I Heart Paris – by Lindsey Kelk

Harper, July 2010

Review by Laura Parish.

Angela is in the city of love – but romance is taking a nose-dive…
When Angela Clark’s boyfriend Alex suggests a trip to Paris at the same time as hip fashion mag Belle asks her to write a piece, she jumps at the chance. But even as she’s falling for the joie de vivre of Paris, someone’s conspiring to sabotage her big break. And when she spots Alex having a tete-a-tete with his ex at a local bar, Angela’s dreams of Parisian passion all start crashing around her. With London and her old life only a train journey away, Angela can’t decide if she should stay and face the music or run away home….

Being new to the ‘I Heart’ series, I didn’t quite know what to expect from ‘I Heart Paris,’ and was new to Angela’s story. Once I’d found my bearings with who’s who in terms of characters ( although knowledge of the previous two books isn’t needed to read this one) I couldn’t put it down, (I seem to have been so lucky with good books at the moment.) Angela is a fun character and it doesn’t take long to warm to her and relate to her. I don’t think I’ve ever been envious of a character in a book before. Angela lives in my favourite city and gets to go to Paris too. Lindsey Kelk puts in many plot twists and although I did try to guess what was going to happen, the end still surprised me. I recommend that you read this and read I Heart New York and I Heart Hollywood whilst you’re at it. That’s what I’m going to do.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
