More Highlights
May include spoilers
- My favorite character: Aubrye- she was the participant with all knowledge travel & sightseeing-wise which I loved 🙂
- My favorite funny moment: I don’t think they were funny “laugh out loud” moments in this story but a lighthearted moment I liked was the discussion of unusual ice cream flavors
- One Thing that Stood Out: I really loved the way the author tackled the issues between Colin and Quinn
- Something New I Learnt: I discovered more sights to see in Paris
- One Thing I Found Unique: This book was extremely informative in terms of the descriptions and information shared about the various sights visited on the tour
- Favorite Quote: We’ve built something strong and true, and if we have to live multiple hours apart for a year or so, I know we can.
- Favorite Scene: On Montmartre- I was actually there in Paris so it brought back wonderful memories
- Aww Moment: The Proposal- I wasn’t sure if the proposal would happen while they were in Paris so it was awesome to read about it
