Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes

"Nell is twenty-six and has never been to Paris. She's never even been on a romantic weekend away--to anywhere--before. Traveling abroad isn't really her thing. But when Nell's boyfriend fails to show up for their mini-vacation, she has the opportunity to prove everyone--including herself--wrong. Alone in Paris, Nell finds a version of herself she never knew existed: independent and intrepid. Could this turn out to be the most adventurous weekend of her life? Funny, charming, and irresistible, Paris for One is quintessential Jojo Moyes--as are the other stories that round out the collection." (Goodreads.com)

If you are looking for book to read for Valentine's day this would be the one to pick. This book was very cute and I smiled the a lot while I was reading it. I am a fan of Jojo Moyes' Me Before You and this book is written in the same style along, which she does well, with lots of quirky characters. The novella portion of the book was my favorite because of how the main characters are transformed in just one short weekend. The second half of the book is composed of short stories that don't end how you think they will, which is refreshing when it comes to the romance genre. This is a quick read for someone looking for a light-hearted book to enjoy.
