The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

3.5

Prologues get me man… if you have a good prologue, you’ve got me hooked. The Paris Apartment has a good one. This reads from multiple POV’s and it’s very quick in the beginning and then begins to slow down throughout the middle just to pick back up towards the end. We start with short chapters with quick tidbits of information from different people. They’re short enough to gain interest, but hold just enough information to already have you guessing if that person is good or bad. The FMC gets on my nerves a little bit because of how socially unaware she is as well as just plain rude and imposing. I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be though considering her upbringing and background. At about 70% through, I started to get a little bored because not much was happening and questions weren’t being answered. It was just a lot of assumptions and theories and suspicious people. I guess we’re using this time to really find out who Ben was and what he was doing and also who he was to everyone else. The spice level would probably be at a 🌶️🌶️. There’s a lot of talk about it from different people in regard to relationships, but nothing is described and there’s certainly not whole chapters dedicated to diving into every detail. I was expecting the end, but it was still a good finish.
