Welcome back to the wonderful world of Annie Valentine and her family and friends.
Time has moved on, the twins are four going on forty. Owen is 17 and still musical but what direction does he go after A level? Lauren is in New York but that doesn't mean she doesn't need her mum.
Ed embarks on a teaching exchange just as Annie's TV career is threatened.
The wonderful chaos of life and Annie. I have missed you.

I love shopping, fashion and beauty and I loved The Personal Shopper, the other book in the Annie Valentine series I’ve reviewed. This time, Annie is in Paris, The sights and sounds of the French capital are so wonderfully created. The chapters are brimming with a love of fashion and new opportunities as she searches for ideas. The twins were so cute and she has a difficult family dynamic. Her life is interesting and realistic. And what’s going on with her husband Ed? Can Annie make amends with Svetlana?

Annie in Paris is fast-paced, passionate and fun. Carmen Reid always makes her books quirky and something I loved about Annie in Paris were the references to Chanel, a complete style icon for me, and the chapter titles in English and French with words relating to fashion, beauty or French life, The insights and tips for French life, fashion and beauty were such a great addition to an already wonderful plot.

I finished this in an evening and it was so good I immediately felt sad when it was over and I wanted to start again. A must for fashion and beauty addicts everywhere!

Carmen Reid’s books are all winners for me, but none more than the Annie Valentine series. Annie is a complete heroine.

Thanks to Carmen Reid, Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for my eARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

5 stars but it deserves many more.
