The Last Time I Saw Paris

I wish I could do half-stars on the rating, because I would go 2.5 rather than a plain 2. I liked the beginning, became weary towards the middle, wanted to stop towards the end of the middle, and finally reconciled in the end.As it stands, it is a meaningful love story, one that will make you smile as you root for Lara Lewis, the main character with the ailing heart, to find love and, in doing so, herself. I've never been one to be a cynic, but at times the novel was too cheesy and not at all realistic. I didn't believe in the characters and I did not believe in the sudden romance between Lara and Dan. Some of the lines were incredibly cliche, almost too much for a fluffy, romantic novel like this.If you're looking for a quick, show more light-hearted discovery of love and identity, I would recommend this book. And if you love France, because one of the positives in this novel was her descriptions of Paris and the South of France. I have personal experiences in most of the cities she mentions from a lifetime ago, and her details and descriptions brought me right back. show less

Not as good as it could've been.
