Review: The Paris Model: A Novel

The Paris Model: A Novel by Alexandra Joel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I would like to give this a 3.5. I enjoyed the storyline, but it kind of read like a Danielle Steele (those kinds of fans will love this!) so I didn't enjoy everything. I thought the story was very original, an Australian girl marries the boy she dated before WWII, but life is not always the same after the war, so she changes her ambitions in life. I won't spoil the how, but you can tell by the title that she ends up in Paris working as a model. Her adventures modeling very much follow that Danielle Steele vibe featuring intrigue, and identity crisis, and a man. The book is laced with interactions of famous people like Picasso and Jackie Kennedy and I very much enjoyed these conversations.

All in all, this was a quick read and a nice way to escape to Paris for a couple of hours.


I received a free book in exchange of my honest review.
