Molly Clearwater, the heroine of this book, is a likeable character although a bit naive. Escaping the clutches of her sleazy English boss she takes the Eurostar to Paris on a whim and ends up going on a mad weekend adventure. At times it all seems a bit far fetched but there are some great characters here such as Molly's slightly mad mother! It's pure escapism and although perhaps I didn't love it as much as some of Sysman's earlier offerings such as Just Friends, I did enjoy reading this book on holidays and it was a very pleasant way to while away the time. If you love Paris then you will like this as the author depicts the magical essence of Paris extremely well.
