightful. So I get it. Anyway, this book surprised me in ways good and bad. It was deeper and darker than I anticipated, with interesting reflections on relationships, family, and human connections. The main character Jayne is believably flawed: she’s insecure and confused in ways that might reach parts of all of us.
