My Thoughts

This novel bristles with Christmas good cheer and is a really festive read. I loved the main characters, Keeley and Ethan,who both seemed to be slightly on the outside of the main group and who showed such vulnerability at the same time. The setting is  superb and really sparkles with the Christmas season. I also enjoyed some of the secondary characters, especially Jeanne, who is so different to the mainstream and Rach, who is so outspoken and down to earth. 

    This is a story which connects with the Christmas season and which explores whether material possessions matter or whether relationships are more important. I thoroughly enjoyed all the descriptive journeys into France's capital and found both Keeley and Ethan to be thoroughly likeable characters. 

In short: Paris shines under the Christmas lights.
