Party girl Vicki moved to Paris hoping to drink wine and fall in love. She
accomplished both goals but not without bumps along the way: romantic
encounters gone awry, uniquely French situations threatening her sanity,
and two adorable yet tireless kids keeping her on her toes.

My review
It was an honest memoir: a lovely, clear and fluently written book.
It was easy and relaxing to read too.

I enjoyed reading and sometimes the scenes made me laugh.
However I wanted to read more about Paris than about the author's life.

The author
Bestselling author Vicki Lesage proves daily that raising two French kids
isn't as easy as the hype lets on. In her spare time, she writes, sips bubbly, and
prepares for the impending zombie apocalypse. She just moved back to the
US after living in Paris for 11 years, with her French husband, rambunctious
son, and charming daughter in tow, all of whom mercifully don't laugh
when she says "au revoir". She penned the Paris Confessions series in between
diaper changes and wine refills. She writes about the ups and downs of her life
