Book Twenty: Paris, My Sweet

What began as a lovely memoir told through baguettes, macaroons, and the darkest of chocolates became a cloying sad-sack tale of woe.  Our heroine gets the chance of a lifetime to leave New York behind to work in Paris.  When the going gets tough our author gets whiny and this book becomes exhausting.

Paris, My Sweet is a love story of Paris and New York from author Amy Thomas.  It's unfortunate that her story becomes an obsession of her single life.  Surrounded by 'Frenchies' as she calls them, she can't get past the fact that she can't hold a 'normal' relationship.  Amid her walks to the boulangerie, Thomas always seems to be unsatisfied with the now, always comparing what she has with what she thinks she wants. 

This book frustrated me to no end.  Thomas' whiny narration grated on my nerves.  By the time she has a breakthrough, this reader was over it.
