5 stars – C’est parfait!
*sniffs**mutters* Bleeping hormones… they’ve got a lot to answer for, I’ll tell you. Or maybe I can just blame the author – what do you think?*shakes head*Nah *nods*, that’s very true. *taps chin* I am a sap. Although in my defence, Keeley and Ethan’s story is so beautiful and heartfelt that I couldn’t help but shed a tear or two. *shrugs* Okay, okay, okay – I sobbed. Happy now?Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.Pfft *crosses arms*, I’d like to see the state of you once you’ve finished. Then we can talk!I’ll deny this till I’m blue in the face, but I’m a sucker for festive feel-good reads. However, APPC was waaay more than that. This book was a surprise and a delight.Keeley and Ethan’s story dealt with some very sensitive and emotive subjects (and does so sympathetically). Yet, the author manages to do what at first seems impossible. She manages to strike the perfect balance between knowing when to ramp up the emotion then breaking the tension with a burst of levity.I had several snort-giggle moments. They are the best kind, aren’t they? When the laughter just bursts free because it can no longer be contained.Keeley is brave and strong. She just needs a gentle nudge to help her find her feet again and embrace the future – whatever it brings.Plus, let’s face it, resistance is futile against a smexy Frenchman! Especially when he doesn’t give his heart freely. Le sigh, it just makes it all the more sweeter.With well-meaning (but meddling) families, a carefree bestie, questionable cosmetics, a penguin (yup, you read that right!) and a surprise addition or two, all set against the backdrop of the City of Love (and, let’s not forget, the most wonderful time of the year!), I dare you not to love all things APPC.My first Christmas-themed read of 2020 and Mandy Baggot has set a really high bar for those that follow this festive season!Soooo…Is it too early to break out the Christmas decorations then?*ducks*I’m only kidding! *giggles*.

Thought-provoking but Christmassy
I love Mandy Baggott books and this was no different. However, this had a slightly more serious slant on it: dealing with heavy issues such as grief, homelessness and the impact of having a transplant but this adds to the novel rather than making it depressing.The world depicted in Paris was sumptuous – a lovely mix of the luxurious and the hidden gems of the real Paris and I loved that Keeley felt more at home in the ‘real’ heart of the city. I really liked her character and her relationships with others and also the insights into her thoughts and frustrations as a transplant and it was great how the novel dealt with the reality of transplants rather than it as an endpoint and happy ever after. However, whilst I loved the character of Erica, I found Keeley’s staying in Paris when Erica’s situation changed a little hard to believe.I loved most of the other characters, especially Jeanne, Ethan and Bobo but didn’t like Rachel: selfish and spoiled was how she came across.Overall, beautifully Christmassy but with a thought-provoking edge.

excellent book
Another excellent book from Mandy Baggot. She really sets the scene so you can imagine yourself in the city. I know Paris very well, so it was like visiting an old friend.

A Big Warm Hug
Keeley received a donor kidney after a tragic accident that took the life of her beloved sister Bea. The mother of the donor makes contact with Keeley and wants to fly her to Paris to meet her. Keeley agrees, and takes her annoying friend Rach along for the journey.In Paris, Ethan is struggling to manage his hotel business after the loss of his business partner. Her family want to make changes that will see him getting the boot – all he needs is a new idea to make the business work again.Mandy’s novels aren’t whodunnits, so you pretty much know what you’re getting from the off, and that’s exactly why I love them. I’m particularly fond of her Christmas releases, and this was no different. It was a really lovely rom-com that had wonderfully lovable characters with the exception of Rach, who absolutely did my head in, and Lizzie, who was smothering Keeley (I feel like there is an over abundance of these women in rom-coms but perhaps this is because there genuinely are a lot of them in reality, lord help us all). This book was like a great big warm hug.

Highly recommend this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made me laugh and also cry. It was funny, sensitive and definitely a page turner. I didn’t want to put it down. A beautifully written story of tragedy, loss, kindness and above all love on so many levels. Well done Mandy. 👏🏻🙋🏼🏴

Perhaps during lock down
Difficult to continue but it improved slightly, overall disappointing read as in my opinion it had such potential.
