Paris’s latest novel is a delightful blend of wit and heart, offering a refreshing perspective on self-love and self-discovery. Abbey Reilly has grown accustomed to the backhanded compliments about her looks and has given up on finding love. After sacrificing her architectural career to care for her sick mother and working long hours at a bakery just to make ends meet, Abbey has resigned herself to a life without romantic prospects. So when she catches the eye of the charming Jackson Lawrence, she’s more than wary. But Jax’s vengeful ex-girlfriend wants him back. Will Abbey learn to embrace her true beauty and find the love she deserves? Paris’s skillful characterization shines through as Abbey and Jax navigate the complexities of their budding relationship, facing obstacles before finding solace in each other’s presence. As an underdog chasing her dreams, Abbey’s vulnerability endears readers to her triumphs in love and life. While Jax exudes charm and sweetness, it is Caroline who truly captivates with her sass and charm. With a touch of humor and optimism, the third-person omniscient narration allows for a deep exploration of the characters’ inner turmoil, particularly Abbey’s struggle with her body image. A compassionate and enchanting rom-com that will undoubtedly leave readers feeling warm and fuzzy.
