First of all, how rude of Geissinger to do this to me AGAIN 🤯 I went into this book with one eye closed, gearing myself up for an inevitable twist, just to still to be completely blindsided by the direction it took!

The story follows a writer, lost in the grief of losing her family, who meets a handsome and equally troubled artist, while on an extended vacation in Paris. What begins as a summer fling, with great sarcastic banter I might add, starts to take quite the turn as she pieces together that not all is what it seems and her reality fractures.

This book absolutely gutted me at one point, and gave me whiplash at several others. Don’t get me wrong, it was fantastically written, kept me guessing at every turn, and had great “open door” romance scenes, but I can’t see myself coming back to read it again as I will likely be drawn back to Pen Pal.
