Book #18 "Lunch in Paris" by Elizabeth Band: "For the record, I'm not an indecisive person, and I'm not a coward. I just have a very detailed imaginary life, and it sometimes takes precedence over what's actually happening around me." (Page 107)
Oh my goodness you guys it has been over two months sense I have finished a book, that is nuts! I have been in-between 3 books for the last month but nothing was really holding my attention like it normally does so I was struggling just a bit.
I decided to put my other books down for a while and randomly picked this up at the library just for something easy to give my brain a rest. I got to tell you it was just the thing, this book would make a very good beach read or just vacation in general I guess.
It is about a American girl falling in love with a guy from Paris and then she ends up moving there and they get married. I felt that Band did a very good job of really capturing the feelings of how hard it is to change cultures and basically your entire way of thinking when you move someplace new like that. It also did a very good job of relating the way things went down between her and her now in-laws, and how awkward that can be especially when you can't always understand what they are saying in the beginning.
Guess it is fair to say that I can just relate with her right now sense I just got engaged last weekend and now I am going to becoming part of a whole new family, just a bit nerve racking to say the least.
Oh! Something I forgot to mention is at the end of each chapter is a couple different recipes, food that is talked about or that she eats while in Paris. So if your looking for something new to cook and a easy read then this book is the book for you! ;)
On a side note I guess now that this book is done it is time to return to the ones I was working my way through...sigh. Let's make a deal if I'm still not done with them or my interest has not picked up the end of the month I get to put the books down for good and move on without judgment, good? yes? good!
Well that's all for now,
Michaela Jane
