GOODBYE, PARIS by Anstey Harris & GIVEAWAY

After reading a barrage of thrillers and psychological dramas, it was more than satisfying to find the quirky GOOD-BYE, PARIS (Touchstone) on my to be read shelf. It’s a delightful novel about having your heart-broken and finding happiness again. GOOD-BYE, PARIS is a cheery and incredibly satisfying read. Can you tell I liked it immensely?

Grace loves the cello. Grace loves David. Grace loves Paris, her violin shop and the charming gentleman who regularly shows up in her store. Grace even loves her rude, highly opinionated teenager store clerk, whom all the customers adore.

But when David saves a woman on the Paris Metro and becomes famous, his long-distance affair with Grace is open to public scrutiny and some unexpected hidden truths find the light.

“Sometimes you must have your heart-broken to make it whole.” GOOD-BYE PARIS, has been compared to Jojo Moyes meets Eleanor Oliphant. If you’ve read either, you’ll find something very special in GOOD-BYE, PARIS … plus, we discover another British author, who is making her debut across the pond.
