Paris for One and Other Stories

Loved it.Short and sweet.A great pick me up.Sometimes love comes fast and sweet.Love Paris and this one was good.Smiles.Happy ending.

"Paris for One and Other Stories" is the first book by JoJo Moyes that I ever read. The title story is a novella and the rest are short stories. While light reading, this was definitely enjoyable. The author made you care about the characters and there were some surprising twists. A good beach read or book to curl up with on a rainy day. Based on this book, I think I will try more of the author's books.

This was an interesting book of short stories by a fantastic author. The first story Paris for One is the length of a novella and the additional 8 are short stories. As with any short story collection, there were some that I really liked and others not so much. Instead of being all about 'happily ever after', these stories were a more realistic portrayal of life -- some had happy endings and some didn't but they were all about women and how they handled their lives and their marriages. My favorite was Paris for One. Nell, a shy English girl, plans her first trip to Paris with her boyfriend - who doesn't show up. Nell can either take the first train back home, stay in her hotel or go out and experience Paris. Her choices completely change her life and she is a different person at the end of the story. Read these short stories if you'd like a glimpse of the author's wonderful writing and then order one of her novels to find the wonderful characters she creates.

A wonderful story of a girl lacking confidence with a selfish boyfriend. She ends up in Paris alone and what a time she has as she finds her joy within. My first book by this author and I look forward to more.

Nell Simmons isn’t known for being an impulsive girl. Her colleagues debated about how she was going to spend her bonus. Was she going to stash it in the bank or maybe splurge on a different sandwich selection for lunch? She would surprise everyone. She spends her hard-earned money on a holiday in Paris for her and her longtime boyfriend. It’s the first time she’s had the opportunity to travel and she’s filled with so much anticipation. Circumstances take an unexpected turn when she finds herself all alone in an unfamiliar city. She has a choice. She can either take the easy way out and the next train home or she can try to find out who she really is and exactly why Paris is always a good idea. Paris For One & Other Stories is another fine example of why we are so in love with everything Jojo Moyes! Each short story in this poignant compilation is overflowing with emotions that will grip your heart and then set it free in a way that only she can fashion. You will find yourself being moved to tears, laughing out loud and maybe even finding the inspiration to take a chance on love once again…

Loved every page, including the short stories! The short stories were just an added delight to get to read after the novel! Will definitely look for more books & short stories by Jojo Moyes!

I am a big fan of Jojo Moyes so anytime she has a new book out I can't wait to read it. I love her writing style. She is so good at making you feel like you are really getting to know her characters. This was a different book for her because there was one longer story and then the rest were very short stories. The only thing I didn't like was the stories were sometimes too short. I wanted to know more!!! But that is me. They were still very well written and all were nice love stories. And each one different from the last. Really enjoyed this one :)

I enjoyed JoJo Moyes’ book, Paris for One and Other Stories. The stories took me on a quick series of vacations and adventures with the women characters. Charming escapes through reading!

Reading

Fue un libro muy tranquilo pero lindo. La protagonista logra salir de su zona de confort de una manera interesante. Las historias son muy concisas pero te dejan con una pequeña trama pero disfrutable

The book is made of one mid-length story with several short stories. Most stories leaves the audience imagine the aftermath. If you’re the type to make your own endings, this book would be perfect.

Very fast shipping, book was in excellent shape for used!

Lovely read fast delivery
