A blend of the real and the supernatural, the book poses the question: what if you could have one last meal with someone you've lost? A really unique concept and an interesting story. Well-written.

A beautifully written story that portrays important and realistic issues; the issues being both relatable and gut wrenching at times, powerfully showing the ups and downs of teenage drama, social dynamics, trauma, mental pressures, and finding yourself while accepting your differences.

Re-reading

I didn’t like that the boy wasn’t really from Paris.

Enjoyed this book the whole way through. I loved to see everyone’s different view point of the family system and their individual dynamics. How certain feelings can be misinterpreted and missed by those closest to you.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. I don’t need a book that mentions the pandemic all the time and I didn’t like the main character at all either. It was a predictable read.

Interesting back and forth with the different time periods. I would look for this author's other offerings.

Really good and cute short read! This is a teen romance story mixed in with mythology. The characters are realistic and relatable and the ending is satisfying, even if it wasn’t what I had hoped. Overall would definitely recommend!

These poems are the words I did not know I needed. “ Challenge your own guilt about things you do not control. Tell it to hush.” Page 33 from Challenge . Anderson’s poems inspire peace and reassurance that it is okay to just be and you are a part of nature . His poems depict his own struggles with anxiety and depression, inspiring a connection that you are not alone in your struggles.

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story
