One Summer in Paris by Sarah Morgan

Paris is certainly flexing for the Olympics. I love seeing the parade of Eiffel Tower selfies gracing my Instagram account with pictures of friends and influencers. It reminded me of this book, "One Summer in Paris" by Sarah Morgan, which I listened to recently. I have been to Paris three times: Once with my first husband, once with my five-person Marshall family, and once with my mom to see the French Open. Each time was a completely different experience. It made me realize that part of the charm of the City of Light is who you experience it with. "One Summer in Paris" is the story of how two women come to form a friendship in Paris, in the most unlikely of circumstances. Grace is in Paris alone following a devastating fight with her husband, while Audrey comes to France to work in a book shop, without any money or knowledge of the French language. Both women, despite their age differences, are in Paris because they are running away from something at home. They form a friendship and end up saving each other. Charming, smart, creative and a tribute to the city itself, "One Summer in Paris" is a treat to read in between the nights spent watching the Olympics full of swimming, basketball and gymnastics. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
