Description:

India Butler’s journey to America put her life on a new track. Now a trip to Paris threatens to derail her – or to make things all they are supposed to be. With a new job, a new friend, a potential new lover...and an old lover, India is dealing with nearly as much as she can handle. But that’s only the beginning.

The infectious sequel to India’s Summer, Letter From Paris is witty, glamorous, incisive, and refreshingly real.



Rating: 5 stars

Review:

It's so refreshing to read a chick-lit book that doesn't have the main character(s) as a pathetic doormat idiot.

This story follows the lives of two British women, India Butler and Luella Marchmont.

For India, she was taking a trip to Paris for a few days of vacation. Her boyfriend actor Adam Brooks was supposed to join her but got held up at work. However, it worked out perfectly for her because she ended up meeting a writer (Luella) and getting offered a job to help with promoting and marketing the writer's latest book which ties into fashion which India loves.

Now as for Luella, she was visiting Paris not for a vacation but to work on her new book but it also gave her the distance she needed from her husband Peter. She accidentally found out that her husband had been cheating on her but that secret held more than just his infidelity.

This was a wonderful and heartfelt story that told of the life changes these two women were going through. And in a side story, one of India's friends Sarah was dealing with the a life change as well.

I enjoyed reading about all the time spent in Paris, New York and London and all the details throughout the story be it about clothes, food, locations, etc..

Despite this being a sequel (in which I didn't read the first book), it's written in a way that's easy to figure who the characters are and it gives a good amount of backstory.

I love how full of life this book is because life doesn't always work out the way you want it and this book is about accepting change and moving on. This is the first time I've read anything by this author but I am interested in reading more.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves fashion and craves a little bit of travel (even by armchair).

The only problem I have with this book is the cover. It just a little too boring for me.
